I don't think I'll buy any more of these La Gloria Cubana's. The draw was really tight, the burn was uneven and the flavor was a bit harsh and bitter.
Aside from the draw portion of your issues, the rest could be moisture related. Where did it come from and how are you storing them?

I bought it out of the humidor at a local B&M cigar shop last week. I've been storing in my humidor here at home. The hygrometer dial on the front of my humidor reads 40. I have no idea what it's supposed to be.

Over 62 and under 75. If you have some bottled water and a paper towel and a shot glass you could try that until you get a humid disk or Boveda pack. The new humidor should be wiped down with distilled or bottled water before storing cigars. There are lots of ways just find one that works for you.

Dewayne as a newbie I wiped everything down inside, I put 2 humidity sticks on little shelf with a shot glass of distilled water, I had bought a digital humidity meter as the experienced guys told me the meters that come with the humidor are inaccurate, I left the cigars in the celephane wrappers. Being in muggy country I had no problem being in the 65 to 75 range. Hope this helps.

Thanks, guys. There is a disk in there that I can add water to, I just didn't know I needed to. I'll start working on that immediately.

Diesel Maduro unlimited in a cool shape outback on the bulkhead. This one is more of a full stick with good flavors enough to overpower the wrapper at times. This is the third stick out of the sampler and I would buy them again. The La Gloria R and the little PDR Maduro cigars showed up today so I rearranged the ammodor by age putting the Brick House on the bottom in hope that time would improve them.

My first Montecristo Platium sent to me by James AKA Scrooge, wonderful smoke, thank you James. Ducks flying in rice field, birds bathing in water pot by the old old tree, crip the cat hit by car healing, wife has been feeding him so he doesn’t have to walk around, temp 74 degrees, nice little breeze, it’s all good.

back from 2-miles power walks, no-band 5x50 for company. Medium strength, good construction, somebody's seconds.

Tonight is the most special cigar I’ll smoke all year. It is a Sept2007 Partagas Mille Fleur. I got this box when my son was a year old (his month/birth year). I smoke one a year on his birthday and today he turned 12. It’s amazing to see how far he’s come so right now I’m sitting back and enjoying this as I enjoy everything about my son. There are 13 more in the box Happy Birthday Jr, Love Dad imgur.com/a/qK5Jzy7
