La Gloria Cubana Eighth Street
First rising to prominence during the great cigar boom of the early '90s, La Gloria Cubana became the hottest attraction for those in the know upon receiving multiple high ratings in Cigar Aficionado's premier issue. LGC cigars were ultra boutique, being crafted by the now-famed Master Blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo at his family's small storefront factory on Calle Ocho (Eighth Street)—the most prominent street in Miami's famed Little Havana neighborhood.
Fast forward 30 years and La Gloria Cubana cigars are now rolled in the DR at the El Credito Cigar Factory—a unique "factory within a factory" located within the General Cigar Dominicana facility. Itching to get back to the brand's humble roots, La Gloria Cubana partnered with the last remaining cigar factory on Calle Ocho: El Titán de Bronze. This fan-favorite boutique is located (literally) across the street from the original El Credito factory, bringing La Gloria Cubana full circle with the La Gloria Cubana Eighth Street cigar.
Named for Calle Ocho, the LGC Eighth Street cigar is expertly rolled using an Ecuadorian Habano oscuro wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and fillers of Nicaragua and the DR. This is a near-full-bodied recipe that boasts top-tier craftsmanship and a complex flavor profile of oak, leather, Cuban espresso, and classic spice.
