I bought a Don Carlos last week in a pinch out of town and it now sits in my ashtray. Too light for me now. I can remember years ago when I thought they were spectacular. Same goes for OpusX. Fine cigars to be sure although over-priced. My palate has simply gotten acclimated to the La Gloria Cubana. Bauza (of Oscar Bourchin fame is a close second).
Regards.
I used to love LGC, from about 5 yrs ago....I have lost my taste for them recently. Bauza, on the other hand, is a nice mid-day cigar.
Recently, I have been on a LaLuna and Perdomo kick - as well as Cuban petite coronas.
Smoked a Partagas D4 the other night that was just incredible...that "chewy" and "tangy" smoke.....life it good.
