La Gloria Cubana Intencion Gigante

A return-to-roots release for a brand that began at Miami's El Credito factory in 1972 under Ernesto Perez-Carrillo before moving to the Dominican Republic in the 1990s and being acquired by General Cigar in 1999. A Mexican San Andres wrapper over an Indonesian binder and a Honduran La Entrada/Nicaraguan Esteli filler blend gives dark cocoa, charred oak, black pepper, mixed nuts, and subtle woodiness, medium-to-full-bodied.
