From the Vault: I’ve been pulling a lot of old cigars out from the bottom if the humi-trunk, and this old LGC was grabbed…
The Miami-made La Gloria Cubanas were one of the most popular cigars around during the Cigar Boom, but now after being bought by General Cigar, Ernesto Perez-Carillo has not been making the same cigars as he once did and are now being made in the El Credito factory in the Dominican Republic.
The cigar has a nice looking brown wrapper, but it is a little mottled and has soft and hard spots as I gently squeeze it.
This is not that spicy of a cigar, mostly medium in strength. I taste grassy notes, which is a bit surprising, muddled in with leather notes as well.
The further I smoke the more I notice a subtle strength that I was not prepared for after smoking the mild first half. But other than that, it is a real one-dimensional smoke that gets a bit old in the end.
