Quick Smoke: La Gloria Cubana Reserva Figurados Felicias Maduro
16 Aug 2009
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
This little smoke (4.62 x 49) is a handsomely constructed figuardo featuring an oily, rich maduro wrapper. It’s only one of two maduros in the Reserva Figuardos LGC line. The smoke opens with some raisin flavors before settling into a complex medium-bodied profile with oak, toast, leather, and some piney sweetness. Equally impressive is the construction which, in addition to a straight burn and managable draw, requires only one ashing the entire smoke.
Verdict = Buy.
