Birthday cigar #2! I smoked this one on the boat with friends. One of my friends gave me 3 La Gloria Cubana Serie R's (awesome guy that he is) and I pulled one out of the gift wrapped box, straight cut it and gave it a pre puff draw. The first thing I noticed was how well it was made and how nice and open the draw was. Perfect. And the wrapper smelled fantastic. I lit it up and was greeted with tons of mellow, smooth tasting smoke.
I started off pairing this cigar with a Bud Light and then switched to Coke about 1/2 way through. I was getting enough of a buzz from the stoggie.
I had some burn issues that I had to correct a few times but I am certain that this was from the wind caused from motoring around in the boat. Other than that, this cigar was perfect. Great taste, fairly short finish, nice kick.
I can't wait to smoke the other 2.
From Tinderbox.com:
Packed in dark mahogany, cabinet-style boxes, La Gloria Cubana Serie R cigars deliver their extra-bold bouquet as soon as the box is opened. Their full-bodied flavor comes from a special blend of long Dominican and Nicaraguan filler, superb Nicaraguan binder and a wonderfully aged and extra flavorful Ecuadorian wrapper. The result is a rich, full-flavored smoke unmatched by any other cigar. Designed for seasoned cigar lovers looking for the ultimate in bold flavor, Serie R cigars come in four full-bodied sizes, each one guaranteed to please even the most discerning seeker of rich, robust cigars.
