La Gloria Cubana Serie R Esteli Maduro

Serie R Estelí Maduro is the dark‑leaf answer to the Estelí puro: same Nicaraguan backbone but dressed in a Connecticut Broadleaf that adds overt sweetness and a thicker mouthfeel. The wrapper’s oil and tooth telegraph a dessert‑leaning profile—dark chocolate and espresso at the core with a raisin or nutty sweetness lingering into the finish. Strength sits in the medium‑full range, and smoke production tends to be generous, favoring broad, toasted notes over delicate floral nuance. The contrast between Estelí structure and Broadleaf sweetness gives this maduro iteration a more dessert‑forward face while retaining the Nicaraguan spine.
