Re: LaGloria Cubana Artesanos de Miami Artisanitas
The sticks were on my desk when I arrived at work Monday morning. Great. The temperature is in the mid 70's and for Minnesota in November, that's as good as it gets. I took them home and had dinner and shortly thereafter proceeded to go out on the deck and fire one up. The pre-light aroma was a blend of tobacco and a sweetness like cocoa. The Palio was brought out and the cap dismissed. After toasting the foot, I placed the cigar in my mouth, put the flame to it and almost collapsed a lung, the draw was so tight. The construction is beautiful, the wrapper is flawless but the rollers must have been 800 pound gorillas to get the stick that tight. Ah well, since these were ROTT, I will dry box another and see if it improves. More to follow.:fl
