La Gloria Cubana Serie N - Generoso 5 3/4 X 49

[MadMonk]

First off, I apologize for no pictures, as I smoked this cigar in traffic.

I received this, in a Sampler Pack of General's new releases, from an associate, for Christmas.

The cigar is very dark with several prominent veins, and a die cut piece of contrasting tobacco formed to the letter "N" glued onto the stick.

The label is nice and has an "N" superimposed with the famous LGC lady.

Prelight was nothing, really.

Cigar lit easily. Flavors were medium and not too bad. Basic tobacco with a slight sweetness. Nothing really offensive, but nothing exciting either.

The cigar did deliver lots of smoke, but the aroma is possibly the worst I have ever experienced off a cigar. Just a potent dirty ashtray, wet ashes smell..

This really made it very difficult to smoke this cigar. I could have dealt with the flavors, as they were acceptable, albiet nothing intrigueing.

The label was the only thing I liked about this cigar.

I would try one of these again, but doubt I would pay for it, so it won't be in the near future.

Just picked up two of these the other day to give a try. I'll probably smoke one in the next week or two. The owner of the B&M I frequent said these were selling well but he had not given them a try. I'll be interested to smell them now.

Good review Dan... Can't say I have ever liked too many LGC.

Thanks for taking one for the team Dan, think I'm gonna pass on chasing this one down.
