La Gloria Cubana: Rediscovering the Hidden Gem
La Gloria Cubana, a brand considered as a hidden gem within the portfolio of Habanos, has long been neglected, with only regional and La Casa del Habano (LCDH) cigars being produced for some time. However, there is exciting news for cigar enthusiasts and connoisseurs as Habanos announces the release of new standard production cigars for the La Gloria Cubana brand. Among them is the reimagined Turquinos, a Gordito sized standard production cigar.
La Gloria Cubana has a storied history that dates back decades. Among the intriguing pieces of its heritage is the original Turquinos cigar, a short panetela that was discontinued in the 1970s. This piece of history holds sentimental value for long-time aficionados and collectors, making its revival a momentous occasion. By reintroducing the Turquinos, Habanos pays homage to the brand’s past while paving the way for its future.
The new La Gloria Cubana Turquinos stands out as a Gordito size cigar, measuring 50 x 141mm. Crafted using tobacco leaves from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, the cigar’s wrapper, binder, and filler promise to deliver a luxurious smoking experience. The Gordito vitola, well-known for its usage in other Cuban cigars like the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial, adds an air of familiarity that attracts seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
As the Gloria Cubana Turquinos makes its grand entrance in 10-count packs, it signals a new era for the brand. The inclusion of the original Turquinos as part of this launch further adds historical significance, appealing to collectors and connoisseurs looking for a unique addition to their cigar collection. The accessibility of the Turquinos in Swiss Casa del Habano and Habanos Specialist stores ensures a global reach, spreading the excitement of La Gloria Cubana to enthusiasts around the world.
The announcement of new standard production cigars for La Gloria Cubana marks a turning point for the brand, which had been seemingly overlooked for some time in favour of regional and LCDH releases. The revival of the original Turquinos, adds a touch of history and nostalgia to this exciting launch. With the introduction of the Turquinos and other standard production cigars, La Gloria Cubana is set to reclaim its well-deserved place in the hearts of cigar enthusiasts worldwide.
