La Gloria Cubana Intencion Gran Toro (6×52)

La Gloria Cubana was once Little Havana’s best kept secret — the original boutique cigar brand, built around fuller-bodied smokes at prices that let everyone in on the experience. Over the years, as the brand grew, some of that founding philosophy got lost in the noise. Intención is La Gloria Cubana’s answer to that — a deliberate, unapologetic return to what the brand was built on. Inspired by the legendary Wavell, the cigar that helped ignite the first cigar boom, Intención was designed with one purpose: to deliver a bold, satisfying, quality smoke at a price that respects the smoker. Nothing flashy. Nothing gimmicky. Just excellent tobacco, excellently made.

The Toro is a 6×52 rolled at STG Estelí in Nicaragua, wrapped in a dark Mexican San Andrés leaf over an Indonesian binder and a four-component filler of Nicaraguan Estelí Ligero and Viso alongside Honduran Jamastran Viso and La Entrada Ligero — a blend that layers the deep, earthy complexity of two great tobacco regions into a medium-full smoke built around bold spiced chocolate, rich leather, earth, and a long finish that reminds you exactly why La Gloria Cubana earned its reputation in the first place. Under $7 a stick. Everything is intentional here.
