"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.

"Excellent maduro!"
Having just recently become fond of the Toro size, I was naturally looking for some good examples of this, especially in a maduro. This particular cigar was a good choice and made for a rather pleasurable time. Nicely flavorful and with a pleasant heft and feel.

"Not for me"
I've smoked 4 so far and only one has had a fairly even burn. The taste was fair, a bit harsh toward the end. Ash is a bit flakey and not dense like an RP. This one is not for me.

"Get some!!"
FANTASTIC!! Don't smoke this one on an empty stomach. Give yourself plenty of time and attention to enjoy it. Nuff said.

"Love the large ring gage"
I have been smoking cigars since I was 16 and now im 54. I have always liked the larger ring gage and Maduro wrapper but sometimes they are hard to find. The La Gloria Cubana Serie R #6 is the best I have found. The construction and color are consistent, strength is full-bodied and full-flavored. The pricing is good for the quantity 24count per box instead of 20count in most other brands.

"Quality Problems"
I have been smoking La Gloria Cubana for several years, I really enjoy the taste and strength but they quality has become very inconsistent over the past year. The burn is very bad on some #6's and ok on others out of the same box.

"Wonderful Cigar"
This is truly a great cigar...the length, ring size, construction and taste. I tried some after reading the reviews and now have a humidor stocked full. I prefer the maduro over the other. Much better flavor. The smoke is thick and aromatic. This has become my every evening smoke and if I miss an evening, then the next morning with my coffee and walking the dog. I've tried many others but will stick with this one!! Even prefer it over my other favorite, Ashton Cabinet #7.

"This bad-boy kicked my butt!"
This is simply a BEAIUTIFUL cigar! Black as the Ace of Spades and an absolute work of art. Fantastic taste but somewhat difficult to keep lit. The burn wasn't as even as I would have liked. About half way down it really KICKED IN....this is a real MAN's CIGAR! I smoke many stronger sticks and this bad boy finally kick my butt. BUT, it was a great smoke! Recommended for anyone who is "experienced"!
