The franchise shops of La Casa del Habano recently received a beautiful addition to the cigars sold exclusively in their network of stores; The “Glorias” by La Gloria Cubana. The 20 cigars come in a stunning cream and blue lacquered box, a quality usually reserved for the higher end releases from Habanos. The wooden box is then housed in a blue velvet slip case and an outer branded cardboard box. It should be noted that officially, this was a 2021 release, but boxes were only seen in late 2022 and early 2023.
Let’s have a look at the specs:
CIGAR SIZE: 49 x 6 1/8
FACTORY NAME: Flechas
BOX COUNT: 20 cigars
The Grand Corona has the La Casa Del Habano double band, and are mild to medium in strength profile and offer a wonderful vitola within the Gloria Cubana brand.
Some fun facts!
