A true masterpiece from traditional Cuban brand...

La Gloria Cubana Rabito Cochino: Cuban cigar flavor meets American craftsmanship. The people of La Gloria Cubana have honed their craft by making cigars in the Dominican Republic for years now. And as one of the most popular brands in the world, it seems their formula has been working out. For this savory little blend, however, La Gloria moved production to the famed El Credito Cigar Factory in Miami.

We can start with the '92' rating the blend received, but I don’t put too much stock in ratings. What really gets me excited about this cigar is the dark, oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that graces the outside, and the combination of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. The savory result is a medium to full-bodied blend with bold notes of espresso, leather, and a hint of black pepper.
