What are the size and dimensions of La Gloria Cubana Deliciosos Edición Regional Cuba 2009?

The La Gloria Cubana Deliciosos Edición Regional Cuba measures 6 1/2 inches (166mm) in length with a 38 ring gauge, classifying it as a Lonsdale or Cervantes format. This slender, elegant vitola was specifically selected for the 2009 Cuban regional release, distinguishing it from the brand's regular production sizes. The 38 ring gauge represents a departure from thicker contemporary trends, offering a concentrated smoking experience that emphasizes wrapper leaf character and refined combustion properties typical of traditional Cuban craftsmanship.

What flavors and strength profile can you expect from La Gloria Cubana Deliciosos Edición Regional Cuba?

This 2009 release delivers a medium-bodied profile with pronounced cedar and leather foundations, evolving into subtle cocoa and toasted almond notes with aging. The slender 38 ring gauge intensifies the wrapper's influence, producing a drier smoke than thicker formats with pronounced mineral undertones and white pepper on the retrohale. Unlike regular production La Gloria Cubana cigars, the Deliciosos exhibits greater refinement and complexity attributed to superior tobacco selection reserved for Edición Regional releases, developing honeyed sweetness and floral nuances after 5+ years of humidor rest.

How rare is La Gloria Cubana Deliciosos Edición Regional Cuba and what should collectors know?

As a 2009 Edición Regional exclusive to Cuba, availability outside the island remains severely limited, making authenticated boxes highly sought after. Production quantities were restricted compared to global Edición Regional releases, with most stock absorbed by domestic Cuban consumption. Collectors should verify Habanos SA regional band authenticity, inspect box codes beginning with "ENE" or "SEP" 2009, and expect significant secondary market premiums. Storage conditions prove critical given the cigar's thin ring gauge susceptibility to wrapper damage. Boxes of 25 originally retailed significantly below current auction values, reflecting fifteen years of scarcity-driven appreciation.
