阿特諾薩煙草的章魚系列口味濃郁,去年5月剛推出時有三個尺寸:大羅布圖,、大公牛,、大比力高。去年9月份又推出“麻花”(culebra),,如今,,阿特諾薩公司準(zhǔn)備推出第五個尺寸:Fry(魚苗),預(yù)計6月14日開始發(fā)貨,。
新品仍然是委托尼加拉瓜的A.J. Fernandez卷制,,48環(huán)徑,4英寸,茄帽帶有一個辮子,。和章魚系列的其他款式一樣,,新品的茄衣是墨西哥圣安德烈斯煙葉,茄套和茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉,。這次茄衣煙葉經(jīng)過了一點特殊發(fā)酵,,以適應(yīng)新品較短的尺寸。
這款Fry的外包裝和其他尺寸有所不同,,類似帶翻蓋的火彩盒,,每個便攜式的雪茄盒裝有五支Fry,在美國的售價是每盒62美元,,折合每支12.4美元,,不過這款產(chǎn)品不單獨銷售。
阿特薩諾煙草公司是一家小型雪茄公司,,老板是三兄弟,,蓋斯(Gus)、比利(Billy),、貝斯法基( Bass Fakih),,他們以前在紐約從事雪茄零售工作,2015年賣掉了門店開始自己的雪茄品牌創(chuàng)建工作,。
The hearty and robust El Pulpo line from Artesano del Tobacco has a short new size called The Fry, and it’s expected to start shipping on June 14.
Made in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez, The Fry measures 4 inches by 48 ring gauge and is topped with a pigtail cap. Like the rest of the El Pulpo line, it’s composed of a Mexican San Andrés wrapper and Nicaraguan tobacco. The wrapper on this smoke, however, was fermented a bit differently to better accommodate the cigar’s shorter length.
The packaging differs as well. These cigars come in thick-ply, coated, cardboard five-packs with flip-top lids, a compartment for matches and a striking surface. Each travel pack has a suggested retail price $62 each, which works out to $12.40 per cigar. They are not sold individually.
The Fry brings El Pulpo to five sizes, including the Culebra, introduced last year, and the Belicoso Grande, Cigar Aficionado’s No. 10 cigar of 2023.
Artesano del Tobacco is owned by Fakih brothers Billy, Geson “Gus” and Bass, former New York City retailers who created their own cigar brand in 2015.
