洛基·帕特尔的最新常规产品线金标（Gold Label）系列已经发货了，这比计划要晚了些，原本是5月底或者6月初发货，外包装延误是导致延期的原因。

金标系列在尼加拉瓜的埃斯特利地区的塔维库萨（Tavicusa）雪茄厂生产，茄衣是厄瓜多尔哈瓦那烟叶，茄套有两片，一片是康涅狄格阔叶，一片是康涅狄格阴植叶。茄芯是尼加拉瓜烟叶。公司介绍，这个系列的口味强度是中等浓度。

金标系列有四个尺寸。半皇冠（Half Corona），46环径，3.5英寸，售价9.7美元。罗布图，50环径，5.5英寸，售价12美元。公牛，54环径，6.5英寸，售价13美元。六十（ Sixty），60环径，6英寸，售价14美元。这个价格比之前预报的价格要略贵一些。

虽然名字听起来很昂贵，但洛基·帕特尔是将这个系列定位成日常抽茄者群体，在该公司的产品线里，价格是相对便宜的。

Cigarmaker Rocky Patel’s newest regular-production line, Gold Label, is off to cigar shops. It’s slightly late—when it was previewed to retailers at this spring’s PCA trade show, it was scheduled to ship by late May or early June. Packaging delays are responsible for the postponement. 

Gold Label is made in Estelí, Nicaragua, at Patel’s Tavicusa factory. The blend consists of an Ecuador Habano cover leaf, two Connecticut-seed binder leaves (one broadleaf, the other shade) and all-Nicaraguan filler. According to the company, the cigars are medium in body.

The line is available in four sizes: Half Corona, measuring 3 1/2 inches by 46 ring gauge ($9.70); Robusto, 5 1/2 by 50 ($12); Toro, 6 1/2 by 54 ($13); and Sixty, 6 by 60 ($14). Despite the luxurious-sounding name, Patel intends Gold Label to be for “an everyday smoker” and is relatively inexpensive, though some of the pricing will be slightly higher than previously reported.
