La Gloria Cubana Habana - Original Advertisement
Embossed lithograph advertisement for La Gloria Cubana Habana cigars, printed by Compañia Litografica de la Habana. The image, printed in lush colors, depicts the Greek gods Adonis, Athena, and Hermes. Two pinholes to left margin, light staining and creases to lower edge, else in fine condition. 9.75 x 7.75 inches (24.8 x 19.7 cm.)."La Gloria Cubana began as a small Cuban brand in 1885...The brand was purchased in 1905 by José Rocha and then again in 1954 when the Cifuentes family purchased the line along with Rocha’s popular Bolivar brand. It is still produced today in the Partagas factory in Havana. Following the revolution, production on the Cuban La Gloria ceased for unknown reasons. The brand reemerged in the mid 1960s where it was rolled on a more limited basis. The modern day Cuban La Gloria is a true artisanal cigar, emphasizing small batches and quality above all else. It has been praised for its perfectly balanced profile and its array of more mid sized cigars." (JR Cigars) (19988)
