Forged Cigar Company has announced the La Gloria Cubana Los Gloriosos, a project that reunites Ernesto Perez-Carrillo with the La Gloria Cubana brand. Los Gloriosos will make its debut at the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. Los Gloriosos translates to “The Glorious Ones”.
When Ernesto Perez-Carrillo sold El Credito to Swedish Match back in 1999, he remained with the La Gloria Cubana brand for another decade before founding E.P. Carrillo. Since then, he has had two reunions with the La Gloria Cubana brand. Los Gloriosos now becomes the third one.

- La Gloria Cubana Colección Reserva (2017)
- La Gloria Cubana Los Gloriosos (2025)
The previous two reunion projects were limited edition ones, but Forged Cigar Company has said Los Gloriosos is a full-time offering. All three reunion projects were rolled at Tabacalera La Alianza, now Casa Carrillo.
Blend-wise, Los Gloriosos features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and a mix of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. It comes in three sizes: Toro, Gigante, and Grandioso – each in 20-count boxes.
“We are honored to welcome Ernesto Perez-Carrillo back to the house he built,” says John Hakim, brand manager for La Gloria Cubana. “Los Gloriosos by La Gloria Cubana is everything fans have come to love about the brand and more. Los Gloriosos lives up to the standards of the past, proving that sometimes you CAN come home again.”
The 2025 PCA Trade Show opens April 12, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Los Gloriosos ships to retailers on April 14th, 2025.
