Tested La Gloria Cubana Glorias. This is a new cigar and is offered exclusively in La Casa del Habano specialty stores. It will be available in Switzerland from 18.10.22. The beautiful box of 20 costs CHF 740.00 // EUR 700.00. I tested three of them.
A cigar test is subjective
Note: How the cigar tastes is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the shape of the day, what you have eaten or drunk before. Even the lighting mood in the room has an influence on the experienced taste. The notes described here therefore do not have to match your own impressions.
Tested: La Gloria Cubana Glorias
La Gloria Cubana Glorias: First inspect the three specimens.The anilla (cigar ring) is neatly printed and cleanly embossed. The second ring shows: These cigars have been created exclusively for La Casa del Habano and can only be purchased in these stores.I have tested three specimens (on three different days). The wrapper is very nice and occasionally has somewhat thick veins. Well, "thick" is already too much to say, it is a natural product and therefore everything is in the green zone for me.Lighting up is perfect. The first five minutes are characterized by an even burn; the strength is light to light-medium at most; the taste is pleasant on the tongue and also retronasal;
With the ZiZo R+ technique it is intense (What is this technique? See link below in resources on the topic); the draw resistance is a bit too firm, this is not a fault of the cigar (it just needs to stay put for a bit).
The aftertaste note is pleasant, discreet and lasting.The aroma (the scent or room note of the smoke) is mild and slightly spicy.The ash is compact and holds well. In the course of the smoke, all three specimens tasted almost the same: slightly sweet / cocoa / wood and slightly acidic on the tongue. Retronasal it gets a little more strength: slightly grassy / slightly spicy / cocoa / coffee beans / wood / slightly acidic. R+ technique: grassy / slightly spicy / slightly acidic.The course of enjoyment: constant and subtle increase on the tongue, retronasal and R+ technique.In the last third, it becomes a little bitchy if you draw on it too hastily. This is not a fault of the cigar. I did not know the boxing date of the three specimens.I wrote down my tasting notes with the ZiZo tool. You can download the PDF for free, see below under resources on the topic.Well, maybe a bit extreme to let the smoke waft up your nose like that 🙂Always draw the cigar slowly and leisurely so that it does not overheat and become spicy or bitter. Cigars are a wonderful way to wind down and relax.Hi, I'm Vasilij Ratej, owner of Zigarren.Zone. Nice to have you here and THANK YOU for your interest in this post! I wish you continued HAPPY SMOKE!
As always, "If the cigar tastes good to me, then maybe to you. But if you don't like it, then there's more for me!" 🙂
