Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - View Single Post - La Gloria Cubana Series R / Series N. Anybody smoke these?

Primarily the wrappers... but there are some other details that differentiate them.

The Serie N is an Oscuro wrapper while the Serie R is going to be either an Ecuadorian Sumatra or a Broadleaf Maduro.

Serie N I find to have slightly less body than Serie R but a richer semi-sweet chocolate/espresso type flavor.

The Serie R seems to have slightly more body and a bit more spice.

Also, though the Serie N is rolled in the DR, it's mostly Nicaraguan tobacco. (The only leaf that isn't is the Oscuro wrapper from Ecuador)

The Serie R, also rolled in the DR, has Ecuadorian, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobacco.
