根據(jù)地雪茄公司推出一個(gè)新的雪茄品牌,，名為Metapa,，這是一個(gè)地名，是尼加拉瓜詩(shī)人Rubén Darío的出生地。雪茄的煙標(biāo)和包裝盒上都印有詩(shī)人魯本·達(dá)里奧的形象,。這個(gè)新品牌將參加PCA貿(mào)易展，預(yù)計(jì)秋季發(fā)貨給零售商,。
雪茄的茄衣是厄瓜多爾蘇門答臘的蓋葉,，根據(jù)地雪茄第一次采用這種茄衣煙葉。茄套是康涅狄格的闊葉,，茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉,。規(guī)劃了馬杜羅、克拉羅兩種茄衣版本,。有四個(gè)尺寸,，雙皇冠，54環(huán)徑,，7英寸,。公牛，52環(huán)徑,，6英寸,。羅布圖，50環(huán)徑,，5英寸,。大皇冠，48環(huán)徑,，5.5英寸,。在美國(guó)的售價(jià)從每支14.5美元到18美元不等。每盒雪茄都是10支裝,。雪茄是委托尼加拉瓜的A.J.費(fèi)爾南德斯生產(chǎn)的,。
根據(jù)地雪茄公司的老板梅利洛說(shuō)，這款梅塔帕雪茄是紀(jì)念尼加拉瓜詩(shī)歌的靈魂,。魯本·達(dá)里奧是最偉大的西班牙語(yǔ)詩(shī)人之一,。我一直希望為他打造一個(gè)雪茄品牌，我也一直想采用厄瓜多爾蘇門答臘煙葉作為茄衣,，于是我們推出了梅塔帕,。
如果你在地圖上找不到梅塔帕這個(gè)地名，可能是1920年這個(gè)鎮(zhèn)被改名為詩(shī)人的名字Cuidad Darío,，這個(gè)鎮(zhèn)位于尼加拉瓜西北部的馬塔加爾帕地區(qū),。
Foundation Cigar Co. and its owner Nick Melillo are paying tribute to the cultural heritage of Nicaragua with a new brand that honors Nicaraguan poet Rubén Darío. Named after his town of birth, the cigar line is called Metapa, and features a portrait of Darío on both the bands and boxes. The cigars will be on display in a couple of weeks at the PCA trade show, and will ship to retailers in the fall.
Wrapped in Ecuador Sumatra cover leaf—a first for Foundation—Metapa also consists of a Connecticut broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan filler. It’s offered in both Maduro and Claro, and comes in four softly-pressed sizes: Double Corona, measuring 7 inches by 54 ring gauge; Toro at 6 by 52; a 5-by-50 Robusto and Corona Gorda at 5 1/2 by 48. Suggested retail prices range from $14.50 to $18 per cigar, all of which come in 10-count boxes.
“Metapa is a tribute to the poetic soul of Nicaragua,” says Melillo. “The image of Rubén Darío is iconic; he is considered one of the greatest poets in the Spanish language. I have always wanted to make a brand in his honor, and I have always wanted to introduce a blend around Sumatra Ecuador wrapper. Metapa is the result.”
If you can’t find Metapa on a map, it’s because the town was renamed Cuidad Darío after the poet in 1920. It’s located in the Matagalpa region of northwest Nicaragua.
The cigars are made in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez.
