La Gloria Cubana Reserva Figurados Flechas Especiales

I love all the figurados except the maduros. For some reason the maduros are better in the basic line. This Ecuadorian wrapped beauty is absolutely wonderful. Medium bodied with some spice and complexity. Had this in the humi for several months. I should have purchased a box of these like I did with the rest of the line.

A good smoke, but I was left wishing it was a pirimedes. Very good flavor, but a somewhat uneven burn and required a strong set of lungs to keep it going. I like this cigar better than the series R as they are not quite as strong.

Had to try these as I could not get my hands on the Piramides. This is a very nice light smoke with lots of flavor and a smooth easy draw. willnot take hours to smoke and has a place in my box for those short relaxing breaks where I don't have an hout to set aside for a cigar.

As a big LGC fan, I am trying all of the figurados. For seven bucks, this one is a pretty good deal. Resembles a hemingway classic, but tastes better, I think. Smooth and medium-bodied, this cigar burned absolutely perfectly. I got about 2 inches of ash before it fell off. Lots of complex flavors going on here, some of which I could easily decipher, but most that just came and went. Tangy, woody, leathery, and sweet with hints of vanilla throughout. I'd recommend this cigar to anyone who likes LGC. It is worth seven dollars, without a doubt. Smoke it!

This is a pretty cigar. The construction on the pair that I have smoked was top notch. The cigar smoked really smooth, with an unmistakable Nicaraguan character. Quite a different smoke from the LCG Serie R cigars, this one is much smoother and I get less of an aromatic character. In any case, the price is reasonable and the cigars smoke very well.

It is one o'clock in the morning, and I just finished my first LGC Flecha. This is simply, a remarkable smoke. I am a fan of LGC, especially the Serie R, but I was not prepared for what this lovely figurado had in store. It is a beautiful tapered perfecto, wrapped in golden brown Ecuadorian leaf. After clipping the tapered cap, I torched the pointed tip, which fired into a perfect cone. First impression was spicy, with enough power to let you know it was young and meant business. It had a muscular, somewhat harsh and peppery introduction, which resolved into an amazingly full array of flavors. There were strong citrus notes (grapefruit, perhaps) and a surprising strawberry tart-sweetness. This fruit compote was spiced with pepper and complex, tangy but still immature tobacco flavors. It burned perfectly, delivering a dense and aromatic smoke. As the cigar progressed into it's final third, it grew in strength, but never lost it's balance, remaining complex and flavorful to the final inch. The finish was long, savory and flat out delicious... a memorable vitola indeed. I have enjoyed many highly regarded (and priced) Habanos that did not deliver the complexity, flavor and satisfaction of this little perfecto. A real gem!
