LGC Glorias Extra Maduro - Often Overlooked

[Papichulo]

Tonight I am reviewing the La Gloria Cubana Glorias Extra Maduro. It sported a 61/2” length, 46 ring wrapped in an oily maduro wrapper. I had this one in the humidor for several months and decided tonight was the night to endulge this $3.00 stick. Yeah you heard me right, $3.00. Prelight aroma enticed my senses. I toasted the foot and then torched the perfect light. The first half inch had a bitterness that developed into a magnificent symphony of coffee and earthy flavors. In the first photo you will notice nearly a 31/2” ash. The ash grey and white with dense rings that you normally find in a $8.00 plus smoke. Volumes of thick white smoke accompanied with a bouquet of sweetness. My son told me this cigar smelled very nice. This particular LGC is not one of the more popular shapes and is often overlooked and underestimated. The second picture did not turn out too well, because my wife is down in Ecuador with our digital camera and had to use my camcorder. The third photo will show the second and last ash before I burned my fingers smoking it to the nub. I rate this smoke a low 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. This stick spells VALUE; just because you have value does not mean bland flavor.

Great smoke and not a lot of money. Thanks for the review.

I never overlook a LGC; one of my nc favorites. I always keep some Wavells around in both natural and maduro.

Nice review. LGC was one of my favorite sticks starting out. I still try to keep some corona gordas (M) around.

Ah yes, LGC makes some great sticks. I prefer the Maduro line. Solid construction and great taste in the whole line. Nice ash!
