雪茄行業(yè)延續(xù)著粗口徑的趨勢,，而總部位于比利時的米瑞菲（M. Meerapfel S?hne）雪茄公司朝著反方向前進(jìn)，他們近期在梅爾（Meir）系列里增加了兩款口徑較細(xì)的尺寸：朗斯代爾,、大皇冠,。如今這兩款新尺寸產(chǎn)品已經(jīng)向零售商發(fā)貨。
米瑞菲家族早在1610年就在德國開始種植煙葉,。梅爾系列是以梅爾米瑞菲（Meir Meerapfel）的名字命名的,，他1876年在德國的一個名為安特格隆巴克（Untergrombac）的小鎮(zhèn)建造了米瑞菲雪茄廠。梅爾是米瑞菲公司現(xiàn)任董事長耶利米（Jeremiah）的曾祖父,。如今,，米瑞菲家族在西非致力于種植喀麥隆煙葉，也委托一些雪茄制造商為他們生產(chǎn)優(yōu)質(zhì)雪茄,。
我們只知道梅爾系列雪茄是在多米尼加共和國生產(chǎn),，但不知道委托的代工廠是哪一家。只知道茄衣是喀麥隆煙葉,，其他煙葉混合也不得而知,。米瑞菲公司透露茄衣煙葉發(fā)酵時間超過了20年。
大皇冠是46環(huán)徑,，5.5英寸,。朗斯代爾是43環(huán)徑，6.75英寸,。這樣梅爾系列的尺寸一共有六個,。其余四個分別是：羅布圖，雙羅布圖,，金字塔,，丘吉爾。預(yù)計未來將會推出長矛尺寸,。
這個系列雪茄口味強度是中等,，售價較高。大皇冠每支售價43美元,，朗斯代爾每支售價51美元,。
梅爾系列每盒25支,，裝盒是一層結(jié)構(gòu)，這在行業(yè)極其罕見,。每款尺寸將限量生產(chǎn)613盒,。
As the thick cigar trend continues, Belgian cigar company M. Meerapfel S?hne—best known for its cultivation of Cameroon tobacco—is going in the opposite direction. Meerapfel is adding two relatively slender sizes to its Meir line: a Lonsdale and a Corona Gorda. The cigars are shipping to retailers now.
The Meerapfels began growing tobacco in 1610 in Germany. The Meir line is named in honor of Meir Meerapfel, who in 1876 built the Meerapfel cigar factory in Untergrombac and is great-great grandfather of Jeremiah Meerapfel, the company’s chairman. Today, the Meerapfels specialize in growing Cameroon leaf in West Africa, but also have premium cigars produced for them by various manufacturers.
Not much is being revealed about the production of the cigars from the Meir line. They’re made in the Dominican Republic but the Meerapfels aren’t saying exactly where. Other than the Cameroon wrapper, the blend for Meir is also undisclosed, though the company did state that the cover leaf has been aged more than 20 years.
Measuring 5 1/2 inches by 46 ring gauge and 6 3/4 by 43, respectively, the Corona Gorda and Lonsdale bring the Meir line up to six sizes, joining the Robusto, Double Robusto, Pyramid and Churchill. A Lancero is planned for release at a later date.
The cigars, which are intended to be medium in strength, are on the pricier side with the Corona Gorda retailing for $43 (46 euros) and the Lonsdale for $51 (55 euros).
Meir cigars come packaged in slim, single-layer boxes of 25, unusual in the cigar world. Production is limited to 613 boxes of each size.
