La Lunas at Cigar King - BOTL Cigar Forums

indyrob · 10-18-2008, 05:55 PM

Has anyone tried the La Luna's from cigar king? I really liked the old Luna's and am actually glad that Gael is still making cigars.

Has anyone tried them?

I haven't tried these yet but thanks for the heads up. I think I might just place an order on the blind assumption that these will be as good as all of the other La Lunas I have smoked over the years. Like the description states, Gael does have his own special art form when it comes to blending cigars. I too am glad that Gael is still making cigars.

I bought a bundle of the LHB L3 off of a brother a couple of years ago and have smoked about five or six of them so far. The first one right after receiving them was fantastic and every one since has just gotten better and better. After a thread about what cigars used to be all the rage on another board and a discussion concerning La Luna cigars, in particular the LLMF, a brother bombed me with several that were well aged, nice and oily and covered in plume. I've only smoked one so far and it was pure heavenly bliss. It made me want to kick myself for knowing just how good these were back when and not buying about 20 boxes of them.

Yes I do believe I will place an order just to check these out.

This smoke is a little too mild for me. I had one about a week ago. It's very creamy and flavorful, I enjoyed it, it's just not my typical smoke. I'm close by Cigar King, if you want to shoot me your info I can send you a single to try out.

I've smoked his entire line and enjoy them very much.
Gael is a cool guy... I used to hang out with him all the time at his shop Art District Cigars in Little Havana. I don't know where he's relocated, but I do know that I miss his cigars.
Any info on his whereabouts would be awesome...

I always thought that he fell head over heals in love with Marta and slowly withdrew from the cigar world.

I would find that hard to believe being that she has such an active role in the business...

I never did meet her, though.

I don't know anything about La Luna's history or Gael, the only thing I read was the CW interview...maybe I mistook his meaning.
