Description
La Gloria Cubana Esteli is one of the greatest cigars available anywhere for under $5. 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.
In 2018 this brand decides to go to Nicaragua to make this great cigar. With attention to detail, very select Nicaraguan and Honduran tobacco fillers and binder leaves make up the inners. Encasing all this is a prime Nicaraguan wrapper from the Jalapa region. The result was an immediate success.
Leaf Enthusiast rates it at 90. They’re words are perfect. “A very nice medium-bodied flavor profile that has plenty of complexity.” Developing Palates expands with more details. ‘You’re treated to earth, leather, toasted notes, spices, creme brûlée, chocolate and baking spices.” When Blind Man’s Puff scored it an astounding 93, it really took off. Their take was the best. “This is really a nice cigar. The initial mild flavors attracted my interest and the gradual increase in intensity was perfect to end my day.”
No doubt this affordable smoke is very interesting.
To sum up, La Gloria Cubana Esteli comes in 3 popular sizes of 25 count boxes
