It’s hard to believe La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro is 22 years old and counting. I Remember when they came to market and trying one with a morning cup of coffee. Needless to say, I was taken back by the sheer strength of this dark, oily cigar. With an open draw, your palate will be enveloped in rich, robust, heavy natural tobacco flavor that will really, really, increase quickly as you smoke it. Towards its finish, the nicotine content ramps up considerably as well. Very serious cigar for seasoned smokers. Buckle up!
