Well I was playing around with my stocks in the backroom of one of my tobacco shops today and a regular customer walked in to buy a bunch of premium cigars. He happened to drop one and it tore the wrapper. OK bad thing, its an expensive cigar, but he had a whole handful of them, plus some other expensive cigars, and he is a regular so we let it slide. I figured it would give me a chance to try one . . . and I just did that!
NICE CIGAR. We sell the La Gloria Cubana "Serie R #7" cigars for $9.49 each. (blame taxes for the high prices)
I was expecting a very robust full bodied cigar. This was milder than I expected, but not too mild. I'd rate still rate it a "full bodied" cigar. Best smoked out on the golf course or somewhere where you have plenty of oxygen because this is a BIG HONKIN cigar. 7" long and a huge 58 ring gauge. I did not have an hour + to smoke this whole thing, I'd bet it could give you a hell of a nicotine buzz if you smoked one and were not an experienced cigar smoker.
La Gloria Cubana Serie R #7 cigars emit their extra-bold bouquet from the moment you open the box. The full-bodied flavor comes from a special blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos and a fully-aged, extra flavorful Ecuadorian wrapper. The result is a rich, full-flavored smoke that is not overwhelming, at least not when smoked outside. Inside it would probably cause the smoke alarms to go off, raise the ire of your better half, and generally make you dizzy for 2 days.
Still, this is a nice smoke. I wished I had a bench outside to sit and relax (note to self . . . buy a park bench!).
I snagged the photo off the internet.
