So far i've heard classic Sancho salt driftwood and cream, but with touches of chocolate/coconut. Sort of like a Sp beli mixed with a monte PE. Does this ring true?

Popular Post JohnS Posted January 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2019 La Gloria Cubana Platinum Edition 2016 - Edición Regional Paises Bajos Thank you @bugman78629 for gifting me this Netherlands 2016 Regional cigar, I definitely don't envisage that I'd ever have had a chance to sample it without your generosity! How does this compare to the last regular production La Gloria Cubana vitola currently available, the Medaille d'Or No.4? Well, the LGC Medaille d'Or No.4 is known for being fruity, spicy, herbal, woody and yet it can be sweet and creamy too, especially if aged. This 54 ring gauge x 140mm cigar, known as a 'duke' size was indeed fruity, spicy and had some cream to it, as well as wood, but it was much more refined and subtle. In other words, I would expect to lay down any La Gloria Cubana sticks I have for some time to reach this level of subtlety. The only misnomer I had with this cigar was in trying to take off the bands I tore the wrapper, but despite smoking the rest of the cigar with just the binder, I could still easily retrohale and nub it. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the classic Sancho Panza profile, my fellow brother. What you’ve heard is quite accurate. Unfortunately, I did not notice any hints of coconut. Due to the pairing perhaps? Construction, burn and draw were all exceptional. Hope this helps. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigy Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Does it live up to the hype?It's no tatuaje, illusione, padron or opus... It does have a pleasant nutty flavor but I'll take any regular production CC any day over it.

Popular Post awkwardPause Posted January 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2019 A few from the last few ?... RASS - ULA FEB 14 - stunning, super funky (barnyardyness?) richness. Monte 80th - UAO NOV 17 - Big, toasty, chocolate bomb. Medium body and tasty as can be. Buttery aroma while smoking. Too bad so pricey! Punch Corona - 1995 something else. No sweetness but just sheer earthy, hay and coffee. Really nice and unique. Cohiba Corona Especiales - REG MAY 18 - fresh - rich, grassiness prevails. Almost put me on my ass with nicotine. Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto - UEB DIC 17 - Wow, did I ever write these off way too soon! Toasty goodness that makes me love the marca even more (doesn’t take much as it’s already my favorite Cheers! -BG 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starts out with dry wood and baking spice, but shows some youthful elbows in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Duxnutz Posted January 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2019 Couple in the last week. Espy for NYE whilst neighbors were blowing up the neighborhood. ‘99 Sancho Panza Coronas Gigantes. Love these things. I’m fearing they are losing it as I wasn’t blown away like the last time. Might have been the brisk swim in the pool prior. Jonny-O custom roll. Great consistent every day cigar. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cfc1016 Posted January 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2019 This box of RAU AGO 16 partagas petit coronas especiales have just been utterly spectacular. @NSXCIGAR and @awkwardPause - this is a winning code. Really really good. All that earthy, leathery, woody, slight-spicy goodness is there, and the flavor journey is just an absolute delight. I’m so grateful to HSA, honestly, for these. This is the cigar that instantly springs to mind, and gives me a hearty chuckle, when people at shops tell me they “don’t smoke cubans ‘cause they’re too expensive”. They then proceed to walk out with their $15 rocky patel whilst i go home to the bliss of a ~$4 bombshell partagas. I’ve given up on trying to change minds. It seems a frivolous pursuit. Edit: @HDGSN - pm me for a link, if you see the stealie and realize you ‘just must have it’. I’ve even got a good backstory to share with you. I’ve got you pegged as a Scarlet->Fire guy, yeah? 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
