# La Gloria Cubana Artesanos Retro Especiale Cigar

This blend of traditional Nicaraguan and Dominican ligero is peppered with flavors, each amplified by a double binder of bold Nicaraguan and Mexican leaves.

True to their commitment to innovation, Michael Giannini and Team La Gloria developed a new wrapper solely for this collection. By crossbreeding a Connecticut seed and cultivating it in Honduras, they yielded a maiden crop of hearty, golden wrapper leaves, noteworthy for their versatile flavor. The blend of traditional Nicaraguan and Dominican ligero is peppered with proprietary Nicaraguan and Dominican tobacco, and amplified with a double binder of bold Nicaraguan and Mexican leaves. Despite its demure golden wrapper, Artesanos Retro Especiale is a bold, hearty smoke.
