Standard Production Cigars

 Habanos S.A. showed off the new La Gloria Cubana Turquinos, a 5 6/11 (141mm) x 50 parejo size known as the Gordito. This vitola has been used for dozens of previous Cuban cigars, it is probably best known as the vitola of the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial.

The Turquinos will be offered in 10-count boxes. Given how it’s described, it is likely to be a regular production offering.

La Gloria Cubana is a little-known jewel from Cuba. Founded in 1885, its name alone clearly defines its origin. For over a century it has attracted a small but loyal following amongst the most knowledgeable cigar smokers. The Medaille d’Or No. 4 is an exquisitely thin vitola measuring 6” (152mm) x 32 ring gauge and is presented in a varnished 8-9-8 box of 25 cigars and is sure to excite many aficionados who favour more slender sizes or those trying a Habano for the first time. Medium bodied with a blend made from tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo zone and using the Tripa Larga Totalmente a Mano method (long filler totally by hand).
