Following up the La Gloria Cubana Serie S, the brand introduced the Maduro version this year. It is the first time the La Gloria Cubana brand has used a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper. The cigars are made at the El Credito factory. The hefty cigar is characterized by a bold, broad and flavorful profile.
The cigar opens with toasted bread and cocoa, later joined by leather, black pepper and walnut. Coffee and wood aromas are added in the second half. The smoke becomes spicier and balsamic towards the end.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
