尼加拉瓜的奧梅特佩島整體形狀像一個(gè)杠鈴,，坐擁兩座火山,，其中一個(gè)是活火山,，中間由一片不是那么肥沃的土地連接在一起。島上不乏生命的跡象,，特別還出產(chǎn)少量的雪茄煙葉。奧梅特佩煙葉通常作為茄芯的一部分,，但普拉森西亞公司不走尋常路,，使用奧梅特佩煙葉作為茄衣推出一款新品，上周剛發(fā)貨,，值得一提的是,，這款魚雷造型的雪茄售價(jià)高達(dá)每支100美元。
這款名為火魂系列奧梅特佩限量版（Alma del Fuego Ometepe Edición Limitada）的新品54環(huán)徑,，6英寸,，每盒20支裝。每一支雪茄都裝在單獨(dú)的玻璃管里,，一盒售價(jià)2000美元,，折合每支100美元。這款雪茄的外包裝盒可以獨(dú)立作為雪茄保濕盒使用,。
和火魂系列的其他款產(chǎn)品一樣，整支雪茄的煙葉都是尼加拉瓜煙葉,，在尼加拉瓜的埃斯特利地區(qū)的普拉森西亞雪茄廠生產(chǎn),。
單支100美元的雪茄以前很少見(jiàn)到，而現(xiàn)在很普遍,。古巴有幾款單支售價(jià)超過(guò)100美元的高希霸雪茄,，此外，阿塔迪斯煙草公司,、大衛(wèi)杜夫公司,、奧利瓦公司、洛基帕特爾公司等非古雪茄制造商都推出過(guò)單支售價(jià)100美元以上的雪茄,。
The Nicaraguan island of Ometepe is shaped like a barbell, with two volcanoes (one of them active) joined by a thinner strip of verdant land. The island teems with life, and is the source of a small amount of cigar tobacco. Ometepe appears in blends here and there, typically as a filler component, but Plasencia Cigars is taking the unusual step of using it as wrapper tobacco on a new, $100 cigar that just started arriving in stores last week.
Plasencia Alma del Fuego Ometepe Edición Limitada is a limited edition, one-size brand. The cigar is a torpedo measuring six inches by 54. There are 20 cigars in each box, all packed in hand-blown glass tubes, and they retail for $100 cigar, or $2,000 for a box of 20. The company says the box can be used as a humidor.
Like other Alma del Fuegos, the rest of the blend is entirely Nicaraguan, and is rolled at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Cigars with suggested retail prices of $100 or more were once unheard of in the cigar industry, but they are becoming increasingly common. Cuba has several Cohibas that sell for more than $100, and Altadis, Davidoff, Oliva and Rocky Patel are among the non-Cuban producers with cigars retailing for $100 or more.
