一個(gè)已經(jīng)停產(chǎn)多年的老的古巴雪茄品牌重生了,，醇香雪茄公司（Pure Aroma Cigars）復(fù)刻了英國(guó)貴族這個(gè)老品牌,，計(jì)劃4月中旬向零售商發(fā)貨,。
20世紀(jì)初,，在古巴生產(chǎn)雪茄的古斯塔沃·博克（ Gustavo Bock）將英國(guó)貴族這個(gè)品牌引入美國(guó)市場(chǎng),，后來(lái)在美國(guó)煙草公司收購(gòu)了亨利克萊&博克公司（Henry Clay & Bock Co.）之后,，和之前很多陸續(xù)倒閉的古巴雪茄品牌一樣,，英國(guó)貴族這個(gè)品牌最終消失了,。
復(fù)刻的英國(guó)貴族有兩個(gè)茄衣的版本,，一個(gè)是厄瓜多爾康涅狄格煙葉,，一個(gè)是墨西哥圣安德烈斯煙葉。兩款雪茄的茄套,、茄芯都是尼加拉瓜煙葉,。各有三個(gè)尺寸，羅布圖,，50環(huán)徑,，5英寸。公牛,，50環(huán)徑,，6英寸。丘吉爾,，50環(huán)徑,，7英寸,。每盒25支包裝，在美國(guó)的售價(jià)從每支7美元到8美元不等,。雪茄是在尼加拉瓜的埃斯特利地區(qū)的皮爾多莫雪茄廠（Tabacalera Perdomo）卷制的,。
每支雪茄都佩戴了兩枚煙標(biāo)，一枚是原煙標(biāo)的復(fù)刻品,，一枚是新設(shè)計(jì)的副標(biāo),。
醇香雪茄公司的總裁伊薩亞斯·桑塔娜·迪亞茲（Isaias Santana Diaz）說(shuō)，英國(guó)貴族品牌引入美國(guó)已經(jīng)114年了,，我想重溫家鄉(xiāng)古巴的一些歷史,，把英國(guó)貴族做成曾經(jīng)的高端品牌。
An old, discontinued Cuban brand is getting new life as a Nicaraguan cigar. Pure Aroma Cigars Inc., known for its D’Crossier line of smokes, has resurrected Lords of England, and will be shipping the new version to retailers in mid April.
The cigar comes in two wrapper varieties: Ecuador Connecticut and a maduro Mexican San Andrés. Both are blended with Nicaraguan binders and fillers. It’s offered in three sizes, Robusto, at 5 inches by 50 ring gauge; Toro, measuring 6 by 50; and Churchill, 7 by 50. Packed in boxes of 25, they are set to retail from $7 to $8 and made at Tabacalera Perdomo in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Each cigar is adorned with two bands—a reproduction of the original band and a newer secondary band.
Lords of England was introduced to the American market in the early 1900s by Gustavo Bock, who produced the cigar in Cuba. The brand eventually became part of the American Tobacco Co. after the U.S. tobacco giant purchased Henry Clay & Bock Co. Like so many defunct Cuban brands before it, Lords of England eventually disappeared.
“It is around 114 years since the Lords of England was introduced in this country,” said Isaias Santana Diaz, president of Pure Aroma. “I’d like to recapture some of the history of my native island and make Lords of England the premium brand it once was.”
