La Gloria Cubana Corojo de Oro

The La Gloria Cubana brand is known for creating memorable blends using unique tobaccos. Their Corojo de Oro cigar is no different. Its name comes from the cigar’s wrapper quality binder that is made from crossing a Pelo de Oro seed with a Corojo 97-98. The resulting hybrid seed was aptly named “Corojo de Oro.” The leaf is then used to house filler leaves made of Brazilian Mata Fina, Dominican Piloto Cubano, and Nicaraguan Ometepe tobaccos, and finally covered by an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. This eclectic blend gives the cigar its medium-bodied yet bold profile.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Wrapper Color
Natural
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.
Wrapper
Ecuadorian Habano
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuadorian Habano wrapper has become one of the most used cigar wrappers in the market. Grown primarily by the Oliva family, this tobacco originated from Habano or H2000 seeds brought to Ecuador from Cuba. This leaf is rich and flavorful thanks to the temperate climate of Ecuador and the quality of its volcanic soil.
Binder
Dominican Corojo
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. Corojo seeds were brought to the Dominican Republic from Cuba to produce excellent quality wrapper and binder leaves.
Filler
Brazil Mata Fina
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Brazil produces rich, medium to strong, dark tobaccos with a sweet taste and aroma. Most of the cigar production is concentrated on the eastern coast of Brazil, in the state of Bahia. Mata Fina tobacco is grown in a region in the Reconcavo Basin of the State of Bahia called Mata Fina (which translated means "thin plants"). Tobacco was one of the natural crops in the region.
Dominican Republic Piloto Cubano

Manufacturer
El Credito Cigar Co.
In 1948, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Sr. purchased the El Credito cigar factory in Havana, Cuba. After the Cuban Revolution, he left Cuba and moved to Miami, FLA. There he purchased a small cigar factory and named it El Credito. In 1976, his son Ernesto Jr. took over the enterprise. In the 1990s, El Credito released the legendary La Gloria Cubana cigar. Eventually, El Credito was purchased by Scandinavian Tobacco Group, which still makes the La Gloria Cubana cigar in the Dominican Republic.
