Size: 6″ x 52 Vitola: Toro Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra Origin: Dominican Republic From the Vault: I’ve been pulling a lot of old cigars out from the bottom if the humi-trunk, and this old LGC was grabbed… The Miami-made La Gloria Cubanas were one of the most popular cigars around during the Cigar Boom, but now [...]
