1月底翘曲雪茄将推出一款新品，这款雪茄将只供应中国市场，不在美国销售。这款名为La Colmena ‘8’（蜂巢八号）是在美国迈阿密的青铜泰坦雪茄厂卷制的，和蜂巢系列的其他雪茄一样。

翘曲雪茄的老板凯尔·盖利斯说，近年来，中国对于我们整个品牌的产品线的需求都在急剧上升，我们希望通过发布这款蜂巢八号来表达我们对这个市场的感激和尊重。

在中国文化里，数字8代表着好运，所以雪茄的名字和外包装上都非常突出数字8。雪茄是每盒八支装，雪茄的副标上印着中国汉字“八”。

这款蜂巢八号的烟叶混合配方和蜂巢系列的其他产品一样，茄衣是厄瓜多尔康涅狄格烟叶，茄套是厄瓜多尔烟叶，茄芯是尼加拉瓜、多米尼加的混合烟叶。雪茄是52环径，5.5英寸，茄帽捏成猪尾巴状，茄脚未经切割，在中国的售价是每支折合30美元，大概是蜂巢系列其他产品定价的两倍。

There’s a new Warped cigar coming out later this month, but you won’t find it in the United States: it’s intended to be sold only in China. The new smoke—called La Colmena ‘8’—is made in Miami at the El Titan de Bronze factory, like the rest of Warped’s La Colmena line.

“The demand in China for not only La Colmena, but the entirety of our portfolio has sky rocketed in recent years,” says Warped brand owner Kyle Gellis. “We wanted to show our appreciation and respect by crafting them the exclusive La Colmena ‘8’.”

The number eight is good luck in Chinese culture, so that number is prominent on this cigar, both in the name and in its packaging. The cigars come in eight-count boxes, and the symbol on the second band is the Chinese character for the numeral eight. 

The ‘8’ is made from the same blend as the rest of the La Colmena line: Connecticut-seed Ecuadoran wrapper, Ecuadoran binder and filler from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The Chinese exclusive measures 5 1/2 inches long by 52 ring gauge is and is finished with a pigtail cap and closed foot. It will have a suggested retail price of $30 each (close to double the price of other La Colmena cigars) and is expected to ship in the late part of this month. 

The cigar is imported by International Marketing Exchange LTD based in Hong Kong.
