La Gloria Cubana Serie R Black Maduro

Since earning a spot on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of 2014, La Gloria Cubana Serie R Black has grown into one of the most celebrated Maduro blends at its price point. The follow-up to the 91-rated Serie R Esteli arrives in three big-ring-gauge shapes, each wrapped in perfectly aged Connecticut Broadleaf that's nearly coal-black.

Pepper, earth, coffee, and a creamy sweetness only well-aged Broadleaf can produce stack up through a deep, full-bodied smoke. Serie R fans and Maduro lovers chasing ultra-rich Nicaraguan character will find this one hits every mark without overshooting the budget.
