La Gloria Cubana Serie R Pyramid – Bold Full-Bodied Power in a Flavor-Intensifying 6×60 Pyramid
This striking 6×60 Pyramid is designed for full-bodied cigar connoisseurs who crave a dynamic, extended smoke that concentrates intensity as it burns—perfect for evening indulgence, after-dinner sessions, or when you want a cigar that evolves dramatically over 75–90 minutes. The tapering shape delivers broad, rich smoke at the start before funneling flavors for a potent, focused finish, hitting immediately with earthy depth, spice kick, and hints of chocolate and coffee right from the light.
Experience the La Gloria Cubana Serie R Pyramid
Our staff has found the Serie R Pyramid to be a favorite large-format powerhouse in the La Gloria Cubana lineup—its unique pyramid vitola showcases the blend’s bold character at El Credito factory with exceptional rolling skill and reliable performance. The oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper promises upfront richness and spice on the cold draw. When smoked, the first third opens broadly with intense earth, black pepper, spice, and chocolate, layered over coffee undertones for a full, smoke-heavy draw that sets a commanding tone. By the second third, as the ring gauge narrows, the profile concentrates beautifully—deepening coffee and earth while sweet woods, subtle floral hints, and creamy spice emerge for balanced complexity and cool combustion. In the final third, it finishes potent with intensified chocolate, lingering pepper, and robust leather notes, burning evenly to a solid nub with voluminous smoke and no harsh drop-off—true testament to the blend’s aging and craftsmanship.
