Pre-light: A dark and alluring corona sized cigar with a silky and oily maduro wrapper. A light earthy scent.
Smoke: This stogie has a slightly firm but very even draw with the v-cut clip. Sweet creamy start. Immediately I thought, "This is a great cigar!" Perfect burn, perfect ash. Strong and consistent taste of milk and honey with notes of sweet chocolate and English toffee. The aroma was earthy and there was a wonderfully sweet chocolate and nutty taste on the tip of the tongue.
The second half brought forth hints of French roast coffee and mild salty leather mixed with the ever-present chocolate and toffee.
Finish: Nutty, sweet, and spicy with notes of cedar. Smooth coffee aftertaste.
I love this cigar!

I love the La Gloria Cubana Maduro. The nutty-chocolate essence is classic maduro. It has been forever since I have enjoyed one. I think the last one I smoked was in Waco. I may have to get one on my next trip to Douglasville.
