8月12日,维亚耶(Viaje)雪茄公司出品的工艺系列的一个新品将开始向美国的零售商发货。公司老板安德烈·法卡斯(Andre Farkas)这次选择了尼加拉瓜的乔亚雪茄公司代工生产这款产品,对他来说,这一次的意义可能如同回家。
维亚耶雪茄成立于2008年,在2007年安德烈·法卡斯就找到乔亚雪茄公司生产第一款产品,维亚耶的奥罗系列。之后两家公司没有再合作过。
这一次推出的工艺系列的新品名为“根”(Roots),是工艺系列的第六款雪茄,52环径,6英寸。茄衣是厄瓜多尔哈瓦那烟叶,茄套是尼加拉瓜烟叶,茄芯是尼加拉瓜、巴西、美国的混合烟叶。每盒10支装,每支售价11美元。每一支雪茄是单独用箔纸包装的。
维亚耶雪茄的工艺系列是2018年推出的,之前发布的产品有Bales on Bales(成捆)、For the Love of the Leaf(叶之爱)。
It’s a homecoming of sorts for Viaje, as company founder Andre Farkas has returned to Joya de Nicaragua for his latest project: Roots. It’s the sixth cigar in Viaje’s Craft Series and will ship to retailers on Monday.
Joya de Nicaragua had previously made the Viaje Oro in 2007, but the two companies haven’t worked together since. When asked why he wanted Nicaragua’s oldest cigar factory to produce Roots, Farkas responded: “I had always loved the Antaño. That blend hits my profile dead center. It only made sense to try to work with a factory that made a cigar that I loved.”
Roots comes in one size, a Toro measuring 6 inches by 52 ring gauge. It’s made of an Ecuador Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and a filler blend of tobacco from Nicaragua, Brazil and the United States. The foil-wrapped cigars are packaged in 10-count boxes and retail for $11 each, or $110 per box.
Viaje’s Craft Series started in 2018 and includes cigars such as Bales on Bales and For the Love of the Leaf.
