La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo Robusto

The La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo is made at the storied El Credito factory in the Dominican Republic. The blend gets its name from a special leaf of tobacco known as Medio Tiempo. This rare tobacco leaf occurs when two additional leaves sprout above the plant’s highest priming, allowing the tobacco to capture the lion’s share of sunlight, nutrients and taste characteristics. The blend begins with hand-selected USA Havana Connecticut Medio Tiempo, Dominican Piloto Cubano, Nicaraguan leaves from Estelí, and Honduran La Entrada filler tobaccos along with a Connecticut Broadleaf binder. Topping the blend is a rich Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Tasting notes include bold layers of coffee, leather, and nuts with hints of butter and savory spices. La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo is another exceptional blend in the La Gloria portfolio of premium cigars.

La Gloria Cubana is a storied brand with a rich history, and it is recognized the world over as one of the finest premium cigar brands. The brand was reincarnated for American consumers by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. In the mid 1990s, the brand developed a cult following and set them on a trajectory for success. The brand grew so quickly in fact, that Perez-Carrillo, opened a new factory in the Dominican republic. With his meteoric growth during the cigar boom, he sold his brand and factory to General Cigar in 1999, but he continued to oversee the factory and blending for another decade before handing over the reins to his team and retiring (at least for some time). La Gloria Cubana continues to be a leader in the industry that produces distinct, Cuban inspired blends that continue to captivate the hearts and minds of cigar smokers everywhere.
