La Gloria Cubana was sold to General Cigar Company by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo in 1999 for an undisclosed sales price.
Production was moved to the Partagás Factory, where it's still produced today, and became very popular as an export brand.
[citation needed] After the Revolution, the brand and factory were seized and stolen by the new Castro regime and new communist government.
They stopped production of La Gloria Cubana for several years, until around 1965 when the brand was apparently resurrected at the old Partagás Factory.
It is produced in smaller quantities than other brands and maintains its popularity with connoisseurs, the Médaille d'Or No.
