当雪茄爱好者仔细打量当地零售商的货架时，对他们最喜欢的雪茄背后的卷茄师知之甚少。斯堪的纳维亚烟草集团的子公司，通用雪茄公司发布了一款古巴荣耀限量版产品，表达对卷茄师的敬意。这款产品名为伟大的遗产，7月初已经向美国零售商发货。

古巴荣耀的品牌经理科里·比尔兹利（Corey Beardsley）表示，我们的员工和烟草一样重要，卷茄师也是我们的家人，我们带着自豪和激情共同制作每一支高品质的雪茄。

这款限量版只有一个尺寸，双锥形的完美尺寸，62环径，7.25英寸。每支建议售价14.99美元。雪茄是在多米尼加共和国的信用雪茄厂（El Credito）生产的，这个雪茄厂其实是通用雪茄厂的一个卷茄室。雪茄是由至少具有15年工作经验的卷茄师手工卷制的，烟标还有卷茄师的签名。

雪茄是中等到浓郁强度，茄衣是深色的康涅狄格阔叶，茄套是尼加拉瓜烟叶，茄芯是多米尼加、尼加拉瓜的混合烟叶。雪茄每盒10支，内盖印刷画是两幅卷茄工人正在劳作的手的画面，一只手正在捆扎，一只手在卷茄芯。

雪茄一共生产了1900盒，STG的子公司锻造者雪茄公司（Forged Cigar Co.）负责分销。

When perusing the shelves at the local tobacconist, cigar fans know little, if anything at all, about the actual rollers behind their favorite smokes. Scandinavian Tobacco Group wants to give credit where credit is due. The company has released a new, limited-edition La Gloria Cubana cigar which gives a peek behind the curtain by including the signatures of the people who made it. Called La Gloria Cubana Gran Legado, the cigars began shipping to retailers earlier this month.

“La Gloria Cubana Gran Legado confirms that our people matter as much as our tobacco. These artisans are family, and we work together to make each high-quality cigar with pride and passion,” says La Gloria Cubana brand manager Corey Beardsley.

Made at El Credito (a gallery within the General Cigar Dominicana factory) in the Dominican Republic, Gran Legado is produced only by rollers with a minimum of 15 years experience. It comes in one size, a double-tapered Perfecto measuring an imposing 7 1/4 inches long by 62 ring gauge, and has a suggested retail price of $14.99 each. The blend is supposed to be medium- to full-bodied and consists of a dark Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and mix of Dominican Nicaraguan filler.

To further carry the theme of celebrating cigar rollers, the inner lid of each 10-count box features a photo of two pairs of hands—a buncher's and roller's—making a cigar. Only 1,900 boxes are being released.

La Gloria Cubana Gran Legado is distributed by Forged Cigar Co., a subsidiary of Scandinavian Tobacco Group.
