Unlike its Dominican brethren, the La Gloria Cubana Serie R Black No. 48 is a Nicaraguan puro that employs leaves from this Central American country’s top tobacco growing regions. Its oily, ebony maduro Jalapa ligero wrapper is placed over a Jalapa binder, and its filler is composed of leaves from Jalapa and Esteli. The exquisite Jalapa tobacco has been fermented for one year and then aged for two and a half years to allow its strength and flavor profile to develop. This potent yet flavorful double corona offers a refined smoking indulgence with rich spicy, earthy, and peppery notes. The cigars are hand crafted in Nicaragua.
