這篇新聞2019年1月刊登在Cigar Aficionado雜志
最新版本的古巴地區(qū)限量版已經(jīng)在墨西哥上架,，這次是潘趣（Punch）,，潘趣的公爵（Duke）,。之前墨西哥的地區(qū)限量版基本是埃德蒙多·丹特斯（Edmundo Dantes）,，這個名字是大仲馬的《基督山伯爵》里的一個主角。
這款潘趣公爵54環(huán)徑,，5.5英寸，每盒10支裝,，建議零售價每支660墨西哥比索,，折合每支35美元，只生產(chǎn)了6000盒,。
這是墨西哥的第四個地區(qū)限量版,。第一個地區(qū)限量版是2007年推出的，埃德蒙多·丹特斯的伯爵109，這是埃德蒙多·丹特斯系列第一次登場,，專為墨西哥地區(qū)打造,。第二個地區(qū)限量版是2011年推出的，埃德蒙多·丹特斯的伯爵54,。第三個地區(qū)限量版是2016年推出的埃德蒙多·丹特斯的伯爵比力高,。這三個尺寸的雪茄在Cigar Aficionado雜志的盲評里表現(xiàn)不錯，得分從91分到93分不等,。
埃德蒙多·丹特斯的煙標(biāo)配色與蒙特的煙標(biāo)配色極為相似,。
市場上是否還會繼續(xù)出現(xiàn)埃德蒙多·丹特斯品牌，還不確定,。必須說明的是,，雖然埃德蒙多·丹特斯與蒙特的外觀設(shè)計高度相似，但埃德蒙多·丹特斯有自己的煙葉混合配方,。
近期古巴出品的公爵尺寸雪茄還有2018年的帕特加斯E系列2號,，以及玻利瓦爾的2018年全球限量版主權(quán)（Soberano）。
Mexico has received its newest Cuban Regional Edition cigar, and it isn’t an Edmundo Dantes—it’s a Punch. The hefty Punch Duke has arrived, and it’s the first time a Mexican Regional release is anything other than an Edmundo Dantes.
Measuring 5 1/2 inches by 54 ring gauge, the Punch Duke comes packaged in wooden, 10-count boxes and retails for 660 Mexican pesos each (about $35). Only 6,000 boxes have been produced.
This marks the fourth Regional Edition cigar for Mexico. The first Mexican Regional came out in 2007 as the Edmundo Dantes El Conde 109. It was the first time anyone had seen the Edmundo Dantes brand, which was created especially for Mexico. The second Regional was released in 2011: the Edmundo Dantes Conde 54. Then, in 2016, Mexico offered the Edmundo Dantes Conde Belicoso. All three sizes have scored exceptionally well in Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Insider blind taste tests, with scores of 91 to 93 points.
The colors of the Edmundo Dantes band were very similar to Montecristo’s, and the name is even a reference to the title character from the novel The Count of Monte Cristo.
Whether or not we’ll see Edmundo Dantes again is uncertain, however, it should be noted that Edmundo Dantes was its own blend and not that of the Montecristo brand, despite appearances.
The new Punch Duke is the same size as the Partagás Serie E No. 2 and the Cuban Bolivar Soberano Edición Limitada 2018. All three are classified as Dukes in Cuban cigar factories.
