西坦帕煙草公司最新的常規(guī)系列生命之環(huán)（Circle Of Life）下周終于要向零售商發(fā)貨了,，原計劃去年5月份發(fā)貨，但因為外包裝盒生產(chǎn)的原因耽誤了,。
這個新產(chǎn)品系列的推出有點像是創(chuàng)始人里克·羅德里格斯（Rick Rodriguez）的老友重聚，這次羅德里格斯選擇了他的職業(yè)前輩和導(dǎo)師,，也是他在通用雪茄公司工作時的老領(lǐng)導(dǎo),，埃內(nèi)斯托·佩雷斯·卡里略（Ernesto Perez-Carrillo）代工生產(chǎn)這個系列的產(chǎn)品，雪茄是在埃內(nèi)斯托的位于多米尼加共和國的卡里略雪茄廠卷制的,。
而以前西坦帕煙草公司的紅色系列,、白色系列、黑色系列都是在尼加拉瓜生產(chǎn)的,。
去年美國PCA貿(mào)易展上,，這款新產(chǎn)品就亮相了，但煙葉混合的具體成分沒有披露,。如今謎底揭曉了,，這個系列的茄衣是厄瓜多爾哈瓦那煙葉，茄套是厄瓜多爾蘇門答臘煙葉,，茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉為主,，來自尼加拉瓜的三個煙草種植區(qū)，賈拉帕,、孔德加,、埃斯特利，茄芯里還有一些多米尼加的科羅霍99煙葉,。
生命之環(huán)系列計劃1月6日開始發(fā)貨,，目前有三個尺寸。羅布圖,，52環(huán)徑,，5英寸，每支售價12.99美元,。公牛,，54環(huán)徑，6英寸,，每支售價13.99美元,。巨人（Gigante），60環(huán)徑，6英寸,，每支售價14.99美元,。每盒都是20支裝。
West Tampa Tobacco Co.’s newest regular-production line, Circle of Life is finally shipping to retailers starting next week. The line was scheduled to launch last May but was delayed due to complications regarding box production.
The creation of the line is a bit of a reunion for West Tampa co-founder Rick Rodriguez. West Tampa’s core brands (the Red, White and Black lines), are produced in Nicaragua, but for Circle of Life Rodriguez turned to his former mentor Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and his Casa Carrillo factory in the Dominican Republic. The two previously worked together during their time at General Cigar Co.
When the cigars were previewed at last year’s PCA trade show, tobacco details were undisclosed, but that has since changed. West Tampa tells Cigar Aficionado the blend consists of an Ecuador Habano oscuro cover leaf atop an Ecuador Sumatra binder. The fillers are from three regions in Nicaragua: Jalapa, Condega and Estelí. There’s some Dominican Corojo ’99 in the filler as well.
Circle of Life starts shipping on January 6, and will be offered in three sizes: Robusto, measuring 5 inches by 52 ring gauge ($12.99); Toro, 6 by 54 ($13.99); and Gigante, 6 by 60 ($14.99). All sizes come in boxes of 20.
