Artesanos de Tabaqueros

Created to showcase the artistry of La Gloria Cubana “tabaqueros” (artisan cigar makers), Artesanos de Tabaqueros cigars are a stunning embodiment of the time-honored craft of cigar making.  So exacting is the skill required to handcraft cigars of this complexity that Benji Menendez personally selected an elite group of just 18 master cigar makers, representing the cream of the crop from El Credito Cigar Factory in the Dominican Republic.

The History

Introducing La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Tabaqueros. Forty years after the El Credito Cigar Factory was established in Miami, this new collection spotlights the inextricable link of La Gloria Cubana with its heritage in Little Havana. A rarefied collection handcrafted at El Credito, the landmark Little Havana rolling gallery, Artesanos de Tabaqueros is a bespoke blend rolled by only an elite group of Cuban expatriate torcedors. Distinctive in its medium-to-full bodied flavor, Artesanos de Tabaqueros boasts spicy nuances that are evident with the first draw. The unique flavor is prevalent throughout, and its burn is slow and even.

The Cigar

Meticulously crafted to combine two different wrappers and two distinct tastes in one eye-catching cigar, Artesanos de Tabaqueros is a world-class smoke that opens to a rich and intriguing spice and ultimately reveals a depth of flavor that can only be achieved through a precise balance of unique and rare tobaccos. Hand selected from General Cigar’s extensive library of Dominican and Honduran tobaccos, the cigars are dressed in both a supple Connecticut Shade and hearty Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper. The blend is made solely of proprietary tobaccos, each aged five years or more.

The Experience

“To truly experience this gem of a cigar is to smoke it and taste the masterful artisanship that comes to life when one wrapper ends and the other begins in balance and harmony,” noted Michael Giannini, director of marketing for La Gloria Cubana.
