作為哈伯納斯珍藏系列的一員,，蒙特大金字塔（Gran Pirámides）終于在全球各地的零售店上架了,，從技術(shù)角度來(lái)說(shuō)，這款雪茄是2017年發(fā)布的,，但直到2019年,，零售商們才見(jiàn)到這款雪茄的真面目,。
這款大金字塔可以看做是蒙特2號(hào)的加強(qiáng)版，57環(huán)徑,，6.25英寸,，每盒20支裝。和珍藏系列的所有款式一樣,，這款蒙特大金字塔的包裝盒設(shè)計(jì)成一本書(shū)的模樣,，每次發(fā)布這種款式都稱(chēng)為“卷”。
倫敦的C·卡爾斯有限公司的總經(jīng)理米切爾·奧查特（Mitchell Orchant）說(shuō)，雖然姍姍來(lái)遲,，但是值得期待,。米切爾在英國(guó)有多家雪茄零售店，他還擁有位于英國(guó)切斯特的哈瓦那之家授權(quán)門(mén)店,。他說(shuō),，跟上古巴發(fā)布新品的步伐并不容易，每次我們不確定何時(shí)可以拿到新品,，最后當(dāng)我們拿到配貨時(shí),，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)的滿(mǎn)足不了需求。
這款書(shū)本珍藏版本只生產(chǎn)了2000盒,，價(jià)格也十分昂貴,。倫敦的詹姆斯·J·福克斯（James J.Fox）商店的售價(jià)是每盒4000英鎊,，折合5175美元,，也就是每一支蒙特大金字塔售價(jià)折合258美元。
古巴哈伯納斯公司是古巴雪茄的壟斷經(jīng)銷(xiāo)商,，2001年開(kāi)始發(fā)行書(shū)本珍藏系列,，基本上每年都會(huì)推出一款。2001年第一次發(fā)布的是庫(kù)阿巴所羅門(mén)（Cuaba Salamones）,。
The Cuban Montecristo Gran Pirámides, part of the limited Colección Habanos series, have finally started to reach retail shops across the globe—and they’re not cheap. Although this release is technically the 2017 edition, shop owners have only begun to see them this month.
At 6 1/4 inches by 57 ring gauge, the Montecristo Gran Pirámide is a longer, thicker and beefed up version of the classic Montecristo No. 2, (6 1/8 by 52). The cigars come 20 per box.
Like all cigars in the Colección Habanos series, the Gran Pirámides are packaged in a box that looks like a book. Each release is called a tomo, or volume.
“Overdue, but worth the wait,” said Mitchell Orchant, managing director of C.Gars Ltd. in London. He owns many shops throughout the U.K. including a La Casa del Habano shop in Chester, England. “It’s not easy to keep up with the new releases, as there seems to be little pattern to what we get and when we get them, but at least when we do finally get them, demand outstrips supply.”
Only 2,000 boxes were produced, and as you can probably surmise, a Cuban release this limited can be quite expensive. London’s James J. Fox store sells the Montecristo Gran Pirámides for ￡4,000 (about $5,175) per box, which averages out to around ￡200 per cigar, or about $258 each. That’s a pricey pirámide.
Habanos S.A., the Cuban monopoly and global distributor of Cuban cigars, started this program in 2001 with the Cuaba Salamones. It has released a new Colección Habanos cigar almost every year since.
