奧茲格納家族雪茄(OZ Family Cigars)公司旗下的博斯普魯斯海峽(Bosphorus)系列將要發(fā)布一款限量版產(chǎn)品,,預(yù)計9月份發(fā)貨給零售商,。
這款名為拉吉托6號(Laguito No. 6)的雪茄56環(huán)徑,6.5英寸,。每盒12支裝,售價折合每支15.95美元,,一共生產(chǎn)1500盒,。雪茄的煙葉混合配方和博斯普魯斯海峽系列并無二致。茄衣是厄瓜多爾哈瓦那煙葉,,茄套煙葉兩片,,一片是厄瓜多爾康涅狄格煙葉,一片是尼加拉瓜煙葉,,茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉,。限量版產(chǎn)品也是在多米尼加共和國的卡里略之家雪茄廠卷制的。
但雪茄外形和核心產(chǎn)品線有一些區(qū)別,。茄腳閉合,,茄帽捏成豬尾巴狀。茄身不是盒壓造型,,是圓柱形,。
老板蒂姆·奧茲格納(Tim Ozgener)告訴記者,這個限量版的尺寸是模仿古巴高希霸的BHK56來設(shè)計的,。雪茄采用豬尾巴辮的茄帽以及封閉的茄腳,,會給抽茄者帶來細(xì)微差別的體驗,我覺得這種設(shè)計是在贊美雪茄的藝術(shù)性,??ɡ锫灾已┣褟S對卷制這種閉合茄腳和豬尾巴辮茄帽的雪茄很在行。
博斯普魯斯海峽系列是2022年阿布的,,也是蒂姆·奧茲格納離開雪茄行業(yè)12年之后的第一款產(chǎn)品,。B52在2023年進入了Cigar Aficionado的年度25名榜單。
The Dominican Bosphorus brand from OZ Family Cigars is getting a new, limited-edition size, but unlike the core line, it’s made with a closed foot and pigtail cap. Retailers should be seeing the cigars in September.
Called Laguito No. 6, the thick smoke measures 6 1/2 inches by 56 ring gauge and is set to retail for $15.95 each. In addition to its distinct head and foot, another notable difference is the shape. The new cigars are rolled in the rounded, parejo format (Bosphorus cigars from the core line are box-pressed).
They’ll come in 12-count boxes but only 1,500 boxes are being released. The blend is the same as that of the core Bosphorus brand: Ecuador Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan filler and two binders—one Ecuador Connecticut, the other from Nicaragua. Along with the rest of the line, the Laguito No. 6 is made in the Dominican Republic at the Casa Carrillo factory.
“When you see the pigtails and the closed foot, it gives more nuance to the smoking experience and I think it really celebrates the artistry of cigars,” brand owner Tim Ozgener tells Cigar Aficionado, adding that the size was created to mimic the Cuban Cohiba Behike BHK 56. “I was really impressed with Casa Carrillo and how well the factory can make pigtailed cigars with closed feet.”
The Bosphorus brand debuted in 2022 and was Ozgener’s freshman line of cigars since his 12-year absence from the cigar industry. Its accolades include a string of high scores and placement on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list of 2023.
