La Gloria Cubana is a storied brand with a rich history, and it is recognized the world over as one of the finest premium cigar brands. The brand was reincarnated for American consumers by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. In the mid 1990s, the brand developed a cult following and set them on a trajectory for success. The brand grew so quickly, in fact, that Perez-Carrillo opened a new factory in the Dominican Republic. With his meteoric growth during the cigar boom, he sold his brand and factory to General Cigar in 1999, but he continued to oversee the factory and blending for another decade before handing over the reins to his team and retiring (at least for some time). La Gloria Cubana continues to be a leader in the industry that produces distinct, Cuban-inspired blends that continue to captivate the hearts and minds of cigar smokers everywhere.
This was the cigar that started it all for La Gloria Cubana. After being featured in one of the first issues of Cigar Aficionado, the La Gloria Cubana name became synonymous with boutique cigar excellence. La Gloria Cubana Classic is the smoke of choice for cigar lovers who desire full, rich flavor with notes of molasses, earth, and citrus. Our artisans start with a beautifully aged Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, then add an exquisite blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos, and finish it off with a Nicaraguan binder to deliver a medium-bodied smoking experience unlike any other.
