My favorites are the ones La Gloria Cubana made before they were part of the Borg Collectiv...uh, I mean General Cigar.

Hey, I'm foolin', kinda. The Serie N seems good now that they have a little age on 'em. But honest to goodness, the LGCs rolled in Miami during the early-to-mid 1990s were some of the finest smokes I've ever had.

Those early cigars were fantastic. Raw and fresh. I remember talking to a cigar shop owner in Florida in the early 90's. I was buying some boxes and he said "Kid, you can stick these under your bed for 6 months and they'll taste the same as they do now." I really miss those cigars.

My favorite now is the Soberano in maduro.

I don't think what you looked up are the same cigars to which he was referring to.

Those are them. My mistake.

I edited out your link to the pic since the pic is from a vendor of CCs.

FWIW - that pic is very misleading. The Cuban LGC MdO cigars do not have wrappers that are anywhere close to very dark or black.

They are pretty dark in comparison to average "the norm" cc wrappers, though. Would you concede to that? I always thought they were pretty dark, comparitively. Good, too.

To be honest, Scott. I would disagree. Most of the LGC wrappers I have seen have been comparatively light. But I am by no means an expert.
