# La Gloria Cubana Serie R Black Cigar

A bold departure from La Gloria Cubana's Dominican roots, Serie R Black is a Nicaraguan puro. Its blend begins with an audacious Jalapa ligero wrapper, and features tobacco from Jalapa and Esteli, with a Jalapa binder. Sourced from an independent grower, the Jalapa tobacco was fermented for an entire year, and aged for two and a half years, to deliver a refined smoking experience. Serie R Black is only available through internet/catalog retailers.
