La Gloria Cubana Turquinos

HISTORY

La Gloria Cubana is a little-known jewel amongst Habano brands. Nevertheless, it enjoys a long history. Founded in 1885, its name alone clearly defines its origin. For over a century, it has attracted a small but loyal following amongst the most knowledgeable smokers. The brand is characterised by its elegant presentation, especially in the Medaille d’Or Series.

All the vitolas are Tripa Larga, Totalmente a Mano – long filler, totally hand-made.

The blend, made from filler and binder tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo region, offers well-balanced nuances of taste and aroma.

TASTING NOTES

A less delicate cigar compared to the Medaille d'Or No.4, offering a deeper, richer profile. The smoke starts with robust notes of rich, damp earth, leather, and wood. The complexity builds with a punch of red pepper spice and undertones of dark, sweet fruit. 

This earthy cigar pairs well with drinks such as Rye Whiskey, Dark Rum, or a Dark-Roast Espresso.
