Quick Smoke: La Gloria Cubana Serie N JSB

28 Dec 2013

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.”

One of the interesting things about cigar smoking is the ability to return to a smoke and see if your opinion has changed over time. I did a Quick Smoke on La Gloria Cubana Serie N JSB about three years ago, not long after my colleague’s full review. Recently, I smoked a couple I’d had in my humidor for who knows how long. Interestingly, my view of this Ecuadoran Sumatra-wrapped smoke hasn’t changed. It’s a dark, meaty smoke with a bitter finish. This La Gloria Cubana is still not for me.

Verdict = Sell.

    Had one yesterday. Initial thoughts were that it would be too tight to draw. Stayed lit and is the longest burning smoke I have ever had. Two hours. Wow. Flavors reminded me of being a kid on my Dad's boat and smelling teak wood. I caught a note of leather and raisin.

    Saying it was bold would be an understatement.
