LA GLORIA CUBANA CIGARS

This is another rather old brand that dates from 1885, developed by Jose Rocha and Rafael Garcia. La Gloria Cubana (the "Glory of Cuba") are a small, but beautifully crafted, range. The Medaille d'Or 1,2,3 and 4 selection could be likened to drinking a good chardonnay. Medium in strength, words like toasted nuts, caramel,spices and smoothly flowing honey come to mind. Sabrosos have a lighter character with distinct flowery, pepper and vanilla overtones. Medaille dOr No.2: CA 89.
