La Gloria Cubana Churchill
I spent my birthday in Florida at Walt Disney World. To celebrate I bought myself a cigar. I figure in Florida for my birthday I would go with a brand I like, instead of something new. So I went with an LGC.
For various reasons I didn't get around to having it until today. Consequently, it had suffered through a flight, and a week of being sealed in a plastic bag in my freezing house.
Construction: It was a little dry, and consequently it started hard to draw and needed to be relit after little time being unsmoked. Granted, it was mistreated so that might not be it's fault. It still burned fairly evenly, and turned into white ash.
Taste: Absolutely incredible. Power-wise, it was pretty middle of the road. It started with chocolate mixed with tobacco, and stayed that way the entire time. I smoked it down to my fingers.
Stats: This cigar measures 7 inches by a ring gauge of 50. It's made in the US with filler from Nicaragua and the Domincan Republic, binder from Nicaragua and wrapper from Ecuador. Holt's sells them for around $3.35 a smoke.
Overall: For $3.35 a pop I'm considering adding a box of these to my humidor.
Note:While Holt's sells them at a good price, the Sosa store at Downtown Disney charged me $8.50 for this smoke. Next time, I'll bring my own.
