Not very well known by the public, La Gloria Cubana is considered a real gem by experienced aficionados. Created in 1885, well before the Cuban Revolution, the brand interrupted its production before resuming it in 1965.
During the Festival del Habano 2023, the brand has welcomed a brand-new format in its portfolio. La Gloria Cubana Turquinos is named after Pico Turquino, Cuba’s highest mountain and part of the famous Sierra Maestra mountain range in the southeast of the island. This vitola has been used in the past by various Cuban cigar brands, including Hoyo de Monterrey with its famous Epicure Especial.
This cigar is medium in strength, and entirely hand-rolled at the Partagás factory. The wrapper, binder and filler are from the famous Vuelta Abajo, in the province of Pinar del Río, Cuba. From the first few puffs you can find notes of earth, leather and spice, balanced by a softer, fruitier aroma.
