Description
La Gloria Cubana Natural is the one starting this brand into long lasting stardom. 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 LGC consists of a hand selected proprietary blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Binding this special tobacco is a vintage Nicaraguan binder. Encasing everything is this brand’s signature Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Among everything else, consistency is the key word to describe this very special cigar.
In a recent tasting of this original natural, Cigar Aficionado sums up their 92 rating with reverence. “Many varieties of La Gloria Cubana now exist, but the original blend, with its Ecuador Sumatra wrapper, still impresses, showing a harmoniously nutty smoke atop an earthy core and fresh tobacco finish.” Oddly enough, in 1993 this classic scored the same. It just goes to show you that greatness stays great even with 30 years of time passing.
To sum up, La Gloria Cubana Natural comes in 11 popular sizes of 20 or 25 count boxes

Rich Cucharo –
This cigar which is still being made in Cuba is the masterpiece created when the founding family fled to the United States. Without access to Cuban tobacco the family developed a signature blend that many feel exceeds the Cuban original. With a size for every smoker this medium to full bodied cigar has been enjoyed for decades by countless smokers.
Yes it’s an old one but a superlative and consistent smoke.
