A year after expanding the availability of the Natural version of the same vitola, Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) has announced that it is adding the La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 8 Maduro next month.

The La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 8 Maduro is a 7 x 70 version of the La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro blend, which uses a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. It has an MSRP of $12.29 and is offered in boxes of 15 cigars.

Like most of STG’s La Gloria Cubana cigars, it is made at General Cigar Dominicana in the Dominican Republic.

La Gloria Cubana is distributed by Forged Cigar Co. in the U.S. It will go on sale on Feb. 1, 2023.
