The La Gloria Cubana Serie R Black is one of the best maduro cigars that I have had the pleasure to smoke. I'm usually not a one-brand loyalist but I always find myself coming back to this brand for its huge 64-ring gauge and exceptionally complex taste. The full-flavored blend is easy on the palate, never overwhelming, and delivers an abundance of chocolate, leather, spice, and earth flavors compounded with a sweet, heavenly aroma. La Gloria Cubana Serie R Black is the perfect premium cigar to spend a couple of hours with while hanging out with good friends and enjoying a casual cocktail or two.
