根据哈伯纳斯公司在英国的授权经销商亨特&弗兰克（Hunters & Frankau）公司介绍，英国地区刚刚收到古巴2018年度宣布发行的世界之王英国地区限量版。这款名为女王（La Reina）的世界之王雪茄是在古巴的拉吉托（El Laguito）雪茄厂生产的，这也是拉吉托雪茄厂第一次生产地区限量版雪茄。

这款雪茄38环径，7.5英寸，长矛品型，这个型号在古巴雪茄厂里被称为拉吉托一号，和高希霸标志性的长矛是一样的规格。

这款长矛茄帽也捏成了辫子装，每盒24支装，每支折合33.90英镑，约43.67美元。只生产了3500盒。

周一，经销商在伦敦丘吉尔酒吧举办了首发仪式，一群英国雪茄爱好者率先品尝到了这款“女王”。

亨特&弗兰克公司的董事总经理杰玛·弗里曼（Jemma Freeman）表示，这次之所以选择长矛型号，是因为英国的雪茄客对细长雪茄的兴趣有所回升。

这是世界之王第二次作为英国地区限量版，第一次是2009年，那一年发布的雪茄命名为“时代的选择”（Choix de L’Epoque）

British cigar shops have just received the 2018 Cuban Regional Edition El Rey del Mundo. According to distributor Hunters & Frankau, it’s made at the El Laguito Factory, the proverbial home of Cohiba cigars, and it’s believed to be the first Regional Edition made exclusively at El Laguito.

La Reina is a lancero measuring 7 1/2 inches long by 38 ring gauge. The shape is known as a Laguito No. 1 in Cuban factories, the same size as the iconic Cohiba Lancero.

A group of England’s cigar connoisseurs were some of the first to smoke the La Reina on Monday at the Churchill Bar & Terrace in London, where the cigar was unveiled for its official release party.

Jemma Freeman, managing director for Hunters & Frankau, said that she decided on the size because she was inspired by an upturn in interest for slender cigars among U.K. smokers.

Like the famed Cohiba Lancero, the El Rey del Mundo La Reina is made with a pigtail cap. It has a suggested retail price of £33.90 ($43.67) per cigar and comes packaged in 24-count boxes. Only 3,500 boxes will be produced.

This is the second time that El Rey del Mundo was chosen as the U.K.’s Regional Edition cigar. The first was in 2009 with the El Rey del Mundo Choix de L’Epoque.
