除了古巴雪茄節(jié)上發(fā)布即將上市的主要品牌雪茄之外，還有一些古巴新款雪茄即將上市，這其中有限量版,，也有一些是小雪茄品牌的延展產(chǎn)品。
今年,，古巴發(fā)行的GR（Gran Reserva ）系列采用了高希霸導(dǎo)師（Esplendidos）。RR和GR系列通常選擇某個(gè)品牌中比較流行的尺寸,，使用發(fā)酵時(shí)間更久的煙葉卷制,。今年卷制這款高希霸導(dǎo)師GR的煙葉收獲于2017年，已經(jīng)發(fā)酵五年,。雪茄47環(huán)徑,，7英寸，和常規(guī)生產(chǎn)的導(dǎo)師一樣的尺寸,。這款導(dǎo)師是每盒15支,，外包裝盒是黑色鋼琴烤漆，限量生產(chǎn)5000盒,。目前還不知道定價(jià),。
羅密歐與朱麗葉推出一款丘比特（Cupidos），這是古巴雪茄產(chǎn)品線里的一個(gè)新款,。只在哈瓦那專家店,、哈瓦那之家店銷售。55環(huán)徑,，5.875英寸。這款豐滿的魚類造型在古巴雪茄廠被稱為維羅納（Verona）,。丘比特是每盒20支包裝,，帶一個(gè)副標(biāo)。標(biāo)注哈瓦那之家專賣,。
而定位比較初階的威古洛（Vegueros）四年來第一次推出新款,。這款名為離心機(jī)（Centrogordos）的雪茄很短，54環(huán)徑,，4英寸,。威古洛上一次發(fā)布新款還是2019年的時(shí)候。這款新品是每罐16支裝,。2013年,，威古洛這個(gè)品牌進(jìn)行了新的外包裝設(shè)計(jì),，開始發(fā)布新尺寸。這個(gè)品牌的創(chuàng)建是對(duì)古巴煙農(nóng)表達(dá)致敬,。
所有新品里最令人意外的是古巴榮耀的土耳其（ Turquinos）,，這是常規(guī)產(chǎn)品線。要知道,，古巴榮耀已經(jīng)幾十年沒有發(fā)布新款了,。要么是哈瓦那之家專賣，要么就是地區(qū)限量版的形式,。這款土耳其50環(huán)徑,、5.5英寸，和好友的逍遙特級(jí)（Epicure Especial）的尺寸一樣,。
目前還不知悉這些新品的具體上架日期,。如果按照哈伯納斯公司的慣例，這些新品將陸續(xù)錯(cuò)開時(shí)間發(fā)往世界各地,，每個(gè)地區(qū)在新品上架前都會(huì)召開新品發(fā)布會(huì),。
In addition to the major releases announced by Cuba’s cigar industry during the Habanos festival, there are even more new cigars coming from Cuba. Some of them are limited editions while others are unexpected line extensions to Cuba’s smaller brands.
This year, Habanos chose the Cohiba Esplendidos as its Gran Reserva release. Reservas and Gran Reservas are typically popular or emblematic sizes within a brand, but made with older tobaccos than usual. In the case of the Cohiba Esplendidos Gran Reserva, Habanos says that all the tobacco used in the cigar has been aged for five years, and is from a 2017 crop. The Gran Reserva measures 7 inches long by 47 ring gauge, just like regular-production Esplendidos, but this special release comes in a 15-count case finished in a glossy black piano finish. Only 5,000 boxes are being produced. No word yet on pricing, but Gran Reservas are always considerably expensive.
The Romeo y Julieta Cupidos is a completely new size in the Cuban portfolio, and it’s a cigar that’s made exclusively for La Casa del Habano franchise shops and Habanos Specialist retailers. At 5 7/8 by 55, the plump torpedo is referred to as a Verona in Cuban cigar factories. Cupidos come in ornately enameled boxes of 20, with secondary bands denoting their exclusivity.
The small, competitively-priced Vegueros line is getting its first new size in four years. The new Centrogordos, an extremely short cigar that measures 4 by 54, is the first addition since the Centrofinos was added in 2019. It will come in 16-count tins, consistent with the rest of the line. Vegueros was completely re-imagined and rebooted in 2013 with new sizes and new packaging. The brand is supposed to be a tribute to Cuba’s tobacco farmers.
Perhaps the most unexpected of all the upcoming releases was the announcement of the La Gloria Cubana Turquinos. It’s slated to be a regular-production size in the very small La Gloria Cubana brand, which has not been expanded in decades. Any new La Glorias that have appeared throughout the years have either been La Casa del Habano exclusives or part of the Regional Edition program. At 5 1/2 by 50, the Turquinos are the same size as the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial.
There’s no word on pricing or release dates. If Habanos stays on its current trend, the cigars will be staggered into the global markets whereby one country will launch the cigar via premier party before its released to the rest of the world.
