#  Society Stories Discover the Rarities

### Hard to Find, Impossible to Forget

After resting for four years, our La Gloria Cubana 2023 TAA Exclusive has finally arrived.

Handmade in Honduras, this rare cigar is made with a refined mix of seco and ligero long-filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, and sheathed in a Honduran Habano binder. The final layer is a rich Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that adds a subtle spice to the experience.

We began aging this unique blend in 2019, giving it years to mature. The result is an incredibly complex smoke, brimming with savory notes.

The 2023 TAA Exclusive is an exceptionally limited cigar, exclusive to retailers that are members of the Tobacconists’ Association of America—a group of top tobacconists that discuss issues within the industry.

With only 850 boxes released, finding our 2023 TAA will be an experience in itself.

#### Get to know 60 Second Stogies

Meet our June LGC Society Members of the Month, Brett Epps and David Stefanski! The two friends have enjoyed cigars for years and even have a podcast together called @60secondstogies, where they give one-minute cigar reviews on Instagram.
