Ernesto Carrillo, a Cuban-born cigar maker, first launched the La Gloria Cubana brand in 1972 in a small El Credito factory located in Miami. The La Gloria Cubana became highly popular in the 1990s due to the Cigar Aficionado reviews; it became too popular that Carrillo decided to move the production location to the Dominican Republic to be able to meet the increasing demand. Still beating the other brands, the La Gloria Cubana cigars of today are also produced in Nicaragua. This was where the award-winning La Gloria Cubana Serie R Esteli line was created. These cigars are wrapped in gorgeous EMS and dark Maduro wrappers. These are all crafted by level 10 master rollers using the finest aged tobaccos as well as grade A wrappers. If you are after a luxury smoking experience, the La Gloria Cubana is the best.
