Cigar news : Let’s be direct. As much as I enjoy La Gloria Cubana Cigars , sometimes a cigar may not meet your expectations.
I received this new blend from General Cigar for review. Here are the basic facts.
1. Mexican San Andres wrapper, with a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan and Dominican filler.
2. SRP range is $7.99 to $8.99 according to size.
3. The cigar started out with promise with a big hit of black spice, nuts and earth.
4. We started to have problems with the construction about 1/3 into the smoke.
5. Several relights and the fight was on. The draw was dreadful , which signaled the cigar and I were not on the same wavelength.
6. I wanted to give the smoke a chance but it was not to be.
7. I buried the cigar in the proper receptacle and said goodbye.
8. Fortunately I do have several other of the Serie S line and will give it a second chance down the line.
No rating for the present.
Keep smoking.
