La Gloria Serie R #8
La Gloria Serie R #8
La Gloria Cubana built the Serie R reputation on oversized vitolas with a bold, spicy profile, and the La Gloria Serie R #8 pushes that idea to its biggest standard expression. Handcrafted at El Credito in the Dominican Republic, this 7 x 70 cigar uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos to deliver the rich, full-flavored character that made the line a longtime favorite among smokers who gravitate toward substantial ring gauges.
The scale of the #8 gives this cigar a commanding presence without turning it into a novelty. Expect a hearty smoke marked by pepper, earth, cedar, and a touch of natural sweetness, with the broad format helping the blend show its depth in a measured, unhurried way. Given its 7 x 70 size, a relaxed smoking pace can easily put it in the roughly 100 to 140 minute range.
