20年前,，在美國沒有人知道塔圖阿赫是什么,，這個單詞也很難發(fā)音,。生產(chǎn)雪茄的小雪茄廠位于邁阿密這一點也給人留下很模糊的印象,。在雪茄行業(yè)意外,，皮特·約翰遜,、何塞·佩平·加西亞這兩個名人也鮮為人知,。如今,，一切都變了,，約翰遜特意發(fā)布了兩款新品,，紀念在雪茄行業(yè)的二十年。
這兩款雪茄是在尼加拉瓜的老爹雪茄廠卷制,，在拉斯維加斯的PCA貿(mào)易展參展,，預(yù)計8月份向零售商發(fā)貨。
一款名為Grande Merveille（奇跡）,，46環(huán)徑,，6.125英寸，在美國的售價是每支13美元,。一款是Grand Chaseur（歐洲議會）,，54環(huán)徑，6.375英寸,。這兩款雪茄的茄腳都是未切割的,，茄衣是厄瓜多爾哈瓦那煙葉，茄套和茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉,。每盒都是20支包裝,。
塔圖阿赫在十周年時發(fā)布過兩款雪茄：Belle Encre（漂亮的墨水）,、Bon Chasseur（好獵人），后來都成為常規(guī)產(chǎn)品線,。今年發(fā)布的這兩款也將成為常規(guī)產(chǎn)品,。
多年來，塔圖阿赫雪茄在《雪茄愛好者》,、《雪茄內(nèi)幕》的盲評中多次獲得高分,，多次出現(xiàn)在年度25名的榜單里。最近一次,，塔圖阿赫的特制屋頂系列（Capa Especial）的火箭（Cohete）以92分的盲評成績被評為2022年第22名雪茄,。
Twenty years ago, nobody knew who or what Tatuaje was. The word was difficult to pronounce, the small Miami factory where the cigars were made was obscure and the people behind the brand—Pete Johnson and José “Pepín” Garcia—were little known outside of the cigar industry. Today, all that has changed and Johnson has created two cigars to mark two successful decades in the business.
Made in Nicaragua at the My Father Cigars factory, the Tatuaje 20th Grande Merveille and Grand Chaseur will be unveiled at this week’s PCA trade show in Las Vegas. The cigars are expected to ship by August.
The Grande Merveille measures 6 1/8 inches long by 46 ring gauge and has a suggested retail price of $13 per cigar while the Grand Chasseur measures 6 3/8 by 54. Both cigars are made with covered, uncut feet and consist of an Ecuador Habano wrapper around a Nicaraguan blend. They come packaged in 20-count boxes.
Like the Tatuaje Belle Encre and Bon Chasseur, which celebrated Tatuaje’s 10th anniversary in 2003, these new sizes will be part of the regular-production line.
Tatuaje cigars have received high ratings over the years in Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Insider blind tastings, with repeat appearances on the magazine’s Top 25 list. Most recently, the Tatuaje Capa Especial Cohete was named No. 22 cigar of 2022, with a score of 92 points.
