今年2月份，斯堪的纳维亚烟草集团收购了亚历克·布拉德利（Alec Bradley）雪茄公司，STG决定对该公司旗下一个品牌进行全新改造，这款名为亚历克·布拉德利禁运后混合代码B15的产品线，将完全取代已经停产的原产品线。这款产品线外表看起来就是那种口味比较重的，和最初版本完全不一样。

新的产品线对比老版本，没有什么联系，可以看成是全新的版本。代码B15的茄衣烟叶选用了洪都拉斯的特罗赫斯（ Trojes）地区种植的烟叶，茄套烟叶有两片，一片选用了贾马斯兰特山谷（Jamastran）的科罗霍烟叶，一片选用了特罗赫斯地区的克里奥罗烟叶，茄芯里也有这两个地区的烟叶，还添加了尼加拉瓜烟叶。

唯一没有变的是，这个产品线和最初版本都还是在古巴之根雪茄厂（ Raices Cubanas factory）卷制的，口味强度是中等。对比原先的版本，新版本的雪茄的顶部捏成辫子状。

布拉德利兄弟俩的鲁宾目前担任品牌大使，他也认为现在是从全新角度来阐述这个品牌的正确时机。

雪茄有三个尺寸，每盒24支包装，包装盒外表做成类似液体飞溅上去的效果。三个尺寸分别是：罗布图，52环径，5英寸。公牛，52环径，6英寸。戈多，60环径，6英寸。这些雪茄预计9月中旬发货，在美国的售价从8.99美元到10.99美元不等。

There’s a new Alec Bradley Post Embargo brand in the works, and it completely replaces the original line, which has been discontinued. Called Alec Bradley Post Embargo Blend Code B15, the new cigar has a bolder look and different blend than the first. 

The classic, old-world motifs of the Alec Bradley Post Embargo brand are gone. So is the original blend. This year, Scandinavian Tobacco Group, which purchased Alec Bradley in February, decided to give Post Embargo what it calls “an entirely new, full-time expression.” The company says this is not a brand makeover or reblending, but a new release altogether. 

The new Blend Code B15 consists of a Honduran wrapper from the Trojes region; two Honduran binders (one a Corojo leaf from Jamastran and the other Criollo from Trojes) and filler from the Jalapa region of Nicaragua and the Jamastran and Trojes regions of Honduras. Like the original, the cigars are made in Honduras at the Raices Cubanas factory and are medium-bodied.

“We instinctively felt it was the right time to revisit the post-embargo concept from a fresh, new perspective because the brand resonates so well in the category,” says brand ambassador Bradley Rubin. “New world cigars are where it’s at, and this brand celebrates how we and other new world brands have taken our rightful place on the global stage.”

The cigars come in three sizes and are packaged in 24-count boxes made to resemble paint-spattered milk crates: Robusto, measuring 5 inches by 52 ring gauge; Toro at 6 by 52 and a 6-by-60 Gordo. They will have suggested retail prices of $8.99 to $10.99 when the smokes ship around mid-September. Unlike the original line, the new Post Embargo cigars are topped with pigtail caps.

The Alec Bradley Post Embargo Blend Code B15 is distributed by Forged Cigar Co., a subsidiary of STG.
