汽车爱好者向来以轰踩油门、夸耀马力著称，但也有部分人偏爱平稳驾驭的体验。通用雪茄公司近日深入拆解其以汽车文化为主题的CAO Flathead系列，打造出风味更细腻、力道更柔和的Flathead Speed Shop Habano雪茄，预计将于2月2日登陆零售市场。

"作为CAO旗下最畅销系列，Flathead凭借鲜明的个性与独特的风格赢得口碑。"CAO品牌经理科里·比尔兹利表示，"Speed Shop为我们开辟了新赛道，这款雪茄承袭系列内核却带来不同感受，专为那些注重雪茄实用表现、追求日常适配度的鉴赏者打造。"

这款新品在尼加拉瓜STG Estelí工厂卷制，采用厄瓜多尔哈瓦那茄衣、墨西哥圣安德烈斯茄套，以及尼加拉瓜与多米尼加共和国的混合茄芯。据厂商描述，这款雪茄属于中等浓郁度。

Speed Shop Habano推出三款盒压式型号：V660（6英寸长，环径60，售价9.99美元）、Big Block（7×70环径，10.99美元），以及Flathead系列全新规格Crankshaft（6×54环径，8.99美元）。所有型号均是24支装，装在引擎造型的礼盒里，延续该系列标志性设计元素。

Car enthusiasts are stereotypically known for revving their engines and bragging about horse power, but some prefer a smoother ride. General Cigar Co. has gone under the hood of its automotive-themed CAO Flathead brand and created Flathead Speed Shop Habano, a smoke intended to be more subtle and less powerful than the original. It’s expected to start cruising onto store shelves by February 2.

“As the No. 1-selling brand in CAO, Flathead has earned its reputation through bold character and unmistakable style,” says CAO brand manager Cory Beardsley. “Speed Shop gives us a new lane to explore, a cigar with the same spirit but a different feel. It’s crafted for smokers who appreciate performance with purpose and a profile you can drive every day.”

Made in Nicaragua at the STG Estelí factory, Speed Shop Habano consists of an Ecuador Habano wrapper, Mexican San Andrés binder and fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. According to the company, this is a medium-bodied blend.

Speed Shop Habano is available in three box-pressed sizes: V660 (6 inches by 60 ring gauge, $9.99) Big Block (7 by 70, $10.99), and Crankshaft, an entirely new vitola in the Flathead range (6 by 54, $8.99). All three come in 24-count boxes made with the brand’s signature engine-block design.
