L.G.C. Artesanos Retro Especiale

Vulchor

jj20030

La Gloria Cubana Artesanos Retro Especiales cigars was 8 years in the making. Team La Gloria cross-bred a Connecticut seed and grew it in Honduras. Despite the wrapper's golden patina, the blend is brash in its full flavor, engaging the entire palate. The double binder of bold Nicaraguan & Mexican leaf is further enhanced by Nicaraguan & Dominican ligero and an additional peppering of proprietary Nicaraguan and Dominican leaf. ....,, sound good and are priced good too

I got a couple in the Best of Show Sampler here.. I am looking forward to this one, especially now that we got the thumbs up frm Vulchor, as he calls 'em like he smokes 'em.

I got one as a free sample. I wasn't expecting much. I ended up liking it more then the cigars I ordered. Unfortunately for me it is a bit price prohibitive. But overall I was very pleased, considering I am quite picky.

Tim threw one in with a recent order. I also found it a tad dry. The oils finally built up and the spice emmerged. As usual mike gannini has good flavors in his sticks.

dry, as if it lacked moisture or enough oil in the leaves. Like it was exposed at the foot. Sometimes I 'll lite a cigar that just isn't bunched enough at the foot, or has lost some tobacco at the foot. This in itself (increased oxygen) causes the stick to burn a little fast and hot. Not until you get into it do the oils, moisture and tobacco even out. On this particular stick, it seemed the wrapper was not very oily or was dry at the base.

I've tasted the desiccant effect in some ISOMs.

So I did a trade with a brother and got a handful of these ........ I have to say I loved every LGC I have had to date and was very disappointed by this stick ....... It lacked flavor and as previously stated there was a dryness to it ...... Burn and construction were fine and on par with any LGC I've had ..... I really guess that for a stick 8 years in the making it almost felt more rushed and thrown together . I have two more and will burry them in the humi for another go.

I had one ROTT when they first came out all I got was a huge cedar bomb, but they have aged nicely
