LGC Serie R Limitada 2005 Review

[volfan]

This is my third review in a while so be patient.

Cigar: LGC Serie R Limitada 2005 Natural
7.75 x 62, Belicoso.
Binder:Nicaragua/Dominican
Filler:Nicaragua/Dominican
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
Construction: Near Perfect
Price: Gifted by Vic the owner of LJ's
Drink: Mojito
Place smoked: In the mountains of East Tennessee (home) 80 degrees and sunny
Cut: Palio
Light: very easy and GREAT aroma
Burn: perfect
Ash: White/Light gray, held together to about an inch but was flaky
Draw: very good
Finish: faint spice, creamyand toasty
Flavor: Mild-Medium
Strength: Medium
Performance: Starts out mild with some toasty notes and gets creamy with some spice throughout by the end of the first third. Maintains that toasty creaminess the rest of the way with the muted spice but the flavor and strength do pick up better than the way it began.
Smoking Time: 2hr, 10min

Comments: I have been trying to pare down my NC stash lately and this cigar was the latest victim. It was a great smoke but not flavorful enough to warrant me ever buying them. All in all a pretty good cigar but did not live up to the hype. This was the largest cigar I have ever smoked and that could have led to the mild flavor to start out.

That's a pretty big cigar

Great review! I haven't had any LGC but they've been on my list for quite some time when I get the funds to purchase a 5er or a sampler.

Great review.
Always wanted to try one of these, but they're never in stock.

Great review Scottie! I really like the LGC but in the maduro, they have more flavor to them.
