History and Production
The Cetros entered the La Gloria Cubana portfolio prior to 1960, making it one of the older established formats within the brand's catalog. Throughout its production run, the cigar maintained traditional Cuban manufacturing standards as a fully handmade product.
Production of the Cetros continued until the early 1990s, when Habanos S.A. made the decision to discontinue this particular vitola. The cigar's departure marked the end of an era for enthusiasts who had come to appreciate its specific dimensions and smoking characteristics.
Packaging
The Cetros was presented in semi boîte nature boxes containing 25 cigars, a packaging format that aligned with La Gloria Cubana's traditional presentation style. The cigars featured the brand's standard band A design.
