La Gloria Cubana (D.R.) Churchill

I kept reading how this brand was such a great FULL bodied smoke. Unfortunately this isn't (full). It's not a BAD stick per se, it just doesn't have the cojones that i thought it would. Taken as a mild-medium smoke its pretty decent actually. Had I known this I would not have torched it after supper. I would've waited for the morning when a more mild smoke is more appropo.

Dry leather and charred coffee are evident at the beginning. There's a sweetness in the aroma that doesn't come through in the cigar. but there is a faint hint of vanilla. Medium+ flavor and body smoothes out after an inch, while the smoke is a little hot on the tongue. Not a bad smoke at all, just doesn't live up to the LGC reputation. It burns very well, so lay it down between puffs and smoke it slow to get the best of it. A good $3, or less, smoke.

I enjoyed this one better then the maduro, but it lacked the sweetness of the torpedo. I had to relight towards the end.

This was the first time I tried this cigar. I was very impressed. Smooth draw, nice salt and pepper ash, and good flavor. My only complait is that the wrapper started falling apart on me about 3/4 of the way down. I will definetly smoke another one.

great flavor, even burn, mild to medium, out of the box, put a couple in the humidor to age

I had great hopes for this LGC. This is the first of 10 and I hope more time in the humi will improve them. Uneven burn, a bit loose construction and a bit tight draw. I had expected better but it still was quite an enjoyable stick

This tasted like almost every other $5 cigar I have tasted...decent construction, average draw, a bit spongy (soft) for my taste...and the flavor was mediocre. The ash was a bit flaky and irregular. LGCs seem to have a loyal following...but I am not one of them. Perhaps a good golf course cigar to hand out to your buddies...but I would not buy a box. Too many other GOOD cigars out there...

A long time but worth the wait, I had this stick in my humidor since 2002. The foot lit very well and had a salt and pepper ash. The smoke was full and white with notes of wood and some bitter notes. All in all worth the wait.

When I smoked one of these right out of the box, it was very bland and mild. I let the other sit for a few months and what a difference! A smooth, mild-medium body cigar that tastes great. The draw was perfect but the wrapper started falling apart almost immediatly. I don't remember this happening with the previous cigar, so it's probably just a fluke.

I liked this. I liked this a LOT. A whole LOT!! I'm a BIG LGC fan...but this...

It's a gorgeous cigar. Very beautiful wrapper. The construction was perfect. This cigar was medium-bodied at best...mild even. This went perfectly...absolutely perfectly with a very very lightly sweetened hot Irish Breakfast Tea (I know...weird drink combo). It had the perfect amount of sweet to it. Lit perfectly. Smoked perfectly. This was an absolute finger burner. This will be my next box. Newbies-----start here!!

i love my LGC's but found these quite boring of the truck. Haven't been smoking them and have left them in my humi to age. Hopefully, they will improve with age by the time summer rolls around. Found them one dimentional.

Wooooo, like smoking a creamy cigar. Sweet, with a hint of chocolate in it. Not one that will over power you. Found a great deal at auction and got 5 for $18. 2 have bit the dust, plan to hold the others for a bit more age to them. Can't wait... 🙂

A medium bodied cigar with a flavorful taste. Good draw with plenty of smoke. Kinda rough looking, and slightly veiny, but nicely made.

My favorite vitola.I had a few laying around the 'dor waiting for me to get around to trying one. What was I thinking? A little veiny, but packed with rich, praline flavor. Complex.Easy draw.Medium body.I could smoke these all day.

Maduro

Had everything except the taste
Very plain smoke, but well made.

A mild to medium-bodied cigar with a consistently smooth draw. I've
smoked a few boxes of them already and have never been disappointed
in one yet. -Willie Grubbs
