Experience Glorious Pairings
Something as smooth and decadent as Los Gloriosos requires an equally bold and complementary drink pairing. But to understand how to pair the blend, you have to understand the blend itself:
Los Gloriosos’ Ecuadorian Habano wrapper brings spicy characteristics and rich flavors that deliver peppery notes of leather, espresso and a deep irreplicable richness.
The dual binder of Nicaraguan Jalapa and Estelí delivers complex flavors of subtle sweetness and a creamy, earthy aroma that Jalapa Valley tobacco is famous for, balanced by the leathery notes of chocolate, coffee, and pepper from Estelí.
The fillers of Nicaraguan Jalapa/Condega and Corojo ‘99 seed Dominican boast a variety of flavorful notes. The Nicaraguan Jalapa delivers smooth, aromatic, and natural cocoa flavors balanced by Nicaraguan Condega’s bold, earthy notes. The Corojo '99's delicate yet striking flavors round out the blend with notes of leather and spice.
Together, these flavors create a rich, full-bodied smoking experience that lends itself to a variety of drink pairings.
Bourbon
The velvety and subtly sweet caramel flavors of bourbon are complemented by the soft notes of cocoa and leather from our Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, and Nicaraguan Estelí binder, making for a perfectly blended experience.
Port
The rich and toasty fruity flavor of a nice port is deepened not only by Los Gloriosos’ beautiful wrapper, but also by the Nicaraguan Jalapa tobacco.
Espresso
The dark and bitter taste of espresso enhances the cigar’s notes of spice and cocoa, stemming from both the wrapper, the Estelí binder, the Corojo ‘99 seed Dominican filler tobacco.
