Seems plausible. I did enjoy it, thank you. I was reading the notes on description somewhere and it was supposed to be fruity and sweet but I got More nuts and cream with a slight hit of white pepper every now and then. Burn and draw spot on and smoked for about 80 minutes. Very pleasant thanks again to both of you.

I got a little honey out of it but definitely the pepper and nuts.  I’d like to give the Maduro Lancero a shot.   I wasn’t trying to get credit for the stick...just letting you know it’s origin!

Lol. The Maduro sounds good as well. Smoke output was immense and smooth.

I was unaware they released a second batch of the Mag56.  This one is from the first box I bought here from Rob at their initial release. They were excellent then and they are excellent now. 

Ahh...the EL band not being on there fooled me. They are releasing these in a jar for the travel retail selection so I figured you must have grabbed a jar.

Morning C&C Time @RaskolPLMC LGR OCT 18 24:24. First one with extra firm draw and won’t be the last on this RG, but the smoke produced is more than adequate. These have been delicious skinnies. Cheers

La Gloria Cubana Taínos LRE Dic 2009

It was my very great pleasure to share this much-missed Churchill-sized vitola with some dear friends, Trevor Leask and Alexander Groom, who together represent the reason we have Cuban Cigar Website as we have it today. What a delightful time it was to reminisce over current Habanos cigar culture and the changes to Cuban Cigar Website over the years.

This cigar, at ten years of age, smoked wonderfully well. The ash-length was consistent, as were the rings (or ridges in the ash). There was a slight coning off every ash, which for me, is a sign of proper rolling. In terms of flavour, La Gloria Cubana can be complex when young. When older I've found that these LGC Tainos aged varieties meld into a distinctive fruitcake flavour. Previously, I've found some nut, floral notes and cream in these too, but today's cigar from the box had only a hint of cream and was more abundant in leather.

In any case, all three of us enjoyed our Churchill-sized cigars immensely. After all, where else can you lay claim to quality fruitcake in a cigar this size?

2015 QDO corona. I had smoked one of the new blend and unite enjoyed it, so wanted to see what the old one was all about. Honestly a bit disappointed, first third was pretty flavorless. Second two were good but nothing very exciting, and a soft spot contributed to a wonky burn. Based on this example alone I honestly wouldn’t purchase more of these, but I have a few more, so who knows.

My first Famosos starting nicely. Was a backup for my punch punch b/c I feared it would be plugged and after cutting has no air flow so was good I had the back up.

'17 Montecristo No.4, always a winner. Dristling but didn't lessen the experience, just had to move to the side of the house.

@lovethehaze I agree. Not sure what the hype is with the 1926s. More money less bang.

I’m just the opposite of you.  Love that natural wrapper on the 26’s.   Fortunately there’s something for everyone.

Funny...I like all the Padron 64/26 and their anniversary cousins. I can hardly tell the difference between them. They all seem to have a woody/savory consistency that I don't reach for often but when I do I am satisfied.

Got a 10 pack of these and wow. I'd have to say as young as it is very tasty.

What a great cigar. Have a nice weekend everyone!

The anniversary cousins are truly good cigars.  I smoke them infrequently as well but enjoy them when I do.  Agree completely.

Last night - the Rat and the Padron.  Tonight, the La Fuerza.  La Fuerza wins hands down. I couldn’t have been more disappointed in the Rat.  I think the Lounge humidor had the RH cranked up because it smoked like a wet rat...middle third showed promise but fizzled quickly.  The Padron was ok and obviously stored in the same humidity leading me to conclude the Rat just wasn’t that great.  I’d be hard pressed to spend $40 again on that disappointment.

Brothers and Sisters of the Leaf!  I have a new addition to my arsenal!  This Peter James case is so luxurious to feel and use!  Thank you brother Nick for your insight and help in obtaining an impossible to get item!  Thanks Nick for this great 2017 handroll.  Its superb!

Back to the lounge for a second round!  This time I'm going with the Punch Punch (TOS Sep 15) Thanks again Nick for the fine fine sticks to break this case in with!  I'm loving it!
