老爹雪茄公司將要推出一款名為“承諾”（La Promesa）的新系列產(chǎn)品，產(chǎn)量不多,，最早曾經(jīng)在2016年初生產(chǎn)過一批,。下個月這款產(chǎn)品參加完IPCPR貿(mào)易展后將在全美國范圍內(nèi)上架。
老爹雪茄公司的總經(jīng)理阿爾西德斯·蒙特內(nèi)格羅（Alcides Montenegro）告訴記者,，2016年初上市的那一批只是小范圍的發(fā)布,，而這次是全美范圍內(nèi)的供貨。
這個系列的茄衣使用了深色的厄瓜多爾種植的哈瓦那羅薩多奧斯庫羅（Habano rosado oscuro）煙葉,，茄套,、茄芯都是加西亞家族在尼加拉瓜種植的煙葉,。該系列有五個尺寸,，每盒20支裝盒。五個尺寸分別是：大羅布圖,，54環(huán)徑,，5.5英寸，售價(jià)8.5美元,。公牛,，52環(huán)徑，6英寸,，售價(jià)9.2美元,。長矛，38環(huán)徑,，7.5英寸,，售價(jià)10美元。Petite（嬌?。?，50環(huán)徑，4.5英寸,，售價(jià)7.8美元,。大皇冠，48環(huán)徑,，5.5英寸,，售價(jià)8.2美元,。這個系列的產(chǎn)品是在尼加拉瓜的埃斯特利的老爹雪茄廠生產(chǎn)的。
新系列命名為“承諾”是指老爹雪茄公司的創(chuàng)始人何塞·佩平·加西亞（José "Pepín" García）2001年離開古巴前往尼加拉瓜之前對家人做出的承諾,。
何塞·加西亞的承諾是證明自己,，可以在古巴之外的雪茄行業(yè)做出點(diǎn)名堂，為他的家族爭光,。如今,，老爹雪茄公司在尼加拉瓜有煙葉田，在尼加拉瓜和美國的邁阿密都有雪茄廠,。何塞·加西亞正在履行著他曾經(jīng)做出的承諾,。
阿爾西德斯·蒙特內(nèi)格羅進(jìn)一步解釋說，作為移民,，內(nèi)心的承諾很重要,，當(dāng)你一個人離開家鄉(xiāng)，沒有家人和你同行,，只有承諾和夢想與自己相伴,。

My Father Cigars, the company behind Cigar Aficionado’s No. 2 cigar of 2018, is preparing to release a new cigar called La Promesa, meaning The Promise. According to My Father, La Promesa has only been available in small quantities, first appearing in early 2016 ahead of the FDA’s final deeming rule. Now it will have its official, nationwide release next month at the IPCPR trade show in Las Vegas.
“The brand is going to have a nationwide release at IPCPR show. We had a small release in early 2016,” Alcides Montenegro, general manager & creative director at My Father Cigars told Cigar Aficionado.
La Promesa is covered in a dark, Ecuador Habano rosado oscuro wrapper, with binder and filler tobaccos from the Garcia family farms in Nicaragua. Packaged in 20-count boxes, the line comes in five sizes: Robusto Grande, at 5 1/2 inches by 54 ring gauge ($8.50); Toro, 6 by 52 ($9.20); Lancero, 7 1/2 by 38 ($10.00); Petite, 4 1/2 by 50 ($7.80); and Corona Gorda, 5 1/2 by 48 ($8.20).
The “promise” in La Promesa refers to a promise that company patriarch José "Pepín" García made to his family before leaving his native country, Cuba, for Nicaragua.
“La Promesa, ‘The Promise,’ is referring to something very personal between Pepín and his family,” Montenegro said. “In 2001 when he left Cuba for the first time, completely alone, he made a promise to the rest of the family, who stayed in Cuba.”
Pepin’s promise was to prove himself, to make something of himself in the cigar industry outside of Cuba, and to honor his family and tobacco heritage. According to My Father, the company as it stands today—with its farms in Nicaragua and factories in both Nicaragua and Miami—is the fulfillment of that promise.
“For us, as immigrants, this is very important, because when one leaves his hometown, a lot of dreams, hopes and promises travel with oneself, especially when the rest of the family isn’t doing that trip with you,” Montenegro said.
My Father La Promesa is made at the My Father Cigars Factory, in Estelí, Nicaragua.
