La Gloria Cubana Turquinos is now available in selected outlets across the United Kingdom, including La Casas de Habanos, Havana Cigar Specialists, hotels, clubs and restaurants.
Arriving shortly after the UK introduction of the Medaille d’Or No.4, the Turquinos provides a stouter alternative to smokers who prefer a heavy ring gauge but enjoy the brand’s distinct medium-bodied blend.
These cigars are a classic Gordito size, measuring 5 ½” (141mm) x 52 ring gauge, and are presented in labelled boxes of 10 cigars.
La Gloria Cubana was established in 1885 and, after changing hands a few times over the years, production was transferred to the Partagas factory in 1954. This is an arrangement that continues to this day.
The Turquinos is named after Pico Turquino, Cuba’s highest mountain and part of the famous Sierra Maestra mountain range in the southeast of the island.
Once famous for its range of predominantly slim vitolas, the Medaille d’Or No.4 and the Turquinos are the only two cigars in the current classic portfolio. However, the fact that La Gloria Cubana has been selected to create Regional Editions no less than seventeen times by distributors around the world (including twice for the UK) is testament to the brand’s lasting appeal.
