La Gloria Cubana Intencion Gran Robusto Cigar (5×54 / Box of 20)

Compact Power with Classic Character

The La Gloria Cubana Intencion 5×54 delivers the bold identity of the Intencion line in a shorter, more concentrated format built for smokers who appreciate rich flavor without committing to an extended session. Presented in a refined box of 20, the cigar combines dark, traditional packaging with the unmistakable visual presence of a premium San Andrés wrapper. Its compact proportions create a denser smoking profile while maintaining the layered complexity expected from La Gloria Cubana. The result is a cigar that feels substantial, balanced, and purpose-built for fuller-bodied enthusiasts.

Honduran Craftsmanship

Handcrafted in Honduras, the La Gloria Cubana Intencion 5×54 is blended to emphasize richness, structure, and consistency. The cigar features a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper surrounding a Nicaraguan binder and carefully selected Nicaraguan filler tobaccos.

The shorter 5×54 format intensifies the interaction between wrapper and filler, producing a focused flavor profile with steady combustion and dense smoke output. The San Andrés wrapper contributes earthy sweetness and cocoa depth, while the Nicaraguan core delivers spice, cedar, and body throughout the smoke. Construction is firm and reliable with an even burn line and smooth draw from start to finish.

Flavor Profile

Strength: Medium-Full to Full

• Initial Notes: Black pepper, espresso, earth, and dark cocoa immediately establish a rich opening profile
• Mid-Palate Notes: Leather, roasted nuts, cedar, and subtle sweetness begin to develop through the core of the smoke

The shorter format creates a more direct flavor delivery, allowing the blend’s heavier characteristics to remain present throughout the smoking experience.
