La Gloria Cubana
This brand's history starts when El Credito Cigars, a company established in cuba in the early 1900's, was purchased by the Carrillo family in 1948. Forced into fleeing Cuba after the Communist Revolution, master blender Ernesto Carrillo reopened his factory in Little Havana, Miami in 1968. Then in 1980, his son, Ernesto Jr. blended a unique combination of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos to make La Gloria Cubana even more full-flavored and richer tasting. His efforts paid off, when, in 1992, Cigar Aficianado recognized the superiority of La Gloria Cubana, giving it a 90 rating. Almost overnight, the cigars became very popular and amidst the 1990's cigar boom Ernesto Perez-Carrillo built a new factory in the Dominican Republic. In 1999 Carrillo sold El Credito to Stockholm based Swedish Match AB. He remains the company's president. Once Little Havana's best kept secret, La Gloria Cubana has became a favorite of cigar smokers everywhere. Available in twenty-three sizes, in both Natural and Maduro, La Gloria Cubana's special blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan filler and binder become one with its beautifully aged Ecuadarian wrapper to deliver the full, rich flavor that is its trademark.
