Cigar Master Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. created the La Gloria Cubana Serie R cigars for smokers with a passion for a more full-bodied taste. Introduced in 1999, their larger sizes and ring gauges helped create today's tremendous demand for a fuller, richer-flavored smoke. This medium to full bodied Figurado was rated 87 (Very Good to Excellent) in Cigar Aficionado August 2007.
