La Gloria Cubana Serie R Esteli Maduro

This cigar is mostly the same blend of Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos, but with a jet-black Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. The added character brings forth an entirely new flavor profile, appealing this time not only to fans of Nicaraguan tobacco but all you Maduro freaks as well.

Keeping with tradition, Serie R Esteli Maduro is available in big, chunky sizes for fans of larger ring gauge cigars. In fact, way back when, the original Serie R was among the first cigars to introduce the big 56+ ring gauge sticks to the market. Nearly 2 decades later, Serie R Esteli Maduro is offering even bigger sizes, along with bigger flavor!  This beast of a cigar begins with spicy Nicaraguan pepper across the palate. Soon, the earthy profile develops notes of cocoa and leather, soon offering a rich raw tobacco flavor. Though the Nicaraguan tobacco adds plenty of spice, the sweetness of the Connecticut Broadleaf beautifully rounds out the flavor bouquet. Serie R Esteli Maduro is unmistakably medium-bodied.

La Gloria Cubana has been around for decades. Not only that, many of us old school cigar nuts began our long journey with none other than La Gloria Cubana back in the day. Serie R Esteli Maduro can be thought of as a “new age” La Gloria. Not only will fans of the original brand appreciate the nostalgia, but fans of today’s big monster cigars will come to give much appreciation to this awesome new stick. Serie R Esteli Maduro pairs well with coffee, dark beer, or even red wine, and makes a great stick to enjoy with friends. If you were a fan of the original Serie R or the Serie R Esteli Natural, there’s entirely no doubt this cigar will blow your mind. La Gloria Cubana has come a long way since their humble beginnings. Though they may not have as many new releases annually as most other brands, you can take rest in knowing that just about anything that carries the La Gloria Cubana name will be nothing short of stellar, especially in the case of Serie R Esteli Maduro.
