雪茄制造商喜歡用紀念版來慶祝一些周年日，近期,，PDR雪茄公司的老板安倍·弗洛雷斯（Abe Flores）發(fā)布了最新系列“弗洛雷斯和羅德里格斯”（ Flores y Rodriguez）來慶祝他進入雪茄行業(yè)滿18周年,。目前這個系列正在向零售商發(fā)貨,。
18周年的煙葉混合是在PDR10周年系列的基礎上略加改動形成的,。10周年系列使用的茄衣是厄瓜多爾哈瓦那煙葉,，這次換成了深色的厄瓜多爾蘇門答臘馬杜羅煙葉,。按照弗洛雷斯的說法,，更換的茄衣煙葉給雪茄的口味提供了一定力度,，也同時讓口感呈現奶油和甜的特質,。
雪茄的內部煙葉配方沒有變化，和10周年系列一樣,，茄套是多米尼加的奧羅煙葉,，茄芯是多米尼加的皮洛托古巴、尼加拉瓜的賈拉帕地區(qū)種植的煙葉的混合成份,。
“弗洛雷斯和羅德里格斯”系列有五個尺寸,。米麗菲爾皇冠（Millefleurs Corona）,，42環(huán)徑，5英寸,，在美國的售價5.71美元,。羅布圖，52環(huán)徑,，5英寸,，售價13.24美元。寬丘吉爾（Wide Churchill）,，58環(huán)徑,，5.125英寸，售價14.71美元,。大公牛,，54環(huán)徑，6英寸,，售價16.18美元,。雙尖魚雷（double-tapered Figurado），52環(huán)徑,，6.5英寸,，售價17.65美元。所有尺寸都是每盒24支的包裝,。
雪茄是在多米尼加共和國的PDR雪茄廠生產的,。
Whether the number is even or odd, cigarmakers like to celebrate anniversaries with commemorative smokes, and PDR Cigars is no different. Brand owner Abe Flores celebrates his 18th year in the business with the Flores y Rodriguez 18th Anniversary, which is shipping to retailers now.
The blend for 18th Anniversary is a twist on PDR’s 10th Anniversary cigar. The Ecuador Habano wrapper of the 10th was replaced with a dark Ecuador Sumatra maduro leaf. According to Flores, the Sumatra wrapper increases the strength but also provides a creamier, sweeter smoke. The interior tobaccos, however, are the same: Dominican Olor binder with a filler combination of Dominican Piloto Cubano and Nicaraguan tobacco from Jalapa.
The Flores y Rodriguez 18th Anniversary line comes in five sizes: Millefleurs Corona, measuring 5 inches by 42 ring gauge ($5.71); Robusto, 5 by 52 ($13.24); Wide Churchill, 5 1/8 by 58 ($14.71); Grand Toro, 6 by 54 ($16.18); and the double-tapered Figurado, 6 1/2 by 52 ($17.65). All sizes are packaged in boxes of 24.
The Flores y Rodriguez brand is produced at the PDR factory in the Dominican Republic.
