| At one time impossible to find, La Gloria Cubana is one of the fullest bodied cigars made in the Dominican Republic today.
La Gloria Cubana was one of the most popular brands during the 1990’s. When founder and creator Ernesto Carillo opened up shop in Miami, he had no idea of the success that was in store for him. People would line up hours before the store would open, waiting to taste a cigar that had become a phenomenon. Today to meet the incredible demand for his cigars, Ernesto has teamed up with General Cigar and currently he produces La Gloria Cubana in the Dominican Republic. Only a handful of cigars are still produced in the Miami factory, and are made primarily for the local market. La Gloria Cubana’s are medium to full bodied with a very earthy and spicy aroma. They are just as good today as they were back in the days of their inception. |

La Gloria Artesanos de Miami |

Where to purchase |
 |
|
| La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Miami took 6 full years to complete. An ultra-rare, limited production blend that represents the strongest and most flavorful La Gloria to date. Roughly 50 blends were made prior to finding the perfect match in flavor and balance, which properly suited the fabled La Gloria Cubana trademark.
Artesanos de Miami is handmade by a tiny team of 10 master rollers in Miami, FL. To create this gem, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo chose a dark and oily Habano-seed wrapper grown in Nicaragua. The binder is Ecuadorian Sumatra, and secures a powerful mixture of Nicaraguan and Dominican long-fillers. From the get-go, this cigar is bold, offering bold notes of pepper and leather, complemented by an underlying creaminess and hints of toasted wood. Strong throughout, La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Miami is a satisfying cigar you’ll want to make time for, and is fit for occasions of the highest caliber. Production is limited to just 250,000 cigars. Expect this fine cigar to be on backorder often. |
