La Gloria Cubana Serie R #4
"Top 5 all time!"
This is a great full bodied smoke. Definitely in my all time top 5. I'm a full bodied fan all the way and this one does not dissapoint. It has a very unique underlying sweetness to it as well. You absolutely cannot miss on this one.

"When good, they're very good"
The construction of these cigars is usually OK, but there is such variation from cigar to cigar, that I wonder if new rollers aren't trained on this line. That said, there is no other cigar that delivers so well on draw and taste. Over the 15 years I've been smoking cigars, this is the cigar that I return to over and over again.

"Quality has gone down!!!"
They were once the best full bodied cigar around! Less than half of each box is even smokable! Some are rolled so tight that they can never be smoked and the rest are like trying to smoke a tube. They are very inconsistent, lumpy bumpy misshapen and very disapointing. I have smoke thousands of these over the years and know what I'am talking about. The wrappers offten have holes and patches and some can destroy a cutter with the "sticks" rolled within! Don't waist your money!!!
2nd rate 2nds at best.
The filler and binder are of the lowest quality and poorly aged tobacco to boot!!

"Great Expectations..."
An impressive cigar - beautiful to look at, wonderful pre-light aroma, excellent construction. I lit up and was waiting for that something special...kinda didn't happen. It was smooth but bland - not quite the sparkle I expected. The burn and draw were great otherwise. At least I can say I tried.

"Cuban not grown in Cuba"
The best Cuban line being not grown in Cuba. Excellent cigar. This is a cigar you just cannot go wrong with.

"Simply the best maduro there is"
This is a must have cigar for any maduro lover. By far the cigar is first rate in all aspects.

"Delicious!!!"
This may end up being one of my favorite cigars.
Dont let the initial slightly tight draw and lack of smoke volume discourage you
The cigar is so packed full of tobacco it takes about 2 or 3 minutes to warm up; after which the tobacco loosens up creating a very nice draw and due to the amount of dense tobacco delivers a very large volume of creamy smoke. I suggest using a guillotine cutter for more drawing surface as opposed to a punch to ensure the dense tobacco delivers an easy draw.
I consider cigars to have primarily one of two flavor bases; spice & pepper or leather & chocolate
this one is for leather & chocolate lovers.
This cigar will please those who want a hell of a lot of full rich flavor without being overwhelmed by strength; dont get me wrong
this is not a morning smoke right out of bed; you should have a meal before indulging.
I usually smoke any stick down to the ¾ mark to avoid the last bit taking on harsh qualities.
I did not have to consider that with this cigar; it remained consistent down to the very nub; the only change was more flavor!
I paired it with a Belgian beer and could tell it would do well with any amber or dark beer, coffee, cola or tea.
This was my first time trying this cigar; I will try another next week and if it is consistent I will order a box.

"The best ever"
I have had LGC before where they were so bold as to taste like you were sucking on tar. The Serie #7 (& #6) naturals are without a doubt the best cigars I have ever had (and I have sampled hundreds), box after box the are well constructed to give a smooth, creamy, coffee and cocoa smoke. The aroma that hits you once the box is opened is "to die for." The only problem I have ever had has been uneven burn.
