La Gloria Cubana Tainos - OSU ES00 Juan Lopez Review Comp 2016

[RijkdeGooier]

I think this cigar was still missing?

La Gloria Cubana Tainos - 10 ct Box OSU ES00. 

The Ashes

Size: Julieta No.2 (47 * 178)

Smoking time: 2:00

Location: Primera The Saloon

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

Thanks for the review...and what an incredible looking cigar!  Never tried a Tainos, LGC or ERDM.

Thanks for the review.  I remember those once upon a time.  Wish I had kept some but they were so good I drained the box!

I greatly appreciated this review as I may never have this fabled cigar. Thank you for taking the time to write it!

You are all very kind. In truth this is a good cigar, but the ERdM Tainos are superior in my opinion. Did we have the ERdM review comp 2016 yet?

[Philc2001]

Thanks for the review. I haven't tried the LGC tainos, but did split a box of ERDM tainos back in 2002 or 2003. I'm rationing the remaining 2 ERDM tainos, saving them for a special occasion.

Damn I miss this cigar.  Not the worst decision by Habanos, but in the top fricken 10.
