去年，当通用雪茄公司委托A.J.费尔南德斯公司生产潘趣暗黑破坏神时，这款雪茄被称为迄今为止力度最强的潘趣雪茄。如今，通用雪茄公司将为这个系列增加两个新尺寸，这样在产的尺寸将达到五款。

潘趣的高级品牌经理埃德·拉赫曼（Ed Lahmann）说，就像浓茄一样，这两个尺寸也不适合所有抽茄者。

第一个尺寸是一款短的完美型号，名为Stump（树桩），最粗的地方是60环径，4.5英寸。这个不规则形状和潘趣的“冠军”是一个型号。Stump在美国的售价是每支7.49美元，每盒25支装。

虽然暗黑破坏神系列已经有60*6尺寸的产品，但通用雪茄公司还是推出了更粗的产品。即将推出的El Diablo是一个盒压造型的庞然大物，66环径，6.5英寸，在美国的售价是每支8.99美元，每盒20支。

潘趣的暗黑破坏神系列的强劲口味来自烟叶混合，茄衣是奥斯库罗色的厄瓜多尔苏门答腊烟叶，茄套是康涅狄格烟叶，茄芯是尼加拉瓜、洪都拉斯烟叶。所有新尺寸都是委托A.J.费尔南德斯公司生产。

根据通用雪茄公司的介绍，雪茄将在4月17日前发往美国各地的零售商。

When General Cigar teamed up with A.J. Fernandez last year to release the Punch Diablo, it was billed as the strongest Punch cigar to date. This month, General is adding two new cigars to this full-bodied brand, bringing the line to a total of five sizes.

“Just like the full-bodied blend, these sizes are not for everyone,” said Punch senior brand manager Ed Lahmann.

The first new addition is a short, curvy perfecto called Stump, measuring 4 1/2 inches by 60 ring gauge at its fattest point. If the format looks familiar, it’s because Stump is the same unorthodox figurado as the Punch Champion. The Punch Diablo Stump comes packaged in 25-count boxes and is set to retail for $7.49 each.

Although the Punch Diablo line already has a 6 by 60, General wanted something even bigger for the brand. The upcoming El Diablo is a chunky, box-pressed behemoth measuring 6 1/2 by 66. These come in boxes of 20 and will retail for $8.99.

The Punch Diablo series draws its strength from a powerful blend consisting of a dark, oscuro Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper, Connecticut broadleaf binder and a filler of hearty Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos. Like the rest of the line, the new sizes are made by A.J. Fernandez at his factory in Nicaragua.

According to General, the cigars should ship to retailers by April 17.
