第16名 高希霸特制金字塔（Cohiba Pirámides Extra）
如果拋掉限量版和特別版,，特制金字塔應(yīng)該是古巴高希霸常規(guī)產(chǎn)品線里唯一的標(biāo)志產(chǎn)品,，它的環(huán)徑是最粗的，當(dāng)然,，售價(jià)也是常規(guī)產(chǎn)品線里最貴的,。如果你愿意出錢揮霍一把,，你將體驗(yàn)到我們?cè)?023年抽到的最具活力的一款高希霸。這款特制金字塔比傳統(tǒng)的古巴金字塔尺寸更粗,、更長(zhǎng),。入口后從栗子、肉桂到杏仁醬,、黑胡椒,，還有潛在的橡木味,。卷制高希霸的煙葉在最后一段發(fā)酵環(huán)節(jié)中會(huì)放在橡木桶里一段時(shí)間，這是高希霸雪茄的標(biāo)志口味,。
Excluding limited editions and special releases, the Cuban Cohiba Pirámides Extra is the only figurado in the line. It’s also the thickest, not to mention one of the most expensive. If you’re willing to splurge on this large torpedo, you’ll experience the most dynamic Cohiba we smoked in 2023. The cigar is called Pirámides Extra because it’s a little thicker and a little longer than traditional Cuban pirámides sizes. But that little “extra” was also put into the blend, as it offers an elegant profile starting with chestnut and cinnamon to almond paste and black pepper. The underlying oakiness is a signature of the brand—Cohiba’s tobacco spends time in oak barrels during final fermentation.
第17名 蒙特1935周年系列鉆石版格蘭德（Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante Grande）
美國(guó)阿塔迪斯煙草公司今年五月發(fā)布蒙特（非古）1935系列鉆石版,，讓蒙特這個(gè)品牌保持著有趣和新鮮。這款煙葉混合配方起初沒(méi)有被采納,，但是阿塔迪斯煙草公司的產(chǎn)品能力主管拉斐爾·諾達(dá)爾和生產(chǎn)方尼加拉瓜的A.J.費(fèi)爾南德斯研究之后認(rèn)為,，這個(gè)煙葉混合配方的妙處還需要再長(zhǎng)一些的發(fā)酵時(shí)間，才能體現(xiàn)出來(lái),。所以從2020年等到2023年,，這個(gè)鉆石版系列才推出。產(chǎn)品線有六個(gè)尺寸,，格蘭德是其中最粗的一款,，60環(huán)徑，6英寸,。這款雪茄完全使用了尼加拉瓜煙葉卷制,。茄衣煙葉是費(fèi)爾南德斯在尼加拉瓜的賈拉帕地區(qū)種植的古巴雜交種子煙葉，茄套是在奧梅特佩火山島種植的克里奧羅煙葉,，茄芯是在埃斯特利地區(qū)種植的煙葉,。點(diǎn)燃后雪茄散發(fā)出胡椒、皮革,、泥土的味道,，隨后是源源不斷的烤堅(jiān)果、烘焙香料,、黑巧克力的味道,。
Altadis U.S.A. keeps Montecristo fresh and interesting with the 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante. It started out as a rejected prototype, but Rafael Nodal of Altadis and cigarmaker A.J. Fernandez returned to the blend and realized that a few more years of age transformed the cigar into something extraordinary. Edición Diamante consists of Nicaraguan tobaccos, featuring a wrapper from a hybrid Cuban-seed plant grown in Jalapa. Underneath is filler from Estelí and a Criollo binder from the volcanic island of Ometepe. First puffs erupt with pepper, leather and earth, but a steady flow of roasted nuts, baking spices and dark chocolate even out the smoke.
第18名 塔圖阿赫邁阿密哈瓦那系列獵人（Tatuaje Miami Havana Cazadores）
在佛羅里達(dá)州的多拉爾，老爹雪茄公司總部的背后,，有一家名為“古巴國(guó)王”的小雪茄廠,，這是老爹雪茄公司在邁阿密的雪茄廠，生產(chǎn)復(fù)古風(fēng)格的雪茄,，也算是對(duì)美國(guó)正在消亡的手工雪茄行業(yè)的致敬,。除了生產(chǎn)自有品牌,，老爹雪茄公司還為塔圖阿赫雪茄的皮特·約翰遜代工生產(chǎn)雪茄,。雖然老爹和塔圖阿赫品牌的大部分產(chǎn)品是在尼加拉瓜生產(chǎn)的，仍然還有一小部分在邁阿密卷制,。在這里,，卷茄師可以卷制經(jīng)典的古巴風(fēng)格雪茄，比如這款“獵人”,，43環(huán)徑,，6.375英寸,，朗斯代爾型號(hào)。茄衣是厄瓜多爾煙葉,，茄套,、茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉。雪茄很通透,，抽起來(lái)很暢快,，燃燒也很均勻，散發(fā)出泥土,、黑胡椒,、咖啡的濃郁味道，伴隨著巧克力,、肉豆蔻的香氣,。
In the back of My Father Cigars’ headquarters in Doral, Florida, there’s a small factory called El Rey de Los Habanos. It serves as My Father’s Miami-made cigar operation and is a throwback of sorts, paying homage to the dying industry of handmade cigars in the United States. In addition to its own lines, My Father produces the Tatuaje brand for Pete Johnson. Although most of My Father’s and Tatuaje’s cigars are made in Nicaragua, a few are still produced in this small facility. Here, the rollers make classic Cuban-style cigars like the Tatuaje Miami Havana Cazadores, a fine lonsdale full of earth, black pepper and coffee with sweeter hints of nutmeg and chocolate.
第19名 盧西亞諾外交事務(wù)皇冠（Foreign Affair By Luciano Cigars Corona）
1948年瑪琳·迪特里希（Marlene Dietrich）有一部和“外交事務(wù)”同名的經(jīng)典電影，但這款雪茄并不為喚起好萊塢的黃金時(shí)代,，也不是為了緩和外交關(guān)系,。出品方盧西亞諾雪茄公司稱這個(gè)品牌是“雪茄行業(yè)和雪茄客全球化的頌歌”。這個(gè)系列的雪茄使用的茄衣是厄瓜多爾蘇門答臘煙葉,，茄套兩片,，分別是尼加拉瓜煙葉和厄瓜多爾煙葉，茄芯是多米尼加,、尼加拉瓜,、哥斯達(dá)黎加的混合煙葉。這款雪茄富含一系列烘焙香料,，如肉桂,、多香果、生姜和肉豆蔻,，伴隨著燃燒,，空氣中彌漫著全麥餅干、杏仁和蜂蜜的味道,。
There’s a classic Marlene Dietrich film of the same name from 1948, but this cigar isn’t meant to evoke Hollywood’s Golden Era. Nor was it created to smooth over diplomatic relations. Luciano Cigars calls the brand “an ode to the globalization of the cigar industry and its smokers.” Lofty concept aside, the Foreign Affair is an impressive smoke made in Nicaragua and wrapped in a tasty leaf of Sumatra-seed tobacco grown in Ecuador. The Costa Rican tobacco in the filler gives the Corona a unique bit of X factor. It’s loaded with an array of baking-spice notes such as cinnamon, allspice, ginger and nutmeg. Hints of graham cracker, almond and honey round out the smoke.
第20名 奧爾梅克克拉羅系列大皇冠（Olmec Claro Corona Gorda）
基石雪茄公司的奧爾梅克克拉羅系列給我們上了人類學(xué)的一課,。奧爾梅克人曾經(jīng)是古代定居在中美洲的一個(gè)人種，如今的墨西哥地區(qū),，這里種植著適合作為茄衣的墨西哥蓋葉,。這個(gè)雪茄品牌有克拉羅、馬杜羅兩個(gè)顏色的版本,，克拉羅系列的色澤要淺一些,。這款產(chǎn)品是委托A.J.費(fèi)爾南德斯在尼加拉瓜制造的。這款雪茄燃燒和抽吸都十分均勻,，煙霧濃郁而稠密,。又甜又辣,，呈現(xiàn)出生姜、柑橘,、吐司,、香草的味道。
Foundation Cigar Co. gives us a lesson in anthropology with its Olmec Claro line. Olmec is named after the ancient Mesoamerican people who occupied the area in Mexico where tobacco is grown today. That same tobacco is what defines the Olmec series, as the cigars are wrapped in Mexican cover leaf. Made in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez, Olmec comes in two wrapper types, Maduro and Claro (the Claro being slightly lighter). We found outstanding balance in the Claro Corona Gorda, which delivers a dense, sweet-and-spicy smoke. Bursts of ginger and citrus provide the zest while accents of nuts, toast and vanilla bring sweet detail.
