Tainos

[spicycorona]

I don't know why but the LGC Tainos appealed to me early on in my CC journey. Never got to get a hand on one. Can someone give me a run down on the flavor profile? How are they holding up to age?

Maybe a weird question because I've never had either marca, how do they compare to the ERDM Tainos?

I remember light bodied, cream and a hint of lemon. Lovely summer smoke! 

Got a single left somewhere in the humidor. Then I'm out for good...

Here is my review 

 

La Gloria Cubana Tainos - 10 ct Box OSU ES00. 

The Ashes

Size: Julieta No.2 (47 * 178)

Smoking time: 2:00 hours

Construction and burn were good; relatively straight burn

 

This is a medium strength cigar.

 

Taste starts light/medium develops to medium at the end. 

Creamy cappuchino and caramel with some floral and hazelnut that comes through at the retrohale. 

During smoking you can feel the strength slowly increasing.

A good Churchill cigar. To me on a scale in-between the Tainos of ERdM and fuller taste of the Monte No.2

 

Verdict: 8.75/10

 

A lovely Julieta No.2. Nutty, creamy cappuccino with some cedar and floral accents. 

Typical taste for the old style La Gloria Cubana line

Avoid those from 2001, they were ultra mild without any flavours…

Have one EMS box of LGC Taino's that I am waiting for the right trade down the road.  Great first cigar of the day cigar.  Be curious to smoke one as it has been years, but don't want to break up the box just yet.  I really like other boxes of this I had.  All of sudden they were gone and that's it.
