在《雪茄愛好者》雜志舉辦的雪茄年度評選比,，過去近20年時間里，帕德龍雪茄有四款雪茄被評為年度最佳雪茄,，這是創(chuàng)記錄的成績。這家總部位于美國邁阿密的雪茄公司已經(jīng)推出一款套裝,，里面包含了這四支獲得第一名的冠軍雪茄,。
這四款雪茄分別是：2004年以93分評為第一名的帕德龍1926系列40周年，2007年以97分評為第一名的帕德龍1926系列9號,，2009年以95分評為第一名的帕德龍家族珍藏系列45號馬杜羅,，2021年以97分評為第一名的帕德龍1964周年系列魚雷。
這款套裝已經(jīng)發(fā)貨給零售商,，在美國的售價是每盒108.55美元,，大概折合每支雪茄27美元。
這款產(chǎn)品可以看成是帕德龍年度冠軍套裝的擴展產(chǎn)品,，以前的套裝包含了三支雪茄,，當時還沒有2021年度的冠軍雪茄。這次容納四支雪茄的包裝盒是一個小木盒,，看起來更像常規(guī)帕德龍雪茄包裝盒的縮小版本,。
Cigar Aficionado named its first Cigar of the Year nearly 20 years ago, when the Padrón Serie 1926 40th Anniversary was declared the finest cigar in the world. Over the past two decades Padróns have done exceptionally well in our Top 25 Cigar tastings, winning the contest a record four times. Now, the Miami-based company has created a sampler containing each of its champion cigars in one package.
The box contains one of each of the following cigars, all of which are made by hand in Nicaragua:
Padrón Serie 1926 40th Anniversary, 2004 Cigar of the Year, 93 points
Padrón Serie 1926 No. 9, 2007 Cigar of the Year, 97 points
Padrón Family Reserve No. 45 Maduro, 2009 Cigar of the Year, 95 points
Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series Torpedo, 2021 Cigar of the Year, 97 points
The box, which has already shipped to retailers, has a suggested retail price of $108.55 for the set, or an average of just over $27 per cigar.
This is a new, expanded version of Padrón’s Cigar of the Year sampler. The previous incarnation only had three cigars (it was created prior to the Torpedo being named No. 1 in January, 2022) and it had a dark covering to the packaging. This new, bigger version is packed in a small wooden box that looks like a miniature version of a Padrón box.
The cigars combined for an impressive 382 points in the four tastings.
