2022年STG曾經(jīng)根據(jù)消費者調(diào)查的意見發(fā)布過一款名為古巴榮耀“社會”的限量版雪茄,。今年,，STG再次根據(jù)調(diào)查建議發(fā)布了社會II（ Society II），這款雪茄預(yù)計11月15日開始向零售商發(fā)貨,。
2022年的“社會”完全采用洪都拉斯煙葉卷制,，而今年的社會II采用了多國煙葉,。茄衣是洪都拉斯煙葉，茄套是厄瓜多爾蘇門答臘煙葉,，茄芯是多米尼加,、尼加拉瓜的混合煙葉。今年的尺寸不同于去年,，今年的版本50環(huán)徑,，6英寸,，比去年的公牛（54環(huán)徑、6.25英寸）略細,、略短,。去年的版本售價是8.99美元，今年的版本的售價高了很多,，折合每支12.99美元,。
雪茄還是在多米尼加共和國信用（El Credito）工作室卷制的，這個工作室座落于多米尼加通用雪茄廠（General Cigar Dominicana factory）內(nèi),，可以視為是通用雪茄廠內(nèi)的一個雪茄生產(chǎn)車間。
去年的“社會”每盒是20支包裝,，今年改為每盒10支包裝,，根據(jù)STG的說法，今年這個版本的煙葉混合配方到外包裝,，到雪茄的尺寸,，都綜合聽取了古巴榮耀的消費者的意見。
古巴榮耀的品牌助理經(jīng)理科里·比爾茲利（Cory Beardsley）說,，這是第二款“社會”系列雪茄,，我們?yōu)橄M者創(chuàng)造了一種抽茄體驗，反映了古巴榮耀的愛好者的集體偏好,。這次新品的推出表達了這些消費者試圖在雪茄里尋找的元素,，我們很高興能把這款雪茄帶到他們的生活中。

La Gloria fans spoke and Scandinavian Tobacco Group listened—again. For the second time, La Gloria Cubana’s parent company STG turned to La Gloria fans for input, and now the crowd-sourced La Gloria Cubana Society II is heading to retailers tomorrow.
The first La Gloria Cubana Society cigar, which was made entirely from Honduran tobacco leaves, was released in 2022. This year’s collaboration has a more multinational blend, rolled with a Honduran wrapper, Ecuadoran Sumatra binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. It’s a different size as well, measuring 6 inches by 50 ring gauge. While it’s slightly shorter and thinner than last year’s release, it’s considerably more expensive, with a suggested retail price of $12.99 (last year’s larger cigar was only $8.99).
The La Gloria Cubana Society Cigar II is produced by hand in the Dominican Republic at El Credito, a rolling gallery within the larger General Cigar Dominicana factory.
The new La Glorias come in 10-count boxes. According to STG, La Gloria fans were consulted on everything from blend to packaging to the size of the cigars.
“For this, our second ‘Society Cigar,’ we have created a smoking experience that reflects the collective preferences of La Gloria Cubana fans,” said Cory Beardsley, assistant brand manager for La Gloria Cubana. “This special release speaks to what this elite group of smokers currently looks for in a cigar, and we’re proud to bring it to life for them.”
