在今年3月份美国PCA贸易展上，通用雪茄公司的展台陈列了“救赎”（Redemption）系列雪茄，可以说是最热门产品之一。这款雪茄是位于迈阿密的青铜泰坦（El Titan de Bronze）雪茄厂生产的，委托给通用雪茄公司经销。目前雪茄正在发货给零售商。

这似乎是一个不寻常的合作。之前，通用雪茄公司和青铜泰坦雪茄厂合作过，前者委托后者生产高希霸的M系列，以及帕特加斯的限量版产品青铜系列（Partagas de Bronce）。这次合作，是青铜泰坦雪茄厂将自有品牌“救赎”拿出来交给通用雪茄公司经销，并不涉及其他雪茄品牌。

这次发货的“救赎”系列是全新的烟叶混合配方，茄衣是厄瓜多尔哈瓦那烟叶，茄套是尼加拉瓜的埃斯特利产区的烟叶，茄芯是尼加拉瓜的埃斯特利、贾拉帕产区的烟叶。有三个尺寸。皇冠，46环径，5.625英寸。罗布图，50环径，5英寸。公牛，52环径，6英寸。售价从每支15.99美元到17.99美元不等。每款都是每盒10支的包装。

青铜泰坦雪茄厂成立于1995年，老板是桑迪·科瓦斯（Sandy Cobas），工厂位于美国迈阿密的小哈瓦那社区，是迈阿密目前为数不多的优质雪茄生产厂之一。

而通用雪茄公司是斯堪的纳维亚烟草公司的子公司，STG拥有、出品、经销一大批著名的雪茄品牌如麦克纽杜（Macanudo）、非古帕特加斯、CAO、古巴荣耀（La Gloria Cubana）。

Redemption from El Titan de Bronze was one of the buzzier products shown by General Cigar Co. at the PCA trade show in March. News had just broken that the small Miami cigar factory signed a distribution deal with General to handle its Redemption brand, and the cigars are heading to retailers now.

While it may seem an unusual alliance, the two companies have worked together before. General contracted El Titan to produce a Miami-made line of Cohiba (Serie M) as well a limited-edition Partagas (Partagas de Bronce). The difference here is that El Titan not only produces Redemption, but wholly owns the brand as well. General serves as Redemption’s exclusive distributor. (It does not distribute El Titan’s other cigar lines.)  

Although El Titan de Bronze already produced a Redemption series, this is an entirely new Redemption blend that consists of a sun-grown, Ecuador Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder from Estelí and Nicaraguan filler from Estelí and Jalapa. It comes in three sizes: Corona (at 5 5/8 inches by 46 ring), Robusto (5 by 50) and Toro (6 by 52). They have suggested retail prices ranging from $15.99 to $17.99 each, and are packaged in 10-count boxes.

Started in 1995 by Sandy Cobas, El Titan de Bronze is located in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood and is one of the few factories left in Miami producing premium cigars. 

General Cigar is a subsidiary of Scandinavian Tobacco Group, which owns, produces and distributes cigar brands such as Macanudo, Partagas, CAO and La Gloria Cubana.
