As for pricing, Xikar Executive II beats the Defi. As you know, I have a preference of side squeeze. Cheers! Thanks! I'll get that one too, since I also like side squeeze lighters! Cheers too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted November 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2019 La Gloria Cubana Serie D No.5 2017 - Edición Regional España LAT Dic 2017 (Thanks @Luca) When a Habanos distributor orders a run of 50000 boxes of a Regional release it seems to me to indicate a brazen confidence in their market and their product. Welcome to the La Gloria Cubana Serie D No.5! Make your product a cigar on the smaller size in length, yet still large in ring gauge and you're guaranteed to succeed, right? If I appear somewhat cynical, it doesn't belie the fact that this new(ish) Regional Edition release out of Spain is a quality cigar. I would like to pause the review here to acknowledge my dear pal, @Luca in gifting this to me. There have been a number of reviews (both video and text) on-line of this cigar, and indeed a number of you have sampled it already, so it wouldn't surprise you to say that this was like smoking a chocolate fudge stick crossed with some age on it. Oh, by the way, did I indicate that I had some burn/construction issues with it too? No? Yes, the flavours were chocolate, earth, wood and leather with a huge hit of baking spice in the first half which was replaced with some aged floral notes in the back half. In between, the cigar needed re-lights and the wrapper tore around the end of the second third, so I had to pitch this into the last third. Incidentally, @Luca did likewise (and had the same burn issues). At least the aged, mellow fudge-like texture to this cigar was nice...yeah, real nice! Look, it's La Gloria Cubana and well may you say that I might be a little precious about it, after all, there is only one regular production vitola left in the marca (the La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.4) and that has barely been seen in the last 12 months or so. Did the leaf go into this release possibly? In a possible win-win scenario perhaps it would have been better for the Spanish (and worldwide) market to get 5000 boxes of a La Gloria Cubana Tainos or Medaille d'Or No.2 and still have leaf left over for the regular LGC 4? Heck, you could even consult the people behind the recent El Rey del Mundo Tainos release for Taiwan or the Punch 8-9-8 release for the Asia-Pacific markets. I'd bet they'd tell you it would be a no-brainer! 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bbguardsp Posted November 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2019 Huge shoutout to @NSXCIGAR for recommending 2019 La Fuerza. The size wouldn't stand out in flavors like Principe and La Punta for me in the past. Never had a better La Fuerza than this one from a recent HQ sixer. 92+ 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, flavors are consistent with a darker wrapper too. Wood, leather, pepper. Not much cream at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
