I just smoked my first one of these. This is a prime example of hype. This thing seemed very similar to the 5V A line. The draw was very tight, and oddly, the cap was about 1/8th of an inch thick. I doubt this is normal, so I'm sure I'll try another one, someday.

Also, does anyone know when and where the Victory Cigar Club meetings are? I'll be back in Iraq in a couple weeks, and this time I'll be stationed on VBC. I'd like to drop in for a meeting or two.

Which vitola?

All LGCs I've had have been good.. hope it's a one off... i'd much rather have a LGC rather than any 5V, just me personally.

It was a No 6 I bought at a local. I had been wanting to try them before I bought any, and I was in the area so I bought one. I will probably buy another before I completely swear it off. I can't imagine it being the norm.

VCC herfs are held at Camp Victory (Baghdad). Based on who we typically send to, I'm going to say ask any senior Air Force personnel and they'll point you in the right direction. A more definite way to make sure you meet up with the right person would be to get the current name of the Airman organizing the herfs and shoot him an email ahead of time.

How is the new series N compare to the series R?

I like the R's but have not smoked the new N yet.

Thread jack off

Try one from a different shop to be safe.

Maybe that shop buys internet cigars. You gonna give us a heads up when your there for care packages?

LGC Maduro's are some of my favorites. I like the Series R, and N too. Never had a problem either.

Matter of taste? I think the R's are phenomenal. As Busa would say , send me yours!

Look 'em up on facebook.

They meet every 2 weeks on Saturday at various places.

There (or at least there was when I was @ Victory) is a cigar club that meets on Slayer every Saturday. I'd go to Victory one Sat, then Slayer the next.

LGC Series R - I favor the maduro. I've had burn issues when the cigar was over humidified,however a day or two dry boxed fixed that. One of my all time favorites.

nor have I ... my guess is that over-humidification is the source of the problem in this case

I have just recently had 2 experiences with the LGC Serie R and both were very positive. 1 was OTT and the other had some time on it.

Good flavor on both, nice and earthy, a little pungent, def. a full flavor smoke. Good burn, nice and even, Good construction. Flavor developed nicely, ended up smooth and strong with nice depth.

I've been smoking LGCs for years, I've tried most of what they've produced, but none are as good as the regular line natural wrapped sticks. Grab a Wavell, Corona Gorda, Gloria - they're all great. Especially the Wavell and Corona Gorda though. I have more empty Wavell boxes than anything else. For my money, easily one of the best cigars out there.

I'll not buy another Series R though. More money for a lesser cigar, IMO. Not a bad smoke but not nearly as good as the regular line.

Fondly remembering the ORIGINAL LGCs...

Frankly I might just swear off the line since Ernesto left. Something is different but I just can't put my finger on it. Still have a few waiting for the three year mark to see if they remind me of that first box I bought so many years ago.

But....it gets better....if you can sit on those core line maduros for a year, or three, you will be very richly rewarded. I frequently check new B&M's for forgotten boxes or yellow cell on LCG Maduro's and it's like striking gold when I find some. The Series R's to me cost more simply for a little spice while sacrificing flavor and 'richness' .
