E.P.卡里略將要推出一個深色茄衣的精華系列(Essence Series),,命名為E.P.卡里略馬杜羅,。這款新品計劃5月底或者6月初向零售商發(fā)貨。
這個系列的茄衣是墨西哥圣安德烈斯煙葉,,茄套是洪都拉斯煙葉,,茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉。埃內(nèi)斯托·佩雷斯·卡里略說,,我對這個特殊的煙葉混合配方感到興奮,,和我以前調(diào)配的馬杜羅版本的煙葉混合都不太一樣。
這個系列有三個尺寸,。羅布圖,,50環(huán)徑,5英寸,,售價9.25美元,。公牛,52環(huán)徑,,6英寸,,售價10美元。高達(dá),,60環(huán)徑,,6英寸,售價10.75美元,。
雪茄裝在木制包裝盒內(nèi),,每盒24支。從技術(shù)上說,,這個系列是精華系列的一部分,。但Essence這個詞沒有出現(xiàn)在包裝盒上,也沒有出現(xiàn)在煙標(biāo)上,。包裝盒一側(cè)有紅黑配色的標(biāo)識,,突出Maduro一詞。
埃內(nèi)斯托·佩雷斯·卡里略計劃未來三年內(nèi)推出六款不同煙葉混合配方的精華系列。每款都以茄衣煙葉命名,。首先是蘇門答臘系列,,已經(jīng)在美國PCA貿(mào)易展參展,這次將和馬杜羅系列同時發(fā)貨,。
蘇門答臘系列和馬杜羅系列有一些相似之處,,圓柱形茄身,口味中等強(qiáng)度,,內(nèi)含洪都拉斯煙葉,。埃內(nèi)斯托·佩雷斯·卡里略在以往的煙葉混合成份里比較少使用洪都拉斯煙葉。
今年晚些時候,,埃內(nèi)斯托·佩雷斯·卡里略將推出洪都拉斯系列,,未來幾年將陸續(xù)推出康涅狄格系列、尼加拉瓜系列,、喀麥隆系列,。這幾個產(chǎn)品線都隸屬于精華系列。
E.P. Carrillo is expanding its Essence series with a dark smoke called E.P. Carrillo Maduro. The new blend is going to ship at the end of this month or the beginning of June.
E.P. Carrillo Maduro has a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, a binder from Honduras and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua. “I’m very excited about this particular blend,” says Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, who makes the cigars in the Dominican Republic at Casa Carrillo. “It’s different from anything I’ve done before in a maduro.”
It comes in three sizes. The Robusto measures five inches long by 50 ring gauge, and has a suggested retail price of $9.25. Toro is 6 by 52, and sells for $10 and the 6-by-60 Gordo has a $10.75 price tag.
The cigars are packed in wooden boxes, each with 24 cigars. While this is technically part of the company’s Essence line, the word doesn’t appear on the box or the band. The boxes have large red-and-black bands along the left side that emphasize the word “maduro.”
The company intends to further expand the Essence line, ultimately creating a six-blend series within the next three years, each of them distinguished by their wrappers. The first was Sumatra, which debuted at the PCA tradeshow and will ship at the same time as Maduro.
The Sumatra and Maduro cigars have some similarities: each is round, intended to be medium in body, and contains Honduran tobacco, something E.P. Carrillo doesn’t often use in a cigar blend.
Later this year, E.P. Carrillo will release the Honduras version of Essence, followed by Connecticut, Nicaragua, and Cameroon blends in subsequent years.
