After General Cigar Corp. completed the acquisition of La Gloria Cubana from Ernesto Perez Carillo, a group of managers were touring the old La Gloria Cubana factory in the Little Havana section of Miami when they found an antique humidor. For two years the La Gloria Cubana team set out to recreate the humidor and cultivate a new wrapper type for this project. The wrapper is a cross-breeding of a Connecticut seed, which was then cultivated in Honduras. This virgin crop yielded a hearty rich and full bodied wrapper despite its appearance. But it didn’t stop there and to add fuel to the fire a double binder of bold Nicaraguan and Mexican leaf was used in this blend. Then a fine aged selection of fillers to round out this smoke, proprietary Nicaraguan and Dominican ligero tobacco was also used to deliver additional body and pepper. The cigars are medium to full bodied and come in four sizes, each in its own unique box, carefully designed to resemble the original humidor and a bygone era.
