La Gloria Cubana Los Gloriosos cigars are made at the Casa Carrillo Cigar Factory in the Dominican Republic, and were blended by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan Jalapa binder, and a blend of premium filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. These cigars became available during April 2025 in three sizes, including a Toro (6 x 50) priced at $8.99 per stick that is the subject of this review.

The sample La Gloria Cubana Los Gloriosos Toro cigar began with a combination of rich and bold flavors, with earth, leather and spice being the most noticeable. The smoke had a smooth and creamy texture for being a fuller bodied cigar, and was not overpowering. The flavors were complex and balanced, and remained pretty consistent during the first 15 minutes when I ashed the cigar for the first time. At this point, leather started to become the predominate flavor, with earth and spice playing more of a supporting role. After another 20 minutes, I ashed the cigar for the second time, and the flavors were starting to become just a little less bold by this point, with the smoke being near the upper end of the medium-to-full bodied range.
At the 50-minute mark, I ashed the cigar for the third and final time. The flavors remained consistent and the cigar lasted for another 20 minutes, making for a total smoke time of 70 minutes down to 1½ inches remaining. The LGC Los Gloriosis Toro was very enjoyable from start to finish, and did not require any relights nor touch-ups. This was one of the most even-burning LGC cigars that I have ever smoked. It was was very well-made and had a great draw and held a long ash.
La Gloria Cubana Los Gloriosos cigars are recommended for seasoned connoisseurs, but some advanced mainstream cigar smokers might enjoy them, too. I rate it with a superior 4.25 points on a 5-point scale. La Gloria Cubana cigars are distributed by the Forged Cigar Company, which is part of STG (Scandinavian Tobacco Group) as is General Cigar, which previously distributed the brand.
