La Gloria Cubana Classic Glorias Petit Cigars
Few cigars have stood the test of time like the timeless masterpiece that is La Gloria Cubana Classic Glorias Petit. Once touted as "one of the most sought-after cigars in the world," this 92-rated gem has been around for decades and continues to arouse the palates of both long-time connoisseurs and new smokers alike. Newly renamed and flaunting updated packaging, LGC Classic was originally rolled in El Credito, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's tiny boutique in Little Havana. Now owned by Swedish Match and General Cigar, the brand is produced down in the Dominican Republic, and has expanded tremendously over the years. The same original recipe is used for the modern offering, however, with a filler blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican leaves, a Nicaraguan binder, and a gorgeous Ecuadorian wrapper. Few classic cigars have truly emulated the Cuban experience the way La Gloria Cubana Classic has, and that is doubtless a major reason it continues to be a mainstay in millions of humidors around the world.
Packed in classic Cuban style cedar chests of 25, today's La Gloria Cubana Classic wears a band quite similar to the original, just with a few modern updates. One big thing La Gloria Cubana has always been known for is the impeccable construction of their cigars. This remains true for this variety, as each and every cigar is rolled to perform, offering a smooth, easy draw and plenty of smoke to provide a phenomenal smoking experience. A burst of spicy white pepper at first light soon turns into a crisp, earthy core of aged tobacco flavor spiked with hints of cinnamon and cedar. Soft floral notes adorn the clean, spicy finish, and overall, La Gloria Cubana Classic finishes as a solid medium-full-bodied cigar. The 4 3/16" x 32 Glorias Petit is great to keep on hand for lunch breaks, dog walks, or any other time when a short break from reality is necessary.
This cigar has lasted so long in the cigar world for a reason. It is appropriate for anyone and everyone—beginners and experienced smokers alike. Medium-full-bodied and delightfully uncomplicated, La Gloria Cubana Classic just works. It pairs well with bourbon, dark rum, or medium-bodied beer and is great for any time of the day. Fans of classic sticks such as Punch, Partagas, or Romeo y Julieta will doubtless already be acquainted with the brand, but if not, why wait to give it a try? Classic, simple, and straight-forward, La Gloria Cubana Classic Glorias Petit may cause one to question what makes it so special. However, anyone that has tried it can tell you that there is simply nothing else like it. You just have to smoke it to understand.
