古巴的玻利瓦爾金牌又回來了,，這一次它比以前的版本更粗,，也更時尚。3月1日晚上,，這款被稱為“玻利瓦爾新金牌”的雪茄在哈瓦那雪茄節(jié)上亮相,，展示活動在拉吉托展廳舉行，這個大廳經(jīng)常用來做新產(chǎn)品發(fā)布,。
2007年,，已經(jīng)停產(chǎn)的玻利瓦爾金牌曾經(jīng)重新生產(chǎn)過一版，也是作為哈瓦那之家專供版本,。那年的尺寸和第一版相同,，42環(huán)徑，6.5英寸,。包裹在一個標志性的金箔套筒里,。
今年發(fā)布的玻利瓦爾新金牌更粗，48環(huán)徑,，長度還是6.5英寸,。金箔也做了升級。新的金色包裝上浮雕著“玻利瓦爾”的字樣,。
玻利瓦爾新金牌是每盒10支包裝,，還不知道零售價，也不知道什么時候可以上市,。哈瓦那之家門店有部分股權(quán)歸屬于古巴政府,，傳統(tǒng)上只銷售古巴雪茄，根據(jù)哈伯納斯公司的介紹,，目前全世界有哈瓦那之家專賣店157個,。
The Cuban Bolivar Gold Medal is back, but this time it’s a little thicker and a little snazzier than previous releases. Called the Bolivar New Gold Medal, the cigar is intended exclusively for La Casa del Habano franchise shops. The Bolivar got its preview party on Wednesday night during the Habanos Festival at El Laguito Protocol Hall, a venue often used to feature new products.
This is not the Bolivar Gold Medal’s first comeback. In 2007, the previously discontinued cigar was resurrected as a Casa del Habano exclusive as well. Like the original, it came wrapped in a signature sleeve of gold foil and was the same size as the first release at 6 1/2 inches by 42 ring gauge. The Bolivar New Gold Medal announced this week is the same length, but thicker at 48 ring gauge. The signature gold foil has also been updated. Whereas the previous foil was sheer gold, the new gold wrapping is embossed with the word “Bolivar” appearing in a repeating pattern.
The Bolivar New Gold Medal comes in 10-count boxes, though there’s no indication as to when the cigars will start reaching the Casa del Habano shops or what they’ll cost. Partially owned by the Cuban government, the franchise shops have traditionally sold only Cuban cigars. According to Habanos, there are currently 157 Casas around the world.
