I had never smoked this brand before, in fact I hadn't even heard of it, so I had no expectations lighting up. I was pleasantly surprised. Cigars International says that: "La Gloria Cubanas offer a delicious balance of Brazilian, Dominican, Mexican and Nicaraguan filler, together with a dark Ecuadorian wrapper." My guess is that this is one of the many cigar makers that migrated from Cuba when Castro came to power and set up shop somewhere else, but I could be wrong.
The smoke lasted an hour and twenty minutes at a very moderate, even passive rate, just the way I like to smoke. This is an exceptional duration as the cigar was only a 4.8 x 52. That's mighty short, for such a long burn. I ordered it in a sampler pack of "mild" cigars. Mild it was, but not bland. I find that some "mild" cigars are bland. This La Gloria Cubana was rich, even a little sweet. The draw was quite tight, which I like. In fact it was so tight that the ash did not fall off until it was over two inches long. I will definitely be smoking more of these, as I will be seeking them out in the future.
