You Have Questions. She Has Answers.
We asked La Gloria Cubana fans what they wanted to know about The Lady. Here are the answers to your burning questions.
What’s the next big thing?
While we can’t reveal all our cards, we can say that Los Gloriosos was just the beginning. We’re making the journey to get back to our roots, further connecting with our heritage and what we set out to do. We’re returning to bold, full-bodied blends that captivated La Gloria Cubana fans and established us as the Original Boutique Cigar brand many years ago.
Will you ever bring back Series N?
There are no current plans to bring back our Series N; however, we offer a variety of other cigars with the same qualities as a Series N. This blend was known for its dark, rich wrapper with Nicaraguan influence and a full-body or medium-full strength smoke. When you find yourself looking for a cigar that checks those boxes, we have a few suggestions:
Serie R Black Maduro: Full flavor, spice, and a bold dark wrapper.
Serie R Estelí Maduro: Forward flavors of dark chocolate and espresso with a touch of sweetness, especially in the darker, bolder vitolas.
Estelí: Bold and full-bodied with a Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper and notes of cedar and spice.
Would you ever consider a Lancero?
As much as we love a Lancero, in an attempt to get back to the core of La Gloria Cubana, we are currently focused on crafting large ring gauges that we were initially known for. While we don’t have a traditional Lancero (7–7.5 x 38), we do offer a few cigars with smaller dimensions. For example, our El Perrito (5.5 x 38) could be considered similar to a short or Petit Lancero, and our Glorias (5.5 x 43) is akin to a short or Petit Lonsdale.
What are the rarely-seen LGCs?
Aside from our wide portfolio of acclaimed cigars, we also have a variety of highly rated limited-edition offerings, like our Rabito de Cochino. And if you haven’t yet explored some of our regularly produced standouts, such as the Torpedo No.1, they’re well worth your time.
That spirit of creating something special carries through to collaborations as well. When Ernesto Perez-Carrillo returned to work with us on La Gloria Cubana Colección Reserva, the result was a release that marked more than just a cigar—it symbolized 25 years of brand success when it debuted in 2017.
As Perez-Carrillo himself explains, “La Gloria Cubana Colección Reserva is based on a blend I created in the 1980s, after I took over our Little Havana factory from my father. I am very proud of this cigar because it complements the other blends in the line and has a taste profile that will appeal to people who have smoked La Gloria since the brand first hit it big in the 1990s."
The HALFWHEEL Review Is In!
RATED: 90
Although Los Gloriosos is new to the scene, it's already making waves. HALFWHEEL says the flavors of Los Gloriosos “presented themselves very easily and rarely got close to becoming overwhelming,” making it “one of the most compelling new cigars” they’ve smoked.
Los Gloriosos’ bold flavor portfolio and medium-full body, paired with the touch of the Godfather of La Gloria Cubana, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, makes this blend one for the books. Read the full review below:

September Celebrity Spotlight: Raul Julia
Cigar aficionados aren’t the only ones who love La Gloria Cubana; celebrities do too!
Iconic actor Raul Julia, known for his role as Gomez Addams on the infamous Addams Family franchise, said in a Cigar Aficionado article that his character “smokes La Glorias.
