Description
La Gloria Cubana Serie R Natural is definitely another one of this iconic brand’s most popular entries. To begin with, La Gloria Cubana is a premium cigar brand originating in Cuba in 1885. No doubt, this brand has a rich history and is still known for its craftsmanship. The founding family of Ernest Perez-Carrillo fled to the United States and began to produce the first non-Cuban La Gloria Cubana blend in Miami at the El Credito cigar factory. Now owned by General Cigar, La Gloria Cubana offers a variety of blends, each with its own distinctive flavor profile and construction. These classic cigars are wonderfully complex and continue to be enjoyed by countless smokers.
With attention to detail, this Serie R Natural consists of a proprietary blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Binding this special tobacco is the vintage Nicaraguan leaf. The big difference here is the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Serie R is a richer, spicier, fuller body version of the regular LGC line. In fact, when it debuted in 1999, it helped kick start the trend towards full-bodied cigars. This cigar’s exquisite taste captures a place in the smoking repertoires of tenured smokers who demand the ultimate in flavor.
Cigar Aficionado gives it a thumbs up too with a respectable rating of 92. They say it best. “Rich in color with an oily wrapper and superbly crafted cap, this short robusto draws and burns evenly. Sweet woods and floral notes are balanced by spices, earth and hints of dried orange peel.”
To sum up, La Gloria Cubana Serie R Natural comes in six popular sizes of 24 count boxes.

This medium to full bodied cigar has a blend that emphasizes natural tobacco flavor without any nuances of flavor notes. Just thick, rich taste that increases in strength and intensity as you smoke it. While not as frighteningly strong as its Maduro counterpart, it’s still a very serious cigar best smokes after a full meal.
