下周一，阿什顿雪茄公司旗下的古巴芬芳将会运输一批新品前往美国各地的特定零售商，如果你居住地有阿什顿公司的顶级零售商，你就可以提前品尝一下这款名为“贵族”的新品。这次发货将针对阿什顿公司名单里的前300个零售商，累计发货3000盒。

贵族系列有四个尺寸：摄政（Regency），50环径，5.5英寸，售价19美元。加冕（Coronation），52环径，6英寸，售价19.5美元。总督（Viceroy），52环径，6.25英寸，售价19.75美元。君主制（Monarchy），56环径，6.5英寸，售价20美元。每个尺寸都是每盒24支的包装。

贵族系列最早是2014年推出，当时只有一个尺寸，后来扩展到三个尺寸。如今，改款后的贵族系列更换了烟叶混合配方以及外包装，变成一个四个款式的常规产品线。这个版本已经是尼加拉瓜的老爹雪茄公司代工生产的第七版产品线。

最初的贵族系列使用的茄衣是厄瓜多尔哈瓦那烟叶，茄套茄芯是尼加拉瓜烟叶。改版后的茄衣是色泽更深的墨西哥圣安德烈斯奥斯库罗（oscuro）烟叶，茄套、茄芯是尼加拉瓜烟叶，分别来自埃斯特利、贾拉帕、纳曼吉（Namanji ）产区。外包装和烟标采用了引人瞩目的薰衣草颜色。

这次发货的还有800套限量版的品鉴套装，四支雪茄，每款各一支，以及一支都彭的雪茄打火机，这个套装的建议零售价是375美元。

If your local retailer is a top Ashton account, then you’ll be able to try the new La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse next week. First shipments of the new cigars will be heading to select shops around the United States on Monday. According to brand owner Ashton Distributors Inc., this initial shipment of Noblesse is only going to the company’s top 300 accounts, and only 3,000 boxes will be released. If your tobacconist isn’t a top shop, then you’re going to have to wait for a future shipment.

As an added bonus, Ashton is also offering a limited-edition sampler set that includes four cigars (one size each of the Noblesse) and a branded S.T. Dupont Maxijet lighter. The set has a suggested retail price of $375, with only 800 sets available.

The La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse was on exhibit at Ashton’s booth during the PCA trade show in March. It’s the seventh line in the now extensive La Aroma de Cuba series, which is made in Nicaragua by My Father Cigars. Noblesse started as a single-size release in 2014 before expanding to a three-size line. However, the cigars have been commercially unavailable for several years. Now, it’s a full-fledged brand made in limited quantities.

The new version is slightly different from the original. The wrapper went from Ecuador Habano to a darker Mexican San Andrés oscuro. The binder and filler tobaccos are all Nicaraguan, specifically from Estelí, Jalapa, and Namanji. 

With the new blend came a packaging redesign. Noblesse’s boxes and bands are now presented in a striking shade of nder. 

Noblesse comes in four sizes: Regency, measuring 5 1/2 inches by 50 ring gauge ($19); Coronation, 6 by 52 ($19.50); Viceroy, 6 1/4 by 52 ($19.75); and Monarchy, 6 1/2 by 56 ($20). Each size will be available in boxes of 24.
