La Gloria Cubana Colección Reserva

Colección Reserva reunited Ernesto Perez‑Carrillo with the La Gloria name and was produced at Tabacalera La Alianza as a compact, focused series. The Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan viso binder and Nicaraguan ligero/seco fillers yields a peppery top line—often apparent on the retrohale—backed by a cedar and leather backbone. Reviewers call out toasted‑nut and dried‑fruit sweetness with occasional creamy counterpoints that round the smoke without muting its edge. The line’s identity is rooted in format consistency—Robusto, Belicoso/Torpedo and Presidente, all at 54 ring—so the blend’s flavors hold together across sizes. In short: deliberate, classic La Gloria flavor with Perez‑Carrillo’s hand lending structure and balance.
