First envisioned by legendary cigarmaker Ernesto Perez-Carrillo during his rise to premium-cigar prominence in the late '90s / early 2000s, the La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro cigar was the dark-wrapped followup to the original LGC Serie R before it. Together, the cigars helped carve the path for fuller-bodied smoking experiences and hefty ring gauges.
With the La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro cigar, Carrillo made use of a dark and gritty Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper; this leaf adorned a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from both Nicaragua and the DR. Today, the cigars are featured in a wide range of sizes, with large sizes such as the La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro No. 8 cigar being popular choices due to their long smoking time, voluminous smoke output, and bang-for-your-buck affordability.
