La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 4 Natural

[tuxpuff]

Size – 4 7/8 x 52
Shape – Robusto
Wrapper – Ecuador
Filler – Dominican Republic, Nicaragua
Binder – Nicaragua

Very solid roll. A couple of medium sized veins. Slightly splotchy wrapper. Strong tobacco aroma. This one has been sitting in the humidor for about 2 years.

First third
Tons of smoke on the draw. Medium in body with a slightly dry cedar and leather flavor. Short aftertaste primarily of tobacco flavors. Turns smooth and creamy with the same flavors of cedar and leather.

Second third
Amazing solid ash with a great burn and draw. Flavors staying consistent with slightly increasing aftertaste of clean tobacco. Smooth nose exhale.

Last third
Effortless band removal. Full in strength with flavors of tobacco, leather, and hints of spice. Smooth buttery aftertaste.

Conclusion
I enjoyed this cigar. The dry’ish start is complimented with a buttery smooth finish of pleasant flavors. Great price point on these smokes. Recommended.

I have definitely enjoyed the ones I have had... the naturals more so than the maduros though.

I have only had the Maduros and liked them. I dont smoke that many maduros any more (some). I will have to give the natural a try.

Nice review on one of the better cheap sticks

[yes please]

My favorite in this line is the #7 maduro. It never disappoints and continues to be one of the best smokes I have had. I have tried the #5 natural, #6maduro, #7maduro
