La Gloria Cubana brand was created in 1885 by the Sociedad Cabañas y Castro, then bought twenty years later in 1905 by José F. Rocha, who manufactured the brand from his factory at 364 Miguel Street in Havana. After Rocha died in 1954, the Cifuentes family bought both La Gloria Cubana and Bolivar from Rocha's former company. Production was moved to the Partagás Factory, where it's still produced today, and became very popular as an export Brand. With a vitolario made "Totalmente a mano con Tripa Larga", its strength can be classified as medium. Its blend, made with filler and binder from the Vuelta Abajo area in the Pinar del Río region, is very balanced and provides varied nuances and aromas.
