There’s a new limited edition collection on the way from La Gloria Cubana. Criollo de Oro is named after the hybrid varietal developed by crossing two Cuban seed tobaccos–the versatile Criollo ’98 with the rare Cuban seed Pelo de Oro. These new cigars will be handcrafted at the El Credito Cigar Factory located in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
“We created Criollo de Oro in the La Gloria Cubana in the tradition of blending proprietary and traditional tobaccos to deliver exciting smoking experiences. Our artisans have delivered a cigar with a distinctive taste profile, crafted according to the brand’s meticulous standards. We’re confident that Criollo de Oro will appeal to a wide range of discerning premium cigar enthusiasts,” commented Steve Abbot, senior brand manager for La Gloria Cubana.
Criollo de Oro features a proprietary Criollo de Oro wrapper grown in the humid microclimate of Mao, Dominican Republic, a hearty Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran filler tobaccos. Together, these tobaccos come together to form a medium-bodied smoke with notes of sweetness, cedar and citrus. The aroma is slightly spicy, only adding to the unique smoking experience of the cigar.
The La Gloria Cubana Criollo de Oro will be available in two sizes: a Toro (5 3/4 x 54) and Churchill (7 x 48). Each cigar will range in price from $10.49 to $10.99. These cigars will begin showing up in stores this October. Only 3,100 boxes in total will be released of this cigar.
