美国阿塔迪斯烟草公司旗下的非古罗密欧与朱丽叶雪茄品牌近期推出一款新品，这款名为“午夜扭曲”（Midnight Twist）的雪茄属于尼加拉瓜珍藏系列，新奇之处在于茄衣由两片深浅颜色不同的烟叶交替卷制而成，雪茄看起来很像理发店外的旋转理发杆。3月份美国PCA贸易展，这款新品已经和观众见面，目前已经发货给零售商。

这不是非古罗密欧与朱丽叶品牌第一次采用这样的茄衣设计，2022年，该品牌推出过两款理发杆风格的雪茄，是在多米尼加共和国的加西亚雪茄厂卷制的。

今年推出的“午夜扭曲”是阿塔迪斯烟草公司的拉斐尔·诺达尔（Rafael Nodal）与尼加拉瓜雪茄制造商A.J.费尔南德斯共同研发的，尼加拉瓜珍藏系列也是他们合作推出的产品线。“午夜扭曲”有两个尺寸，一个是“扭曲公牛”（Twisted Toro），54环径，6英寸，售价10.92美元。一个是“扭曲的爱情故事”（Twisted Love Story），完美造型，46环径，4.25英寸，每支售价9.92美元。根据公司介绍，这两款雪茄的口味浓度是中等强度。

这两款“午夜扭曲”雪茄是在费尔南德斯旗下的圣罗塔诺雪茄厂（San Lotano factory）卷制的，每盒25支装，包装盒为蓝色。

There’s a new Romeo y Julieta Reserva Nicaragua called Midnight Twist, and it comes with a notable visual distinction. The “twist” is that the cigar is made with two wrapper leaves, one dark and the other lighter, which are rolled together, making the cigars resemble a barber-pole. It appeared at both the TPE trade show in January and the PCA trade show last month and has already shipped to retailers.

This is not the first time Altadis has taken a Romeo y Julieta cigar and given it the barber pole treatment—in 2022, the company added twisted versions to its Romeo Reserva Real line. 

Midnight Twist is a collaboration between Rafael Nodal, head of product capability for Tabacalera U.S.A., and A.J. Fernandez, the pair behind the original Reserva Real Nicaragua line. Consisting entirely of Nicaraguan leaves grown on farms owned by Fernandez, Midnight Twist is available in two sizes: Twisted Toro ($10.92), measuring 6 inches by 54 ring gauge; and Twisted Love Story ($9.92), a perfecto measuring 4 1/4 by 46. According to the company, the cigars are medium-full in terms of strength. 

While the Reserva Real Nicaragua line is made at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua in Estelí, Midnight Twist is produced at Fernandez’s San Lotano factory. The cigars ship in blue boxes of 25.
