The Britanica Extra is a medium-bodied cigar with wonderful aromas and flavour, considered to be quite similar to the LGC Glorioso - a fine middle ground cigar, and another a fantastic representation of the La Gloria Cubana brand. The vitola is one of the hardest to roll and only cigar rollers of the highest grade in Cuba are assigned the task to deliver a cigar requiring such precise construction.
It is the level of technique needed to create these wonderful vitolas that is cordially reflected in the admiration for the perfecto cigar. The flavour profile makes this cigar too delicate for a whisky pairing, but with cognac or as a late morning cigar with a coffee would be a perfect way to pair with a drink.

The name translates from French to English as “thousand flowers” and as you might expect it is a flower with a generously floral bouquet. The same dimensions as the most ubiquitous Petit Corona, this cigar has also been handmade and long-filler since its relaunch in 2002.
