古巴每年推出的三款全球限量版雪茄深受消費(fèi)者喜愛,,但2018年推出的產(chǎn)品測評得分喜憂參半,。CA雜志對2018年的第一款全球限量版,羅密歐與朱麗葉的Tacos(玉米餅)進(jìn)行了測評,,在盲評中獲得了令人失望的84分。
2017年發(fā)布的潘趣全球限量版得分是84分,這兩次測評得分是Cigar Aficionado盲評古巴全球限量版以來得到的最低分,。
相比之下,,最近發(fā)行的其他全球限量版表現(xiàn)不錯,。高希霸的2017年全球限量版護(hù)身符(Talismán)拿到了91分。帕特加斯的2017年全球限量版帕特加斯1號拿到了90分,。2016年的三款全球限量版都拿到了90分以上,特立尼達(dá)的托普斯(Topes)是92分,,羅密歐與朱麗葉的卡布利特(Capuletos)是91分,蒙特的丹特斯(Dantés)拿到了90分,。
和其他古巴新品一樣,,全球限量版上市往往很晚,。玻利瓦爾的2018年全球限量版主權(quán)(Soberano)近期將會上市,雜志社將組織測評,。烏普曼的2018年全球限量版普羅皮奧斯(Propios)還沒有上市。
Cuba’s annual trio of limited-edition smokes is beloved by consumers, but recent offerings are delivering mixed results in terms of ratings. Cigar Insider rated the first 2018 Edición Limitada, the Romeo y Julieta Tacos EL 2018, and it scored an underwhelming 84 points in a blind tasting.
Last year’s Punch Regios de Punch Edición Limitada 2017 also scored 84 points. The two scores are the lowest ever given by Cigar Aficionado or Cigar Insider for a Cuban Edición Limitada.
Other recent ELs have been quite good, by comparison. The Cohiba Talismán Edición Limitada 2017 scored 91 points, the Partagás Serie No. 1 Edición Limitada 2017 scored 90 points and all three 2016 ELs scored in the 90s—the Trinidad Topes (92), Romeo y Julieta Capuletos (91) and Montecristo Dantés (90).
Like many new Cuban cigars, the Edición Limitadas tend to come to market rather late. The Bolivar Soberano EL 2018 made its market debut in late November, and will be rated soon. The H. Upmann Propios EL 2018 still hasn’t shown up on store shelves.
