La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 6

Cigar Intel

La Gloria Cubana Serie R helped redefine what a full-bodied cigar could be when it launched, and the No. 6 remains a top pick for seasoned smokers who crave serious flavor and craftsmanship.

Rolled in the Dominican Republic using a robust blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos, the Serie R is cloaked in an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that brings both spice and sweetness to the mix. The No. 6 format (5.9 x 60) gives this cigar plenty of room to open up during the smoke, starting off peppery and intense, then easing into notes of roasted nuts, cedar, and a touch of baking spice.

Construction is spot-on, with a firm roll and an easy draw despite the larger ring gauge. This cigar performs best when you’ve got the time to appreciate its layers, maybe paired with an aged rum or a strong cup of coffee.

Whether you're winding down after a long day or making this your main event, the Serie R No. 6 holds its own.
