弗雷泰洛雪茄公司旗下有一款在尼加拉瓜生产的阿勒奎因品牌，如今推出了一款色泽更淡的康涅狄格版本，命名为阿勒奎因康涅狄格系列。今年早些时候，这款产品在拉斯维加斯举办的美国PCA贸易展进行了展览，计划本周开始向零售商发货。
阿勒奎因是西班牙语，意思是“丑角”。雪茄的烟标上装饰着丑角印花装饰的图案，还有16世纪意大利喜剧片里的丑角人物佩戴的彩色钻石图案。这个品牌是以16世纪意大利喜剧里的一个人物哈勒昆（Harlequin）为原型，烟标的色彩与方格图案是指角色在舞台上表演时穿的五颜六色的服装。
阿勒奎因是2020年发布的，当时正值新冠疫情爆发，如今，全球经济不再受到疫情困扰，公司创始人奥马尔·德·弗里亚斯（Omar De Frias）决定丰富这一品牌，对产品线进行扩展。
这个系列是在尼加拉瓜的乔亚雪茄厂代工生产，茄衣是厄瓜多尔种植的康涅狄格种子烟叶，茄套是苏门答腊烟叶，茄芯是尼加拉瓜、秘鲁的混合烟叶。有两个尺寸，盒压造型，罗布图，52环径，5.5英寸。公牛，54环径，6.25英寸。每盒都是20支装，零售价分别是每支11.5美元、12美元。
The Nicaraguan Arlequín line from Fratello Cigars is now available in a lighter version covered in a Connecticut-seed wrapper, aptly named Arlequín Connecticut. It was previewed earlier this year at the PCA trade show in Las Vegas and will be shipping to retailers this week.
Artfully themed and playfully branded, Arlequín is named for the Harlequin stock character of 16th century Italian comedy, or commedia dell’arte. The two-toned boxes and checkered patterns on the side of each cigar band are references to the colorful costumes Harlequins traditionally wore while prancing about on stage.
Arlequín was introduced in 2020, during the onset of the Covid-19 outbreak. Now that the brand has found a following (and the global economy is no longer plagued by a pandemic), Fratello owner and founder Omar De Frias decided to revisit the line and expand it with a lighter alternative.
Arlequín Connecticut is made in Nicaragua at the Joya de Nicaragua factory with an Ecuadoran wrapper grown from Connecticut seeds, Ecuadoran binder and filler blend of Nicaraguan and Peruvian tobacco. It’s offered in two box-pressed sizes: Robusto, measuring 5 1/2 inches by 52 ring gauge, and a Toro at 6 1/4 by 54. Each size comes in a 20-count box with suggested retail prices of $11.50 and $12 each, respectively.
