Miami's New La Gloria
Posted: Monday, May 05, 2008
Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s six-year project to create a new Miami-made cigar is nearing completion. La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Miami should go on sale next month.
“We’ve been producing them since January. We’re basically waiting on packaging,” said Perez-Carrillo of the cigars, which he originally hoped to debut in May.
The cigars are stronger than typical La Glorias, made by a tiny workforce in Miami and finished with dark, oily Nicaraguan wrappers grown from Cuban seed by the Plasencia family.
For more on this story, and an exclusive first taste of an Artesanos de Miami, see tomorrow's Cigar Insider.
