VDRC: LGC Mn4 ETP DIC 15

[Luca]

Hi FoH!

The cigar I am reviewing right now is the La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'or no. 4 - ETP DIC 15.

Smoking great as always. The start was mild with some light nutty notes. The middle now has picked up and I am getting some pleasant fruit flavours. Almost like dried fruit. Very nice. Strength is the same throughout - mild. A mild and enjoyable smoke. I remember smoking these recently with @Fuzz, @JohnS, and @IanMcLean68 and they loved it.

Pairing this with some Camus Borderies XO Cognac.

I picked this cigar for Valentine's day because:

1. I am alone and have time to smoke due to Carly being away for a 6 month deployment.

2. This cigar is the closest resemblance to Carlys favourite cigar (that I am not allowed to smoke because they're strictly hers) - the Davidoff Long Panatela.

Story:

One night I decided to take Carly out to the Sheraton on the Park in Sydney. We had a great dinner and decided to head to the balcony so I could have a cigar.

Sat down. Ordered some cocktails. I light up. The night was great. Not too warm not too cold. Great company. Everything was perfect.

Suddenly two....how you say....? "Bimbos" sat right next to us...despite the whole balcony being nearly empty.

They light up some cigarettes (which was fine - we didn't care). As I was enjoying my cigar with my partner Carly we noticed that these two bimbos were not very happy with the smell of my smoke. They started deliberately making comments out loud (so we could hear) such as:

B1: "Oh myyy gawwwddd that smells disgusting."

B2: "Ew that absolutely stinks!"

Despite having been smoking there for about 40 minutes....I started to prepare to move further away. Carly then gave me this cheeky look and said: "Give me your cigar."

Immediately she made 1...2...3...4...and 5 huge puffs! And blew the smoke towards them!

Immediately the two bimbos reacted. It was as if they were sprayed with Moretien  (bug spray).

B1: "Oh oh mai gawd *exaggerated coughing*"

B2: "This is disgusting *cough cough*. Ahhh!"

Before I knew it. They had put their cigarettes out and had left the premises...

Carly turns to me with a smile whilst holding my cigar. She chuckles and hands me back my smoke.

"I love you" I said whilst laughing.

That was when the penny dropped. I knew she was the one haha.

Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a great Valentine's day!

Thanks

Great story and good for you! Find it very odd that someone smoking cigarettes would even say something. From my experience,  a Lot of people who don't even smoke enjoy the smell of a cigar. Oh well!

I’ve had many bartenders tell me i couldn’t light up... with people smoking their chemical ridden cigarettes all around.

 

When i was working in Allentown, PA for months, there was a cigar shop that had signs saying cigarette smokers were not allowed in the lounge whatsoever. They got ALL my business while I was working and living there!!

It is one of my favourite cigars as well! I also like Panetelas too!

Nice story Luca! I can’t stand people like that, you can smoke a cigarette but the smell of a cigar makes you cough?

those cigars look good, never had one yet, take care brother!

Yep! Carly doesn't understand either! 

Make sure you try them if you get a chance. Great and highly underrated cigar!
