为了庆祝公司成立13周年,Room101的品牌所有者马特·布斯 (Matt Booth)计划今年7月份在PCA贸易展上发布一款限量版雪茄,此外他的常规产品线大回报系列也将增加一款尼加拉瓜版本的新品。
13周年限量版是公牛尺寸,52环径,6英寸,20支每盒的包装,雪茄包装盒是粉红色。雪茄使用了全尼加拉瓜烟叶,这些烟叶都是在A.J. 费尔南德斯的自家农场种植的,雪茄也是在费尔南德斯雪茄厂卷制的。之前的10周年、12周年限量版都是费尔南德斯代工卷制的。11周年的限量版,不知道出自哪里,公司没有透露。
13周年限量版雪茄将生产1500盒,雪茄盒打开后的内盖上的文字看起来是颠倒的,这不是印刷错误,是布斯故意而为之。
大回报尼加拉瓜也完全使用尼加拉瓜烟叶,是埃斯特利的乔亚雪茄公司代工生产的。Big Payback(这个词用中文的“大酬宾”很般配)常规产品线里的康涅狄格版本也是在这里生产的,而马杜罗版本是在洪都拉斯生产的。有两个装盒形式,40支一盒,或者20支一捆。一共三个尺寸,罗布图,50环径,5.25英寸。公牛,54环径,6英寸。戈多,60环径,6英寸。
这两个版本的价格还没有最后确定,但布斯表达定价将和现有产品线的价格标准保持一致。
Room101的13周年限量版预计今年夏季可以发货给零售商,而大回报的尼加拉瓜版本预计今年秋季发货。
附参考文章:
Room101 brand owner Matt Booth is celebrating 13 years in the cigar business with a limited-edition smoke that will debut at the PCA trade show this July, along with The Big Payback Nicaragua, a regular-production, Nicaraguan offshoot of his core brand The Big Payback.
The Room101 13th Anniversary is a 6-inch-by-52-ring-gauge toro that will come in pink boxes of 20 cigars. A Nicaraguan puro, all of the tobaccos were grown on farms owned by A.J. Fernandez, who also makes the cigars at his factory. Fernandez produced the 10th and 12th Anniversary releases for Booth as well (the factory for the 11th Anniversary was kept secret).
Booth told Cigar Aficionado that approximately 1,500 boxes of 13th Anniversary cigars will be produced. If the text on the box's inner lid looks upside down, it's not a mistake. Booth purposely inverted the letters for what he calls "lucky 13."
The Big Payback Nicaragua also consists entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos and is made by Joya de Nicaragua in Estelí, Nicaragua (where the Connecticut version of Big Payback is made, while the Maduro version is made in Honduras). It’s offered in either teal boxes of 40 or bundles of 20 and there are three sizes: Robusto, measuring 5 1/4 by 50; Toro, 6 by 54; and Gordo, 6 by 60.
Prices for both releases have yet to be finalized but Booth stated that pricing will be in line with comparable products in his portfolio.
Room101 13th Anniversary is expected to reach retailers by the end of the summer, while The Big Payback Nicaragua is expected to arrive this fall.
