La Gloria Cubana Serie R Natural

When the big ring gauge trend first emerged, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo was among the first to truly bring out the “big guns” with the introduction of La Gloria Cubana Serie R cigars. A pioneering masterpiece, the entire Serie R lineup features large ring gauge cigars that pack serious punch while still upholding the classic La Gloria Cubana quality standards. Handmade in the Dominican Republic, Serie R blends Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, including a generous amount of power-packed ligero, with a spicy Nicaraguan binder. The finishing touch is a veiny, heavily aged Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, cultivated specifically for this cigar. The La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 3 earned a 92 rating from Cigar Aficionado. The thick white smoke coats the palate with intense pepper, complemented by sweet hints of honey and black cherry. Roasted coffee notes round out the earthy profile, and though the finish is intense, it remains relatively short. It’s safe to say that Serie R is La Gloria Cubana on steroids. This full-bodied stick is best suited for experienced or intermediate smokers and pairs beautifully with port wine or a robust beer, making it an ideal, relaxing smoke before bed. Backed by the legacy of the La Gloria Cubana brand, each cigar undergoes meticulous scrutiny to ensure utmost quality. Similar cigars include MUWAT and Joya de Nicaragua Antaño. Big flavors, big cigars—that’s La Gloria Cubana Serie R.
