帕德龙雪茄PB系列最新的一款已经发货，这款名为PB99的雪茄是为了纪念公司已故创始人何塞·奥兰多·帕德龙的99岁寿辰。何塞·奥兰多·帕德龙出生于1926年6月10日，2017年去世。

PB99有两个版本，自然色版本、马杜罗版本，60环径，6.75英寸，每支售价44美元。这款产品和大多数帕德龙雪茄不一样，这款雪茄是圆柱形，不是盒压造型。

雪茄是每盒10支，在尼加拉瓜卷制。今年春季，它们在新奥尔良举办的PCA贸易展与观众见面，当时预计9月份发货。

豪尔赫·帕德龙说，因为烟草库存比较充分，所以发货时间比原计划早了点。

PB系列是帕德龙公司产品里非常小产量的一个系列，口味比绝大多数帕德龙产品都要浓郁。这款雪茄在《雪茄爱好者》杂志的盲评里拿到了93分的高分。

Padrón Cigars has just started shipping its newest size, the Padrón PB-99, a line extension to the sub-brand that is colloquially known as Padrón Black. The PB-99, available in maduro and natural versions, measures 6 3/4 inches long with a 60 ring gauge. It retails for $44 apiece. While Padrón cigars are known for their box-pressed shape, these are round.

The cigars are rolled by hand in Nicaragua using Nicaraguan tobaccos, and they come in boxes of 10. The 99 in the name honors what would have been the 99th birthday of company founder José Orlando Padrón, who was born on June 10, 1926. He died in 2017. 

The cigars are coming a little early. They were previewed to American retailers at the Premium Cigar Association trade show in New Orleans this spring, and at the time they were expected to ship in September. 

“We did it earlier because we had the inventory, a little earlier than we anticipated,” Jorge Padrón told Cigar Aficionado. 

Padrón Black is a smaller line, and it’s stronger than most Padróns. The cigars have scored well (93 points) in blind tastings for Cigar Aficionado magazine and Cigar Insider newsletter.
