Artesanos de Obelisco

The History

Created as a tribute to the virtuoso cigar makers at El Credito’s “fabrica” in Santiago, Dominican Republic, La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Obelisco is the third installment in the Artesanos trilogy. Inspired by the iconic Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration situated high atop the center of Santiago, La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Obelisco heightens the innovation that has become a trademark of the Artesanos series.

The Cigar

Handcrafted of a blend of Dominican and double Nicaraguan ligero, this ground breaking figurado is a feat of cigar-making artistry, for it replicates the shape of the monument that inspired its creation. Novel construction evident at the first blush is bolstered by a triumph of superior blending by Yuri Guillen, Michael Giannini and Rick Rodriguez, aka Team La Gloria Cubana. A cigar of such ingenuity demands an equally alluring package.  In this, Team La Gloria Cubana developed a wooden demilune box, a first for the premium cigar category.  This visually stunning presentation spotlights 25 of the 5” x 44 x 57 Obelisco cigars.

The Experience

When the blend combines with the Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper and is exalted by its obelisk shape, this firecracker of a cigar “pops” with balanced, full-bodied flavor.
