Popular Post Salomones Posted October 9, 2022 Popular Post Posted October 9, 2022 https://halfwheel.com/new-la-gloria-cubana-glorias-designated-as-lcdh-exclusive/414777/ Was released yesterday in Brussels. Prices not known so far. 4 3
NSXCIGAR Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 Gorgeous box, I must say. Interesting color scheme for LGC. I would expect pricing to be in line with the JL Seleccion Especial.
Popular Post RDB Posted October 9, 2022 Popular Post Posted October 9, 2022 Beautiful presentation and a lovely size. The big question is: will they show true LGC character in the blend? Some of the special editions seem to me to have little or nothing to do with the core marca characteristics. What we all want I’m sure is a re-release of the no.2. Or a larger version of the no.4. Just imagine how a Laguito no.1 would go down in the MdO#4 blend! 6
canadianbeaver Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 Beautiful. I wonder if Nelson Alfonso designed that box? He did the boxes for special editions and my new collection addition adds, Atabey. Nelson Alfonso is the creative director for the Golden Age design firm which has handled the branding for Habanos, S.A. cigars. In addition, he was the designer behind Padron’s 50th Anniversary humidor. Alfonso is also a gifted cigar blender and founder of Atabey Cigars. One other thing, what do you think when you see a fiver or a single for sale or trade from a box like this? Heart breaking or opportunity? CB 1
BrightonCorgi Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 Looks expensive and impressive. I hope to get a couple of boxes! 1

Frinkiac7 Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 Proof will be in the pudding as far as flavor profile. I miss being able to get MdO 1
havanaclub Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 I’ll just take the cigars of someone wants to split lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

NSXCIGAR Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 I'd be interested in these if not for the upcoming Turquinos. Those should satisfy my LGC craving for about 1/3 the price of these Glorias. There are several upcoming releases that might make their way into my rotation: Turquinos, RA No. 3, RG Coronas de Lonsdales, Monte Wide Edmundos. 1
Popular Post Fugu Posted October 10, 2022 Popular Post Posted October 10, 2022 Sorry for being the one pooping the party, and am aware I am repeating myself. But the policy of putting out polished specials, while not having one single regular on offer, let alone a decent range of regular production, I call hoodwinking smokers. As a long-standing lover of LGC I constantly feel they’re taking the piss out of me... ! All the effort put in that packaging..., man! Nice! Perhaps even beautiful. But if I want a humidor I’ll buy a humidor! I don’t need a big bling box consuming space and rolling around empty when I am done with my twenty sticks. Much less, paying extra for it. Don’t get me wrong, if one loves a shiny product give them their ‘caja de lujo’. I am guilty of being a buyer myself on occasion. But - pleeease - also give me (back) my simple box and cigars! Give me a choice! I want to just smoke those damn things and not get a boner looking at them. Not always 😅 9 4

Just got an email from a usually fairly high priced Belgian LCDH offering them at 995 euro. Factoring in early-bird tax and B&M markup, and assuming they someday appear in volume, which seems to be a pretty big assumption at the moment, I'd guess eventual worldwide price maybe $850. 4 3

If not for those it would make these Glorias a real hose job. Basically drug dealing...you like LGC huh? Yeah, I know you do... haven't had any in a long time have you? No, no you haven't...well, here you go...yeah, just what you need...I know you're desperate... anything just to get a hit of the precious LGC... 1 5

canadianbeaver Posted October 11, 2022 Posted October 11, 2022 This happens just when they say they are about to go out of business, so buy now! 10 Canadian bucks says loveliest Trinidad cigars come out by next Cigar fest in Havana.👑 CB
