La Gloria Cubana Cigars

Brand History

Originating in Havana, Cuba, in 1885, the brand boasts a storied legacy deeply rooted in traditional tobacco craftsmanship. Following the Cuban embargo, saw a massive resurgence under the guidance of industry legends who relocated production. Today, the majority of these sought-after cigars are meticulously hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic, where local artisans honor the brand’s historic roots while applying modern, rigorous quality control to every single batch.

The flavor profile of this brand spans a wide and satisfying spectrum. On one end, you have milder, classic lines utilizing Connecticut Shade wrappers that yield smooth tasting notes of toasted cedar, roasted nuts, and a subtle sweetness. On the heavier side, full-bodied powerhouse blends incorporate rich Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers bound by dark, oily wrappers, offering a robust punch of earth, leather, and espresso. Regardless of the strength, every vitola guarantees an impeccable draw.

A great fact about La Gloria Cubana is that during the massive cigar boom of the 1990s, they were largely responsible for making thicker ring gauges popular among mainstream smokers, setting a trend that continues today. To ensure these thick vitolas reach you in flawless condition, Cigar Country stores every box in our state-of-the-art humidor under perfect 70/70 climate control. This guarantees your order is shipped factory-fresh, so the delicate wrappers and perfectly bunched fillers perform exactly as the Master Blender intended.
