Quick Smoke: La Gloria Cubana Trunk Show Liga JD-05

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.”

This large torpedo from the original 2013 La Gloria Trunk Show release was the blend created primarily by Jhonys Diaz (hence “JD”). The entire line uses homogenized tobacco for the bands, in this case dye-cut with the La Gloria logo. The cigar has an aged Sumatra wrapper around undisclosed binder and filler and features lots of spice (baking spices, cinnamon, and cayenne) layered over a core of cedar and cream. It’s an enjoyable medium- to full-bodied cigar.

Verdict = Buy.
