第一次世界大战后，美国出现了咆哮的20年代，这段时期充满活力和乐观主义。美国经济的繁荣之下，人们开始跳舞、抽雪茄和各种庆祝。当时美国推行禁酒令没有成功。大概一个世纪后的今天，奥利瓦雪茄公司推出了一款名为V系列“咆哮的二十世纪”（Roaring Twenties ）的雪茄，来纪念20世纪20年代那个自由消费的时代。
这款完美型号的雪茄是限量版，最粗处60环径，6英寸长。茄衣是厄瓜多尔烟叶，其他部分是尼加拉瓜烟叶。雪茄在尼加拉瓜卷制。每盒10支包装，生产300盒，其中200盒分配到美国市场。雪茄定价昂贵，每支售价300美元，这也是奥利奥雪茄公司迄今为止最贵的一款雪茄。
这款昂贵的雪茄的特色是包裹雪茄下半部分的金箔。这个金箔不仅仅是包装，还可以和雪茄一起点燃抽食。这款金箔雪茄是奥利瓦公司与著名的雪茄保湿盒制造商丹尼尔·马歇尔合作生产的，马歇尔公司前几年也推出过自己的金色雪茄。雪茄盒内侧印有马歇尔的名字。
奥利瓦雪茄的老板弗雷德里克·范德马利尔（Frederik Vandermarliere）介绍说，这款雪茄的设计创意是新冠疫情发生之前产生的，这是对自由、活力、拥抱生活的歌颂。
这款雪茄将在7月份美国PCA贸易展上展览，部分销售额将捐赠给奥利瓦援助之手基金会（Oliva Helping Hands Foundation）。这个基金会旨在帮助在雪茄行业工作的女性照顾他们的孩子。
The Roaring ’20s were the exuberant, energetic and optimistic years that followed World War I. People danced, smoked and celebrated as economies boomed, particularly in the United States, although it also coincided with America’s failed experiment of alcohol Prohibition. A century (or so) later and Oliva Cigar Co. is releasing a cigar named for those heady times, and the smokes are adorned with gold. In a nod to the free-spending days of the 1920s, the cigar will have a suggested retail price of $300 each, making it one of the more expensive smokes on the market and the priciest Oliva cigar to date.
The Oliva Serie V Roaring Twenties Super Limited Edition is a portly perfecto measuring 6 inches long by 60 ring gauge. Produced in Nicaragua, the cigars are made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco save for the wrapper, which is from Ecuador. They come in striking boxes of 10, and production will be limited to 300 boxes, 200 allocated for the United States.
The calling card of these extra-expensive cigars is the bottom half of the perfecto, which looks as if it’s wrapped in a sheet of gold foil paper. But the golden half of the cigar is not merely a paper wrap—it’s real gold, meant to be smoked with the cigar itself. The gilded shroud, as Oliva calls it, was made in partnership with humidor maker Daniel Marshall, who created his own golden cigar years ago. The bottom half of the Oliva perfecto is coated with Florentine gold foil. (The top photo shows Marshall’s signature on the inside of the box.)
“We’re so excited to present this cigar to the world. The idea was born before a worldwide pandemic took people’s freedoms away,” says Frederik Vandermarliere, owner of Oliva. “The freedom to enjoy, share special moments and express oneself. All the more reason, seen in hindsight, why this cigar is an ode to liberty, to the power of vitality and of embracing life, especially in pivotal times.” The cigars will on display at next month's PCA trade show in Las Vegas. A portion of the sales will be donated to the Oliva Helping Hands Foundation, which helps Nicaraguan women working in the cigar industry with childcare.
