本周，J.C.纽曼公司自豪的宣布，他们的本垒打雪茄盒开始发货了。一个世纪以来，该公司一直有着庆祝和纪念棒球和雪茄的传统。新的本垒打雪茄盒延续了这个传统。

本垒打雪茄盒限量生产了50个，每一个雪茄盒都是比赛用的棒球棍的木材制成的。雪茄盒由密尔沃基雪茄盒公司生产，该公司老板是Jason LeGear，雪茄盒完全是手工制作。

纽曼公司的第四代老板德鲁·纽曼说，雪茄和棒球是相辅相成的，这些独特的雪茄盒外形像五面本垒打。有一支职业棒球队提供了他们用旧的棒球棍，我们用这些材料制作了这些雪茄盒。

因为每一支棒球棍用的木材不尽相同，所以50个雪茄盒的每一件都是一件独特的艺术品。每个雪茄盒可以容纳100支到125支雪茄。售价是每个2000美元。雪茄盒内配有纽曼公司的两款雪茄，25支坦帕抽茄者公牛，5支坦帕抽茄者棒球棍。

公牛型号是52环径，6英寸，中规中矩的圆柱形雪茄。棒球棍是一款外形像棒球棍的特殊雪茄，最粗的地方是52环径，7英寸。最细的部分减小到42环径，末端有一个球状的底部。这两款雪茄是纽曼公司今年四月份推出的限量版产品。

Jason LeGear说，我很高兴接受这样的挑战，将手工艺融入艺术。作为一名匠人，这款本垒打雪茄盒是功能性雪茄盒设计的巅峰之作，最大的挑战是将圆形的棒球棍变成扁平的贴面，将每一块木头缝合成有凝聚力的整体。每一个棒球和雪茄爱好者在打开这款雪茄盒享受雪茄时，都会成为美国国人独特消遣历史和庆祝活动的一部分。

This week, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is proud to announce that it is shipping the Home Run Humidors. For more than a century, J.C. Newman has celebrated the tradition of baseball and cigars. This legacy continues with the new Home Run Humidor. Handcrafted in America by Jason LeGear, owner and craftsman of Milwaukee Humidor Company, the Home Run Humidor is a series of 50 unique cigar humidors made from game-used professional baseball bats.  

“Baseball and cigars go hand-in-glove,” said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman.  “These unique humidors are shaped like home plate with five sides. They were handcrafted from broken bats provided by a professional baseball team. Due to league rules, I am not able to disclose the team.”

Because the wood used in the bats varies, each of the 50 humidors is a unique work of art. Each humidor has a capacity of 100 to 125 cigars and includes 25 Tampa Smokers Toros and 5 Tampa Smokers baseball bats. Each humidor has a suggested retail price of $2,000.

“Any opportunity to incorporate handcraft and engineering into art is a challenge I am excited to step up to the plate for,” said LeGear. “The Home Run Humidor is the pinnacle of functional humidor design for me as a craftsman. The biggest challenge has been rendering baseball bats, a notoriously round object, into flat veneer, and then meticulously hand-seaming each individual piece into a cohesive whole, as well as designing a functional humidor of a non-standard shape. Every baseball and cigar enthusiast will be thrilled to be a part of the unique history and celebration of America’s national pastime every time they open the Home Run Humidor to enjoy a cigar.”
