通用雪茄公司近期將發(fā)售旗下麥克紐杜品牌的一款陳年系列新品雪茄,，上一次推出陳年系列還是2021年，當(dāng)時(shí)發(fā)售的是麥克紐杜陳年2010,，當(dāng)時(shí)那款雪茄使用了已經(jīng)發(fā)酵11年的康涅狄格陰植葉作為茄衣,。今年，麥克紐杜的陳年系列新品是“陳年馬杜羅2013”（ Vintage Maduro 2013）,，這款雪茄使用的茄衣是2013年收獲的康涅狄格闊葉。
通用公司稱,，2013年收獲的康涅狄格闊葉質(zhì)量比較理想,。當(dāng)年的溫度、降雨和濕度的結(jié)合創(chuàng)造了最佳的生長條件,。
公司負(fù)責(zé)康涅狄格煙草業(yè)務(wù)的負(fù)責(zé)人歐內(nèi)斯特·戈卡伊（Ernest Gocaj）說,，2013年的種植季是我經(jīng)歷的最好的生長季之一。收獲的時(shí)候看得出煙葉質(zhì)量很好,，我們在為期八周的發(fā)酵過程中對煙葉進(jìn)行了密切監(jiān)控,。
這款雪茄的茄套是洪都拉斯煙葉，茄芯是多米尼加的古巴皮洛托（Piloto Cubano）煙葉,、巴西的馬塔菲娜（Mata Fina）煙葉,，以及種植于尼加拉瓜的賈拉帕地區(qū)的煙葉的混合,。
這個(gè)系列都是每盒20支的包裝，有三個(gè)尺寸,。羅布圖,，50環(huán)徑，5英寸,，在美國的售價(jià)是每支11.99美元,。格蘭德，54環(huán)徑,，6英寸,，售價(jià)12.99美元。丘吉爾,，49環(huán)徑,，7英寸，售價(jià)13.29美元,。雪茄是在位于多米尼加共和國的通用雪茄廠卷制的,。
麥克紐杜的陳年系列已經(jīng)存在幾十年了，之前發(fā)布的陳年系列的茄衣分別選用了1988年,、1993年,、2000年收獲的煙葉。2010年,，通用雪茄推出了第一款馬杜羅陳年,，茄衣選用了1997年收獲的康涅狄格闊葉。
Following up on 2021’s Macanudo Vintage 2010, General Cigar Co. has released another vintage Macanudo, this time with a darker, maduro wrapper. The Vintage Maduro 2013 showcases a Connecticut broadleaf cover leaf that General says was harvested that same year. The cigars began shipping to retailers late last week.
According to the company, 2013 was a particularly ideal year for broadleaf tobacco in the Connecticut River Valley, where the wrappers of these Macanudos were cultivated. The combination of temperature, rainfall and humidity made for optimal growing conditions.
“The growing season in 2013 was one of the best I’ve ever seen,” says Ernest Gocaj, who oversees the growing operations in Connecticut for General Cigar. “The crop was exceptional at harvest, which meant that we had to be obsessive when it came to monitoring the tobacco during the eight-week curing process.”
The Honduran binder holds together a filler blend of Dominican Piloto Cubano, Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan tobacco from Jalapa.
Macanudo Vintage Maduro 2013 comes in 20-count boxes and is available in the following sizes: Robusto, measuring 5 inches by 50 ring gauge, ($11.99); Toro Grande, 6 by 54 ($12.99); and Churchill, 7 by 49 ($13.29). They’re made in the Dominican Republic at the General Cigar Dominicana factory.
The Macanudo Vintage line has existed for decades with previous wrapper vintages including 1988, 1993 and 2000, which General released in 2006. In 2010, General sold its first Macanudo Vintage Maduro, which had a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper dated from 1997.
