Quick Smoke: LGC Reserva Figurados Felicias Maduro
2 Oct 2010
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
This small figurado (4.6 x 49) from La Gloria Cubana packs a lot of flavor into a short format. Although starting with an unpleasant ammonia-like taste, the Connecticut broadleaf-wrapped blend quickly transitions into flavors of dry cocoa and pepper spice. And the combustion qualities are a pleasure to observe as they unfold. This is an easy recommendation for only $4-6 apiece.
Verdict = Buy.

A definite go-to cheap smoke for me too. I am always stunned by the full-bodied cedar notes myself.
