美國阿塔迪斯煙草(Altadis U.S.A.)公司旗下的非古品牌烏普曼180周年系列下周將向零售商發(fā)貨,,只比原計劃稍微了一點,。今年是烏普曼品牌創(chuàng)建180周年,,阿塔迪斯煙草公司原計劃6月份發(fā)行這款丘吉爾,。預(yù)計7月26日公司在佛羅里達(dá)州的倉庫開始發(fā)貨,。
今年的紀(jì)念版只有一個尺寸,,丘吉爾,,50環(huán)徑,,7英寸。委托尼加拉瓜的A.J.費爾南德斯生產(chǎn),。烏普曼曾經(jīng)有一款175周年紀(jì)念版,,在Cigar Aficionado的2019年評選里獲得年度第10名。180周年紀(jì)念版的尺寸和175周年是一樣的,,只是煙葉混合配方不同,。
阿塔迪斯煙草公司的母公司美國煙草公司的產(chǎn)品能力副總裁拉斐爾·諾達(dá)爾(Rafael Nodal)告訴記者,這款180周年紀(jì)念版丘吉爾雪茄是全尼加拉瓜煙葉卷制,,最大的亮點是茄衣使用了medio tiempo煙葉,,這是一款雜交種子,這種煙葉是一種小葉片,,有時候長在煙草植株的頂部,,口味力度很強,備受重視,。
180周年紀(jì)念版雪茄每盒10支裝,,售價是每支22.5美元,計劃生產(chǎn)5000盒,。
下周同時發(fā)貨的還有一款周年紀(jì)念雪茄盒,,里面有50支公牛尺寸的烏普曼180周年紀(jì)念版雪茄,50環(huán)徑,,6英寸,。這種雪茄盒每個售價1500美元,一共生產(chǎn)180個,。
The H. Upmann 180th Anniversary is going out to retailers next week, just a bit behind schedule. This year marks H. Upmann’s 180th birthday, and the anniversary cigars from Altadis U.S.A. were initially slated for a June release. Shipments of the new cigars will be leaving the company’s Florida warehouse on Monday.
The cigars come in one size—a Churchill measuring 7 inches by 50 ring gauge—and are made in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez. Like the H. Upmann 175th Anniversary cigar (which went on to be named Cigar Aficionado’s No. 10 Cigar of 2019), the 180th is a collaboration between Fernandez and Rafael Nodal, vice president of product capability for Tabacalera USA, Altadis U.S.A.’s parent company. The 175th and 180th anniversary are the same Churchill size but Nodal tells Cigar Aficionado that the blends are different.
One of the highlights of this all-Nicaraguan cigar is its medio tiempo wrapper that Nodal says was grown from a hybrid seed. Medio tiempo is a classification of small leaves that sometimes grow on the very top of a tobacco plant, and are valued for their strength.
Each H. Upmann 180th Anniversary has a suggested retail price of $22.50 per cigar, and comes packaged in 10-count boxes. Only 5,000 boxes are being produced.
Monday will also see the release of an anniversary humidor containing 50 H. Upmann 180th Anniversary Toros (6 by 50). The humidors are priced at $1,500 apiece with a production run of only 180 units.
