Popular Post NSXCIGAR Posted August 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2022 A classic. They do need time and the more, the better. I don't think they should be touched until at least 3 years. Can age indefinitely. Fruity, floral, earthy and spicy. Remarkable complexity and richness for it's small RG. Construction issues and poor burning are the only things that can make this cigar a less than great experience as long as it is smoked slowly. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnS Posted August 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2022 I concur with @NSXCIGAR as I would have added much the same. The LGC4 benefits from time down and can be quite complex. Definitely smoke it slowly. It's one of those Habanos cigars where, depending on the balance of the cigar, it can be either savoury or sweet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCCubano Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 The OSU 02s were the best Ive had. Perfect construction on every stick. Wish I still had half a dozen or so left as they had some major legs for the long haul. All other boxes I have purchased since were very good but nowhere near the level of those 02s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenpimp Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 These were among my very favorite "little" cigars back in the day. It seemed like hardly anyone smoked them 10-15 years ago, and they sat on the shelves and were quite cheap. Not for me, I went through a ton of boxes until they were, sadly, just impossible for me to find. I found them very rich and complex with age, and more than a bit of power. Floral and spicy with some earthy funk. Just a very enjoyable, unique cigar and flavor profile meant to be smoked slowly. Pungent smoke. Agree with the OSU 02 comment, those boxes were amazing and like KC said, every one was close to perfect. I still have a few left and can't bring myself to smoke them. Miss these little killers. The whole MDO medaille d'or line is among my very favorite. I just smoked a #3 this week from my singles drawer and took some notes, I'll put up a review. Miss them all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozerhead Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I find them to be one of the most flavorful cigars I've ever smoked. Not overpowering but incredibly rich and smoothe. Such amazing flavor from such a thin gauged cigar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connoisseur Kim Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Like Monte 1 and CCE, it is one of my fav CCs of all time. It's gentle and yet flavoursome with complexity and creamy floral bomb; it gets better and better as time goes by too. I wish I have more boxes of LGC MdO 4 in my collection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRidgeFly Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I’ve only smoked two, really enjoyed them. Have a single one remaining and it will probably sit here a long while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedV3 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Love em ! Sadly as there was talk about a discontinuation a while back I put in an order for two boxes . I was rolled by that online vendor which I had used before . It was as about the same time @joeypots was also if I recall correctly. He went AWOL. Luckily I'm sitting on two boxes which also happens to be my wife's favorite smoke along w the beloved my hupc that I WAS able to stock up on . 🤗 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frinkiac7 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Amazing cigar. One of the best IMO. I am hoarding my last partial box. Will they ever reappear?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverstix Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I really enjoy them!! I have a hard time bringing myself to smoke them more than a couple times a year. Has to be a nice 60 degree weekend morning when I can sit outside and enjoy it peacefully. Need to treat this cigar right. I am halfway through a 14 box and then I have a full 17 and a full 18 both MSU. Can’t decide if I should dip into the 17s yet or keep sipping the 14 box a couple times a year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 This is either very good news or very bad news but I don't know if anyone else noticed the new price list in Cuba has MdO4 unchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mprach024 Posted August 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2022 Bloody awful cigars….woody, burnt paper, with floral diapers. When they do appear on 24:24, you should avoid. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDB Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Unique profile. The only cigar where I find fatty, meaty notes. Think crispy pancetta. And a great vitola. So overall, pretty wonderful. There is a big construction issue though. Probably 1/3-1/2 of the ones I’ve tried have been tight or have a problematic burn. I’d still buy if I could, and take the risk.

BeerPimp Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I didn't get into CC's until 2018 so there are several I have missed trying or have not had a chance to try. This was one here I tried to a number of times on 24:24 but never was successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElReyDel757 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I love them. Agree with the tasting notes from all, but am I the only one who gets a prune taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99call Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I find these cigars really pair well this that point at the end of a great dinner, when you might have a combination of a wide range of things all happening at the same time on the table. I.e. desserts, nuts, coffee, sherries, They maybe delicate in size, but are robust in their flavour, and with a really long rich opulent finish. In a strange way to me that are like a dessert version of Partagas connie 3. They both have he same heft and complexity, but once is savoury, and one is sweet.

Fugu Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Yes! Apart from my beloved Minutos, probably the cigar I am stocked most with (only second to the No. 2). ‘nough said. I don’t concur with those who say they’d need time. They mature marvellously, true, but they can likewise be a treat enjoyed young. Different cigar, different experience. Never incurred construction issues to speak of. There’s way more construction crap in the realm of rg 50plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
