老化室雪茄品牌的所有人拉斐尔·诺达尔（Rafael Nodal）在他的产品线里加入了新的乐章，计划2月晚些时候在美国烟草+展览会上亮相。这款雪茄采用全尼加拉瓜烟叶卷制，名为老化室夸特罗尼加拉瓜奏鸣曲（Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata），是夸特罗产品线的延伸。这个产品线的“大师”曾经在《雪茄爱好者》杂志社的2019年度测评中获得年度冠军。

由于受到莫扎特、舒伯特和贝多芬等作曲家的奏鸣曲的影响，擅长钢琴和小提琴的诺达尔本人希望创作出他认为相当于雪茄奏鸣曲的款式。他再次求助于雪茄制造商A.J.费尔南德斯，实现自己的愿景。这款Sonata的所有烟叶都是费尔南德斯的农场培育出来的，诺达尔表示这款Sonata的烟叶强度会相对轻一些。

雪茄在费尔南德斯的雪茄厂生产，有六个尺寸。 Espressivo，50环径，5英寸，零售价是每支13.02美元。 Maestro，52环径，6英寸，鱼雷造型，零售价13.13美元。Vibrato，54环径，6英寸，零售价13.24美元。Concerto，50环径，7英寸，零售价13.37美元。Grande，60环径，6英寸，零售价13.55美元。Impromptu，52环径，6.5英寸，零售价14.98美元，双尖鱼雷造型。除了Impromptu，每个尺寸都是每盒20支的包装，Impromptu是每盒10支的包装。

2月22日在拉斯维加斯举办的TPE贸易展上，这个系列产品将和观众见面，随后在3月中旬向零售商发货。雪茄是美国烟草公司旗下的阿塔迪斯公司负责经销。

Brand owner and musician Rafael Nodal has added another movement to his symphonic suite of Aging Room cigars, and it’s being introduced later this month at the Tobacco Plus Expo trade show. Called Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata, the all-Nicaraguan cigar is a line extension of the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua, a high-scoring brand that won Cigar of the Year in 2019 for its Maestro size.

Drawing influence from the sonatas of such composers as Mozart, Schubert and Beethoven, Nodal—a pianist and violinist himself—wanted to create what he believed would be the cigar equivalent of a sonata. He did this by once again turning to cigarmaker A.J. Fernandez to help realize his vision. As with the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua, all the tobacco in Sonata was grown on Fernandez’s farms, but Nodal says that Sonata is a bit lighter in body on account of the different seed varietals and longer fermentation process. 

Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata is made at Fernandez’s factory in Estelí and comes in six sizes: Espressivo, measuring 5 inches by 50 ring gauge ($13.02); a 6-by-52 torpedo called Maestro ($13.13); Vibrato at 6 by 54 ($13.24); Concerto, 7 by 50 ($13.37); a 6-by-60 Grande ($13.55) and a double-tapered figurado with a suggested retail price of $14.98 that measures 6 1/2 by 52 called Impromptu. All sizes come in 20-count boxes except for the Impromptu, which comes in boxes of 10.

After their preview to retailers at the TPE trade show, which starts on February 22 in Las Vegas, the cigars should ship to retailers around the middle of March. Aging Room cigars are distributed by Altadis U.S.A., a division of Tabacalera USA.
