Some call it the monster of the Dominican Republic... a mysterious beast that began arriving out of the El Credito factory of the DR in recent years.
The culprit at hand is the La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 8 cigar, a boundary-pushing smoke that weighs in at a massive 7" x 70 gordo format! At its core is the beloved La Gloria Cubana Serie R recipe, a cigar that helped to shape modern, fuller-bodied smoking profiles at its launch in 1999. Designed by Hall-of-Fame cigarmaker Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, the La Gloria Cubana Serie R showcases an Ecuadorian Sumatran wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
What does the La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 8 cigar taste like?
The LGC Serie R has always been known for its larger formats, but the La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 8 size takes the concept to another level... rolling the cigar in a gargantuan 7" x 70 size known as the "No. 8." This beast of a smoke unleashes a hefty smoke output from first light, offering long and rewarding smoking times of two hours or more. Expect a medium-full body and stick-to-your-rib flavors of red pepper, hickory, leather, and touches of caramel sweetness.
