Popular Post MigsG Posted February 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2020 I was told this was an Alex custom Pyramide. It was very good, turned sweet halfway and was sweet till the end. Not complex but very enjoyable. Ended the evening with a '15 Partagas Shorts 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always appreciate your shots, with what I assume is HKG in the background (I'm a bit of an aviation fan). Passed through on my way back from Thailand late last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SonGoku Posted February 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2020 Rafael Gonzales - Perlas (GUT OCT 13) I've got an hour or so before the sun disappears behind the building across the balcony because this time of the year it's positioned so low on the horizon. After that it'll be to cold to enjoy a smoke outside. So this Perlas fits the bill for today. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted February 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2020 La Gloria Cubana Serie D No.5 2017 - Edición Regional España BRO Dic 2017 The La Gloria Cubana Serie D No.5 is a Spanish Regional Edition that was announced in 2017. With an initial run of 50000 boxes it's no surprise that it wasn't until mid-2018 that this cigar actually hit the market. A Petit Robusto at 50 ring gauge x 110 mm (or 4⅜ inches in length), it's a similar size to the Partagas Serie D No.5, it was released in 10-count dress boxes. This release has garnered positive accolades since its release, but in my view, five hundred thousand sticks of a La Gloria Cubana Regional Edition is about four hundred thousand too many. There have been 13 Regional Editions since 2008 within the La Gloria Cubana marca and the other twelve never exceeded one hundred thousand cigars in total quantity. This flooding of the market has had a retrograde effect on the LGC Serie D No.5 pricing. Normally a Regional Edition cigar has a higher price point than regular production cigars, but this excess supply has caused retailers to discount this release. So if you see them on special, this would explain why! At this point, I would like to pause the review here to acknowledge and thank @Thirds in gifting this to me. I had reviewed this cigar about three months ago and previously I had written that there have been a number of reviews (both video and text) on-line of this cigar, and indeed a number of you have sampled it already. Last time it smoked like a chocolate fudge stick crossed with some age on it, this time the tasting was different. However, I did have some burn/construction issues repeat themselves a second time. In my last review the flavours were chocolate, earth, wood and leather with a huge hit of baking spice in the first half which was replaced with some aged floral notes in the back half. In between, the cigar needed re-lights and the wrapper tore around the end of the second third, so I had to pitch it into the last third. This time, I got a big hit of almond nut, bitter chocolate, earth and leather with strong lashings of paprika spice, especially past the halfway point. The wrapper again tore in the second third and the cigar needed re-lights. The burn was also uneven. The flavours redeemed the cigar for me, but it's disappointing to encounter construction issues like this again. My theory to explain the construction issues with this release, that seems to come up consistently in reviews on it, is due to the large production supply necessitating a rolling technique different to the traditional entubado method. This allows rollers to produce around 60% to 70% more cigars in a day. I'd also add that the wrappers are not the premium quality we're used to seeing on other regular production Habanos releases. It took 55 minutes to smoke and it was tough to 'power through' the cigar when I had to re-light it often and then I had to deal with a torn wrapper. No matter, the flavours kept me interested. I just wish that some of this leaf was saved for the regular production LGC Medaille d'Or No.4. Now that would have been nice indeed! 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
