La Gloria Cubana or “The
Glory of Cuba” brand, introduced in 1885, is one of the oldest Cuban brands.
Made only by hand (hecho a mano), the La Gloria is available in a variety of
mostly long, lanky sizes.
Developed by José Rocha and
Rafael García, the brand got off to a good start thanks to tireless promotion by
Pepin Fernández, owner of the Romeo y Julieta brand, who helped his friends
introduce the La Gloria Cubana and El Crepúsculo brands
overseas.
