Every La Gloria Cubana Tapados is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
La Gloria Cubana traces its roots to the nineteenth century, and the marca has long stood for elegant, finely balanced Havanas rather than brute force. The Tapados carries that tradition in a striking pyramid silhouette, its tapered head opening into a generous 52 ring foot. Rolled with the brand’s signature blend of selected Vuelta Abajo leaf, it presents the kind of measured, cedary character that has earned La Gloria Cubana its loyal following among seasoned aficionados.
The opening third leans on creamy hay and warm cedar, with a gentle thread of leather running underneath and a faint citrus brightness on the finish. As the cigar settles into its second third, the profile deepens toward roasted nuts and a soft espresso bitterness, while a whisper of white pepper keeps the smoke lively on the palate. The final third gathers a touch more earth and woody richness, never tipping into heavy territory, which keeps the whole experience squarely in medium-bodied, classically Cuban terrain.
Like most well-made Havanas, the Tapados benefits from patient rest. Keep it in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a steady temperature near 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. A few months of settling tends to marry the cedar and leather more seamlessly, and many smokers find that a year or two of careful aging rounds the edges and coaxes out a sweeter, creamier core.
This is a cigar for the smoker who values poise over power. The pyramid format concentrates the smoke as it narrows toward the head, rewarding a slow, deliberate draw, so it suits an afternoon when there is no rush. Newcomers stepping up from milder sticks will find it approachable, while experienced palates will appreciate the layered, distinctly Cuban personality.
What is the strength of the La Gloria Cubana Tapados?
It sits in the medium range, full enough to feel substantial yet smooth enough to enjoy without overwhelming the palate.
How long does it take to smoke?
Given its 6.1 inch length and 52 ring gauge pyramid shape, expect a relaxed smoke of roughly 75 to 90 minutes at an unhurried pace.
How should I cut a pyramid cigar?
Use a sharp guillotine cut and take a little off the tapered head at a time. You can adjust the size of the opening to control the draw and concentration of the smoke.

Phenomenal smoke! Been enjoying Cuban cigars for years and this La Gloria Cubana Tapados is easily one of my favorites. Beautiful wrapper, flawless construction, and about 74 minutes of pure enjoyment. The flavor profile is incredible - leather and wood. Will definitely order more!
Decent cigar but not my favorite from Cuban Cigar. The La Gloria Cubana Tapados has good flavor - coffee and cream - but didn't wow me like other Cubans I've had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It's good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.
Great smoke for the price. This La Gloria Cubana Tapados offers excellent value for a premium Cuban Cigar cigar. Good flavor with notes of coffee and cream, even burn, and consistent quality. Perfect for a weekend smoke. Happy with this purchase!
The La Gloria Cubana Tapados is a respectable cigar. Nice notes of coffee and cream, decent construction. However, I found it a bit one-dimensional compared to other Cuban Cigar offerings. Not bad, but there are better options in this price range.
Best cigar I've had in a long time! Cuban Cigar really knocked it out of the park with the La Gloria Cubana Tapados. Rich flavor profile featuring cedar and spice, perfect draw, and excellent burn. Can't recommend this enough!
The La Gloria Cubana Tapados is a respectable cigar. Nice notes of cocoa and pepper, decent construction. However, I found it a bit one-dimensional compared to other Cuban Cigar offerings. Not bad, but there are better options in this price range.
