La Gloria Cubana

After smoking some full flavored cigars, it was time to go a little lighter, so I grabbed a La Gloria Cubana.

The construction of this cigar was even, but felt a little loose. Usually I like a very tight feel. A solid feel. The wrapper was nice and soft. Didn't feel weak though. This is always a good thing. Nothing worse than a weak wrapper and a cigar coming apart on you.

This cigar, with its Natural wrapper and tobacco, lit like a dream. The flavor was creamy with a hint of cedar. There was another wood flavor as well, but I could not put my finger on it. It didn't matter though. This was a strong flavor for such a mild to medium smoke. The aftertaste and finish leave you with a nice cedar flavor.

The burn on this cigar was consistent and even. Not one flaw in that. I even took it outside to test how it held up (it was a very windy day) and nothing changed. The draw had a slight firmness to it, but not too much.

The price is good as well. Granted, this smoke was only about 30 minutes, but a good 30 minutes. The size I had was close to a petite corona and cost $9.00. This is a good by.

Final Grade: A
