今年3月,,翹曲雪茄(Warped Cigars)的老板凱爾·蓋利斯(Kyle Gellis)又成立了一家以他的姓氏為名字的新公司,,名為蓋利斯家族雪茄公司。成立后推出兩個(gè)新的雪茄品牌,一款是春季發(fā)布的Marevas(馬雷瓦斯),,還有一款Saunter(漫步狗)在9月3日推出,。
漫步狗只有一個(gè)尺寸,,48環(huán)徑,,5.25英寸,羅布圖。茄衣是厄瓜多爾種植的康涅狄格煙葉,,茄套是厄瓜多爾煙葉,,茄芯是尼加拉瓜、多米尼加的混合煙葉,。在多米尼加共和國的島嶼雪茄廠(Tabacalera La Isla)卷制,,每盒12支,每支15美元,。未來可能會(huì)增加更多尺寸。
談到雪茄的名字時(shí),,凱爾·蓋利斯表示,,Saunter是指緩慢、放松,、不著急的行為,,用來形容這款煙葉混合很合適。中等強(qiáng)度,,混合復(fù)雜,,細(xì)細(xì)品嘗,有多種風(fēng)味和差異,。抽這支茄,,你可以像漫步一樣去享受。
雪茄的煙標(biāo)上印制著一只意大利卡斯羅犬,,這只狗的名字也叫Saunter,,蓋利斯養(yǎng)的一條狗,經(jīng)常在辦公室里閑逛,。
這款雪茄是由翹曲雪茄公司負(fù)責(zé)經(jīng)銷,。
Warped Cigars founder Kyle Gellis created a new company in March called Gellis Family Cigars and announced two brands to be marketed under the newly established entity: Marevas, which came out in the spring, and Saunter, which ships today.
Saunter comes in only one size, a robusto measuring 5 1/4 inches by 48 ring gauge. It’s made with a Connecticut-seed wrapper from Ecuador, Ecuadoran binder and filler from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Rolled in the Dominican Republic at Tabacalera La Isla (stylized as LA iSLA), Saunter comes in boxes of 12 and has a suggested retail price of $15 apiece. Gellis intends on adding more sizes to the brand in the future, but doesn’t have any exact dates.
As to why the cigar is called Saunter, Gellis tells Cigar Aficionado: “Saunter refers to the act of a slow, relaxed manner, without hurry, and that is the reference to the blend. This is a complex, medium-bodied blend with a lot of deep flavors and nuances. It is to be enjoyed as if sauntering.”
Gellis added that the name also refers to his dog, a Cane Corso (depicted on the band) who’d saunter around the office.
While Gellis Family Cigars is positioned as its own company, the brands under the new label are distributed by Warped.
