History and Production Status
The Minutos was introduced to the market prior to 1960, making it one of the older established formats within the La Gloria Cubana portfolio. The cigar enjoyed a lengthy production run that spanned several decades before being discontinued during the 1980s.
As a regular production item, the Minutos was widely available to cigar enthusiasts during its production years. Its discontinuation marked the end of an era for this particular size, though the Franciscanos name and dimensions have occasionally appeared in special releases since then.
