当下雪茄价格有上涨的趋势，一些品牌发行的新茄零售价每支甚至超过100美元。对比之下，雪茄制造商库里瓦里（Curivari）公司新推出的布埃纳文图拉品牌的挚爱（Buenaventura Favoritos）系列的三款新版本的价格就显得很亲民，每支雪茄的售价不到6美元，上周已经向零售商发货。

布埃纳文图拉挚爱系列有三个版本，这三个版本的茄衣不同，包装和烟标配色不同。

黄色包装的是康涅狄格版本，茄衣是厄瓜多尔种植的康涅狄格种子烟叶。红色包装的是自然色系列，茄衣是尼加拉瓜的哈瓦那罗萨多烟叶。蓝色包装的是马杜罗版本，茄衣是深色的墨西哥圣安德烈斯烟叶。每个版本的茄套、茄芯是一样的，都是尼加拉瓜烟叶。

每个版本都有两个尺寸，用环径来命名。康涅狄格版本的是50（50*5），售价是每支4.9美元，54（54*6），每支售价5.6美元。

自然色版本和马杜罗版本的尺寸、售价一致。分别是56（56*5），售价5.4美元。60（60*6），售价5.9美元。

雪茄是在尼加拉瓜的尼加拉瓜雪茄厂卷制的，每盒都是20支包装。

Cigar prices are increasingly on the rise with new releases sometimes selling for $100 or even hundreds of dollars apiece. On the opposite end of the spectrum, cigarmaker Curivari Cigars has added a trio of blends to its Buenaventura brand called Favoritos, all of which retail for less than $6 each. The cigars began shipping to retailers last week.

Buenaventura Favoritos comes in three different lines, which are distinguished by their wrappers, as well as the color of their packaging. The Connecticut line (yellow packaging), is clad in a light leaf of Ecuador Connecticut; Natural (red) is rolled with Nicaraguan Habano Rosado; and Maduro (blue) comes in a dark San Andrés wrapper from Mexico. Each cigar has the same blend beneath the wrapper—Nicaraguan binder and fillers.

All three lines come in two sizes named after their respective ring gauges. The Connecticut line comes in: 50, measuring 5 inches by 50 ring gauge ($4.90); and 54, 6 by 54 ($5.60). The Natural and Maduro lines both come in the same two vitolas: 56, 5 by 56 ($5.40); and 60, 6 by 60 ($5.90).

The cigars are made in Nicaragua at the company’s Tabacalera de Nicaragua S.A. factory, and all sizes ship in boxes of 20.
