除了古巴雪茄节上发布即将上市的主要品牌雪茄之外,还有一些古巴新款雪茄即将上市,这其中有限量版,也有一些是小雪茄品牌的延展产品。

今年,古巴发行的GR(Gran Reserva )系列采用了高希霸导师(Esplendidos)。RR和GR系列通常选择某个品牌中比较流行的尺寸,使用发酵时间更久的烟叶卷制。今年卷制这款高希霸导师GR的烟叶收获于2017年,已经发酵五年。雪茄47环径,7英寸,和常规生产的导师一样的尺寸。这款导师是每盒15支,外包装盒是黑色钢琴烤漆,限量生产5000盒。目前还不知道定价。

罗密欧与朱丽叶推出一款丘比特(Cupidos),这是古巴雪茄产品线里的一个新款。只在哈瓦那专家店、哈瓦那之家店销售。55环径,5.875英寸。这款丰满的鱼类造型在古巴雪茄厂被称为维罗纳(Verona)。丘比特是每盒20支包装,带一个副标。标注哈瓦那之家专卖。

而定位比较初阶的威古洛(Vegueros)四年来第一次推出新款。这款名为离心机(Centrogordos)的雪茄很短,54环径,4英寸。威古洛上一次发布新款还是2019年的时候。这款新品是每罐16支装。2013年,威古洛这个品牌进行了新的外包装设计,开始发布新尺寸。这个品牌的创建是对古巴烟农表达致敬。

所有新品里最令人意外的是古巴荣耀的土耳其( Turquinos),这是常规产品线。要知道,古巴荣耀已经几十年没有发布新款了。要么是哈瓦那之家专卖,要么就是地区限量版的形式。这款土耳其50环径、5.5英寸,和好友的逍遥特级(Epicure Especial)的尺寸一样。

目前还不知悉这些新品的具体上架日期。如果按照哈伯纳斯公司的惯例,这些新品将陆续错开时间发往世界各地,每个地区在新品上架前都会召开新品发布会。

In addition to the major releases announced by Cuba’s cigar industry during the Habanos festival, there are even more new cigars coming from Cuba. Some of them are limited editions while others are unexpected line extensions to Cuba’s smaller brands.

This year, Habanos chose the Cohiba Esplendidos as its Gran Reserva release. Reservas and Gran Reservas are typically popular or emblematic sizes within a brand, but made with older tobaccos than usual. In the case of the Cohiba Esplendidos Gran Reserva, Habanos says that all the tobacco used in the cigar has been aged for five years, and is from a 2017 crop. The Gran Reserva measures 7 inches long by 47 ring gauge, just like regular-production Esplendidos, but this special release comes in a 15-count case finished in a glossy black piano finish. Only 5,000 boxes are being produced. No word yet on pricing, but Gran Reservas are always considerably expensive.

The Romeo y Julieta Cupidos is a completely new size in the Cuban portfolio, and it’s a cigar that’s made exclusively for La Casa del Habano franchise shops and Habanos Specialist retailers. At 5 7/8 by 55, the plump torpedo is referred to as a Verona in Cuban cigar factories. Cupidos come in ornately enameled boxes of 20, with secondary bands denoting their exclusivity. 

The small, competitively-priced Vegueros line is getting its first new size in four years. The new Centrogordos, an extremely short cigar that measures 4 by 54, is the first addition since the Centrofinos was added in 2019. It will come in 16-count tins, consistent with the rest of the line. Vegueros was completely re-imagined and rebooted in 2013 with new sizes and new packaging. The brand is supposed to be a tribute to Cuba’s tobacco farmers. 

Perhaps the most unexpected of all the upcoming releases was the announcement of the La Gloria Cubana Turquinos. It’s slated to be a regular-production size in the very small La Gloria Cubana brand, which has not been expanded in decades. Any new La Glorias that have appeared throughout the years have either been La Casa del Habano exclusives or part of the Regional Edition program. At 5 1/2 by 50, the Turquinos are the same size as the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial. 

There’s no word on pricing or release dates. If Habanos stays on its current trend, the cigars will be staggered into the global markets whereby one country will launch the cigar via premier party before its released to the rest of the world.
