i will NEVER buy another La Gloria as they are the most inconsistantly rolled cigars i`ve ever had...........last couple of weeks i`ve tossed about 8 of `em for bad burn,no taste,peeling wrappers,etc.............down with LGC....IMHO......u

This is not good news. LGC is one of my go-to brands. Do you normally buy the Miami version or the Dominican? Which supplier? Which vitolas? I like the maduro Wavells and a couple of the larger sizes.

I've been smoking LGC boxes after boxes, both Miami and DR, Natural and Maduro, all the shapes 5" or shorter including Serie R, and I've never had such problems. Well, maybe not "never", but anyway "very rare". Your vendor might have kept them in bad conditions...

La Gloria ==Over rated


That is just my opinion...............Jerry in Owatonna.

I agree, i never really understood what the big deal was IMHO .

I tried the Wavell naturals from DR and I just didn't care for them. I really like the Serie R's though.

 

[Quixote]

Have to agree with TomN.

Upon reading this post, I looked back at my notes and, sure enough, except for the Serie R, LGCs have consistently had construction or uneven burn probelms, even with extended humi time and coming from several different vendors.

I hope the box of Miami Wavells I just bought are OK.

I have had burn problems only with the EMS Hermosos in the past. I have been smoking a good number of Glorias in maduro with no problems.

The Serie R are definitely a "cut above" the regular line.

I find LGCs to be all over the chart with regard to burn and flavor.
Some sizes are the worst cigars I have ever smoked. A couple remain my all time favorites. So why the big difference? Who knows, I've given away so many LGCs it breaks my heart. I've given some to dog rocket smokers and they didn't like them either. Corona Gorda and Soberano in maduro are wonderful, IMHO the rest mostly suck, Miami or DR.

How are they being stored? High humidity can cause the exact symptoms you are describing.

I've had 6 or 7 Series R all with excellent construction. Never had any other LGCs.
