The tapered tip gives way easily to my Palió cutter and I light the tapered yet hefty foot. I am instantly met with an abundance of ââ¬Åsugar and spice and everything nice.ââ¬Â The sweet tobacco flavors are ripe, pungent and full of spice.
The burn and draw are magnificent and the ash piles up in a perfectly striated column until I drop it off at nearly two inches.
Though noted for a full-bodied smoke, this La Gloria Cubana comes wielding a surgical scalpel rather than a broadsword. The body is medium yet the flavors are very full and very complex. The flavors present layer upon layer of sweet tobacco and spice and remain long on my tongue.
I would recommend this cigar for experienced palates and also for the adventurous newcomer who is interested in expanding their repertoire.
