第一批卷制好的老化室波西米亚（La Bohéme）雪茄即将离开阿塔迪斯烟草公司的佛罗里达工厂，运往全美各地的零售商。这款以歌剧为主题的雪茄品牌是该公司产品能力副总裁拉斐尔·诺达尔的。

拉斐尔·诺达尔2014年推出波西米亚品牌时，是为了纪念他的祖父，他祖父在古巴生活时常在家附近的小公园里抽茄。拉斐尔·诺达尔最初是委托多米尼加共和国的乔奇·布兰科（Jochy Blanco）的帕尔马雪茄厂生产这个品牌，使用的主要是多米尼加烟叶。后来，这个品牌没有继续生产。

如今，拉斐尔·诺达尔为阿塔迪斯烟草公司工作，研发烟叶混合，开发新的雪茄品牌，还担任雪茄代工厂与阿塔迪斯公司之间的联络人。他这次复活了波西米亚雪茄品牌。

这次他选择尼加拉瓜的A.J.费尔南德斯代工生产这个系列，A.J.费尔南德斯是他的长期合作伙伴。这次拉斐尔·诺达尔将波西米亚作为老化室品牌旗下的一个系列。这是一个全新的，口味更强劲的烟叶混合。茄衣使用的是美国康涅狄格种植的当地阔叶和哈瓦那种子杂交品种烟叶，这款品种的茄衣烟叶是首次用在阿塔迪斯烟草公司以及拉斐尔·诺达尔的产品里，茄套、茄芯都是尼加拉瓜烟叶。

波西米亚系列维持十年前的四个尺寸。可爱（Mimi），46环径，3.5英寸，每支售价17.9美元。画家（Pittore），52环径，5.125英寸，售价23.92美元。诗人（Poeta），54环径，5.75英寸，售价24.52美元。音乐家（Musico），60环径，6.25英寸，售价24.9美元。每款都是每盒20支的装盒，烟标设计的类似古巴革命前的复古风格。

拉斐尔·诺达尔介绍说，新的波西米亚系列代表我对未来的展望，口味大胆，采用独特的烟叶。这个系列代表了我的生平三大爱好：音乐、雪茄、古巴。

It’s an opening night of sorts for this opera-themed cigar and a busy day at the Altadis U.S.A. warehouse. First shipments of the new Aging Room La Bohéme are leaving the company’s Florida facility and heading to retailers across the country. The brand is owned by Rafael Nodal, vice president of product capability for Altadis, which distributes the brand. 

La Bohéme debuted in 2014 as a Dominican cigar made at Tabacalera Palma with a blend of mostly Dominican tobacco. Eventually, Nodal retired the line. More than a decade later, a few things have changed. Nodal now works for Altadis creating blends, developing cigar brands and acting as a liaison between cigar factories and Altadis’ corporate executives. Bringing back La Bohéme is his latest project. Conductors often re-arrange canonized musical compositions to suit modern audiences and that’s exactly what Nodal has done with La Bohéme.

The brand is currently made in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez—a longtime collaborator with Nodal—and is sold under Aging Room banner. And it’s an entirely new, stronger blend, all Nicaraguan save for the wrapper, which is a hybrid of broadleaf and Habano seed grown in Connecticut. This is the first time using this wrapper for both Altadis and Nodal.

The Aging Room La Bohéme comes in the same four sizes as the previous La Bohéme brand: Mimi, measuring 3 1/2 inches long by 46 ring gauge ($17.90); Pittore (5 1/8 by 52, $23.92); Poeta (5 3/4 by 54, $24.52) and Musico (6 1/4 by 60, $24.90). The cigars are packaged in 20-count boxes and adorned with vintage, pre-Revolution bands similar to the original release. 

“The original La Bohéme was introduced in 2014 as a tribute to the cigars my grandfather smoked in the small park near our home in Cuba,” Nodal said last year when news of this brand was first announced. “The new Aging Room La Bohéme is a look to the future, featuring bolder flavors and unique tobaccos. It represents three of my passions: music, cigars and Cuba.”
