"In seeking to appeal to the more sophisticated tastes of the true cigar connoisseur, La Gloria Cubana is migrating away from the milder, more popular blends in favor of rich, heavy-bodied Cuban-type blends like those from which it takes its name. With the Serie “R” line, La Gloria introduces cigars that are larger and fuller than usual. Their 52 and 54 ring gauge sizes suggest the increased flavor they carry. The stronger blend of Nicaraguan Ligero and Dominican Olor complement the larger sizes and mark a return to the full-bodied smokes long favored in the Latin tradition. But don’t let the strength of the cigar mislead you into thinking that it lacks subtlety. The Ecuador-Sumatra wrapper delivers the spicy, earthy overtones and nuances that can only be found in cigars that do not stint in the flavor department. That’s La Gloria Cubana; that’s a great Caribbean cigar experience." |
