今年2月份，斯堪的納維亞煙草集團收購了亞歷克·布拉德利（Alec Bradley）雪茄公司，STG決定對該公司旗下一個品牌進行全新改造,，這款名為亞歷克·布拉德利禁運后混合代碼B15的產(chǎn)品線,，將完全取代已經(jīng)停產(chǎn)的原產(chǎn)品線。這款產(chǎn)品線外表看起來就是那種口味比較重的，和最初版本完全不一樣。
新的產(chǎn)品線對比老版本，沒有什么聯(lián)系,，可以看成是全新的版本。代碼B15的茄衣煙葉選用了洪都拉斯的特羅赫斯（ Trojes）地區(qū)種植的煙葉,，茄套煙葉有兩片,，一片選用了賈馬斯蘭特山谷（Jamastran）的科羅霍煙葉,，一片選用了特羅赫斯地區(qū)的克里奧羅煙葉，茄芯里也有這兩個地區(qū)的煙葉,，還添加了尼加拉瓜煙葉,。
唯一沒有變的是，這個產(chǎn)品線和最初版本都還是在古巴之根雪茄廠（ Raices Cubanas factory）卷制的,，口味強度是中等,。對比原先的版本，新版本的雪茄的頂部捏成辮子狀,。
布拉德利兄弟倆的魯賓目前擔任品牌大使,，他也認為現(xiàn)在是從全新角度來闡述這個品牌的正確時機。
雪茄有三個尺寸,，每盒24支包裝,，包裝盒外表做成類似液體飛濺上去的效果。三個尺寸分別是：羅布圖,，52環(huán)徑,，5英寸。公牛,，52環(huán)徑,，6英寸。戈多,，60環(huán)徑，6英寸,。這些雪茄預計9月中旬發(fā)貨,，在美國的售價從8.99美元到10.99美元不等。
There’s a new Alec Bradley Post Embargo brand in the works, and it completely replaces the original line, which has been discontinued. Called Alec Bradley Post Embargo Blend Code B15, the new cigar has a bolder look and different blend than the first.
The classic, old-world motifs of the Alec Bradley Post Embargo brand are gone. So is the original blend. This year, Scandinavian Tobacco Group, which purchased Alec Bradley in February, decided to give Post Embargo what it calls “an entirely new, full-time expression.” The company says this is not a brand makeover or reblending, but a new release altogether.
The new Blend Code B15 consists of a Honduran wrapper from the Trojes region; two Honduran binders (one a Corojo leaf from Jamastran and the other Criollo from Trojes) and filler from the Jalapa region of Nicaragua and the Jamastran and Trojes regions of Honduras. Like the original, the cigars are made in Honduras at the Raices Cubanas factory and are medium-bodied.
“We instinctively felt it was the right time to revisit the post-embargo concept from a fresh, new perspective because the brand resonates so well in the category,” says brand ambassador Bradley Rubin. “New world cigars are where it’s at, and this brand celebrates how we and other new world brands have taken our rightful place on the global stage.”
The cigars come in three sizes and are packaged in 24-count boxes made to resemble paint-spattered milk crates: Robusto, measuring 5 inches by 52 ring gauge; Toro at 6 by 52 and a 6-by-60 Gordo. They will have suggested retail prices of $8.99 to $10.99 when the smokes ship around mid-September. Unlike the original line, the new Post Embargo cigars are topped with pigtail caps.
The Alec Bradley Post Embargo Blend Code B15 is distributed by Forged Cigar Co., a subsidiary of STG.
