6月15日開始,，埃斯皮諾薩雪茄公司開始向零售商運(yùn)送一款新雪茄，這款雪茄是601大爆炸系列,，這個(gè)系列是2013年問世的,。這次發(fā)布的彈頭IX屬于限量版。
雪茄56環(huán)徑,，6英寸,，完美造型。頭部比較尖銳,，尾部呈寬錐形,，類似空中炸彈。這款雪茄是全尼加拉瓜煙葉卷制,，是委托A.J. 費(fèi)爾南德斯在他自己的圣羅塔諾雪茄廠卷制的,。這些煙葉里最有特點(diǎn)的是闊葉茄衣煙葉,，要知道,，闊葉通常是種植在美國的康涅狄格州。根據(jù)該公司介紹,，這款雪茄的口味強(qiáng)度是中等到濃郁,。
彈頭產(chǎn)品第一次亮相時(shí)，使用的茄衣是康涅狄格闊葉,。2021年埃斯皮諾薩公司在發(fā)布彈頭7的時(shí)候改用了尼加拉瓜的闊葉煙葉作為茄衣,。這些年除了茄衣煙葉更換，其他成分沒有變化,。但是每次發(fā)布的限量版的尺寸是不一樣的,。
彈頭IX是每盒10支包裝，在美國的售價(jià)是每支13美元,，即每盒130美元,。包裝盒和煙標(biāo)使用了較為夸張的五顏六色的配色方案，有點(diǎn)像二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期經(jīng)常裝飾戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)和炸彈的色彩方案,。
這款彈頭IX的產(chǎn)量限定為5000盒,，即一共銷售5萬支。
Espinosa Premium Cigars has added to its armory of armament-themed smokes with the 601 La Bomba Warhead IX, which started shipping to retailers yesterday. It’s part of Espinosa’s limited-edition 601 La Bomba Warhead series, first released in 2013.
Measuring 6 inches by 56 ring gauge, Warhead IX is a perfecto with a sharply pointed head and wide tapered bottom that resembles an aerial bomb. It’s made by A.J. Fernandez at his San Lotano Factory in Ocotál, Nicaragua, and consists of all-Nicaraguan tobacco, most notably the broadleaf wrapper, as broadleaf is typically grown in Connecticut. According to the company, the cigars are medium-to-full in body.
When Warhead debuted, it was made with a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, but Espinosa switched it to Nicaraguan broadleaf in 2021 with the Warhead VII. With the exception of the wrapper change, the blend has been the same, though the sizes change with each release.
Shipping in boxes of 10, the Warhead IX has a suggested retail price $13 per cigar, or $130 per box, before taxes. The boxes and bands feature colorful artwork designed to evoke the nose art that often adorned fighter planes and bombs in World War II.
Production of 601 La Bomba Warhead IX is limited to 5,000 boxes, or 50,000 cigars.
