Zacapa Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi All, I've never smoked a LGC cigar before and am wondering how others would describe the flavours and character of this marca? particularly the MdO no2. Also are the LCDH and RE's substantially different to the standard character - in particular I was looking at the inmensos Thanks in advance for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikesupremedunk Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I only got to try a MdO 1 from 02 and it's definitely in the top 3 best cigars I've smoked so far. From what I can remember, it started off with delicate hints of grass and honey and it just kept building up until the second half where the flavors just opened up. Grassy, honey, floral flavors thoroughout the cigar with that "twang". Of course, that was a 10 year old MdO 1. I'm sure a recent MdO 2 and the RE's won't be the same but I would imagine the flavor profiles are similar. Thanks for reminding me to grab a box next chance I get...

Duxnutz Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 How about the MdO #4? Can anyone elaborate on that vs the #2? I just looked up the size and its quite slight in girth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdryder Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have only smoked one #2 from my box but remember lots of floral note & it was very nice but very young. I will have to revisit them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 How about the MdO #4? Can anyone elaborate on that vs the #2? I just looked up the size and its quite slight in girth. The #4 is the spiciest of the line. Kind of a Partagas with a floral/fruity element… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophidion Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Mdo no 2 tastes like buttered popcorn to me (fresh or aged). Wes has verified this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Floral and sweet for me. The MdOs take concentration to smoke so as to not overheat them. The Inmensos follows the LGC profile and is easy to smoke - but also the most expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk05 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 LGCs very perfumy, especially as you go thinner and older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac77 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The LGC Marca is close to the top of my list of favorites. and out of the LGC Line I would have to go with the following top 3 in order of preference: Md'O #1 Md'O#2 Tainos I find that contrary to popular opinion the LGC line is more complex than most give it credit for. Most of their vitola's are medium/light bodied with floral/woodsy flavours throughout with varying levels of of honey and butter depending on the vitola. The Md"or #1's offer these notes up and more with some earthy mushroom flavours coming through for most of them that I have smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewB Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Smoked a #2 recently which had a couple of years on it. Smoked very well with a sweet flavour throughout but ended with a mild damp earthy taste. Had no standout moment but still a very enjoyable easy smoke. Reading other comments, it sounds like this line requires more than just a couple of years to mature. At the end of the day, all cigars are worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacapa Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Mmmm sounds delicious. I was already thinking of getting a box but now i definitely will. I wonder if I'll find buttered popcorn!! I'm thinking the no 2, because the no 4 sounds a bit too skinny for me. Do people have draw problems with the no 4s? It amazes me that such a skinny cigar could be rolled well consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amazes me that such a skinny cigar could be rolled well consistently You won't find "buttered pop corn" in the No. 3 and No.4. And they are generally perfectly rolled, I've smoked several boxes of each and I can't remember a single bad draw. But all the Tainos i've smoked had a tight draw… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfenst Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Would LOVE TO BUY boxes of #1 and #3 if I could find them reasonably priced. Emailed Di and she replied she doesn't have any. FOH and my other regular sources haven't had them for ages. Very surprised when the #4 popped up last LFTH.Not willing to pay 2-3x standard pricing from the outrageous vendors who are terribly overpriced on everything-- Which is probably why they still have them...

PigFish Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm guessing it's the reason for the Sabrosos still being available around europe too. I have had very bad luck with this cigar as well. Not plugged, just tasteless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacapa Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 So: Sabrosos Any others tried the inmensos? How was construction? If the inmensos is true to the marca flavours as suggested, I like the idea of having a bigger smoke to choose from alongside the MdO2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danston Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Has anyone tried the gloriosod, I'm gonna fire one up if Liverpool beat united today, he'll ill probably do the same if we lose, haven't had a smoke in a week so hoping for good things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got one box and smoked 2 already. Less floral but bore sweet. Construction is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good riddance anyway; I've never had one but all the veterans I spoke to told me that the Sabroso was by far the weakest LGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think LCG was ever even imported into the UK in modern times, I've certainly only ever seen them here in cigar auctions when the stock has been brought by someone from Europe. They only added QDO to the H&F catalogue last year! Not enough shiny bands you see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Ive only had the inmensos and it was too mild for my taste.FloraI, fruit, and tea. I have a box of the no.4 that I picked up fron LFTH. Looking forward to trying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've discussed LGC before with a few others. My best explanation on the tastes/sensations? It's kind of like sitting in the backyard of a nice home with a nice giant flower garden and some leafy giant green trees, and a freshly cut lawn, sitting back and relaxing on a stone deck/sitting-area in the shade, a nice spring day, fairly warm and sunny with a light breeze, with the aromas of the freshly cut lawn and the herb garden along the fence being carried on the breeze, and enjoying a warm green tea with light milk and honey.
