This is my first review on Cigars.Com. I just received a "Best in Show" sampler and as I write this, I am enjoying a La Gloria Cubana Glorioso N. This cigar is SMOOTH and the construction is flawless, you may leave it for 5 minutes, no problem when you return no need to re-light. Forget about nuts, coffee and the other nonsense this is beautiful tobacco and a cigar you can enjoy anytime of the day. A great Medium cigar and highly recommended.

Maduro has more to do with the fermentation where as Oscuro wrapper leaves are taken from the top priming or medio tiempo (literally “half time,” meaning they’ve been left on the plant 50% longer). Since these leaves have been exposed to a maximum amount of sunlight, they begin to cure on the plant. You end up with a darker, thicker, richer and more flavorful leaf than that of a pure maduro.
on that note...
they do look and taste very similar because they happen to both draw out sugars and make a slightly sweeter cigar. the maduro, however will be much more mild and probably a bit more smooth.
Just Great aged tobacco that complements any thing from coffee to Port.
iduno...
maybe our taste buds are different. fermented products often have different flavors to different people. maybe your body chemistry is different than mine and we just dont get the same thing from the same cigar.
heck, isnt that what makes this hobby so much fun? looking for different blends we like then comparing them to other blends and other peoples impressions?
either way, you are not wrong.
neither am i.
somehow we are saying opposite things.
i think my local B&M has these cigars. i may have to pick one up.
They can tend to have some uneven burn issues but nothing major.
Oscuro is a way of curing those same upper priming leaves. it is more of a process than a position on the plant.
as i just said above:
if it is just "ligero" they are not left on the plant that extra time and they are cured in a barn after they are off the stalk.
afterthought:
should i add this clarification to the blending 101 thread?
you may notice that i quoted myself a bit different. i should have been more clear in the original post. this is why the "quote" is not actually a "quote"
