A new 6 x 56-sized La Gloria Cubana is the latest in General Cigar’s growing list of region editions. According to Frank Seltzer, the cigar—which debuted at ProCigar 2013 as a test blend—will head to the Western U.S. next week. Only 1,450 boxes of 20 will be released with pricing set at $8.00 or $160.00 per box.

The blend is described as stronger than La Gloria’s Serie R line. Rabito de Cochino debuted two years ago in the form of an event only Petit Lancero.

Late last year, the CAO Left Coast was released as a regional edition for the industry.
