La Gloria Cubana presents \u201cCriollo de Oro,\u201d a new, limited edition collection named after the hybrid varietal developed by crossing two Cuban seed tobaccos: the versatile Criollo \u201998 with the rare Cuban seed Pelo de Oro.<\/p>\n
The new, two-cigar collection is handcrafted by artisans at the El Credito Cigar Factory in Santiago, D.R. and will ship to retailers in October. Only 3,100 boxes in total will be released.<\/p>\n
La Gloria Cubana Criollo De Oro begins with the proprietary Criollo de Oro wrapper grown in the humid microclimate of Mao, Dominican Republic. There, in the island nation\u2019s picturesque Cibao Valley, the sungrown leaf matures with abundant natural oils that contribute to the cigar\u2019s uniquely robust characteristics. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The artisans of La Gloria Cubana have punctuated the Criollo de Oro wrapper with a Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran filler tobaccos.<\/p>\n
Steve Abbot, senior brand manager for La Gloria Cubana, commented, \u201cWe created Criollo de Oro in the La Gloria Cubana in the tradition of blending proprietary and traditional tobaccos to deliver exciting smoking experiences. Our artisans have delivered a cigar with a distinctive taste profile, crafted according to the brand\u2019s meticulous standards. We\u2019re confident that Criollo de Oro will appeal to a wide range of discerning premium cigar enthusiasts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Criollo de Oro features an art deco-inspired band that highlights the brand\u2019s iconic Lady La Gloria marque and carries the imagery to its elegant, dark wood-toned box.<\/p>\n
