当你想到鞭炮时，你的脑海里可能会七月四日独立日的庆祝活动，或者邻居家的小孩在楼下玩耍的时间太久。但对于联合雪茄的爱好者来说，鞭炮让他们联想到胖乎乎的雪茄，茄帽上捏着长鞭子帽，做成鞭炮捻子的样子。

联合雪茄公司总部位于美国新罕不什尔州，爆竹品牌目前有两个常规产品线，一个是太阳生长（阳植系列），一个是马杜罗系列。这次将要亮相的是康涅狄格系列，添加了康涅狄格烟叶，这条产品线将在下周举办的TPE贸易展上亮相。

爆竹雪茄品牌是联合雪茄公司的核心产品，该公司经常和其他雪茄制造商合作发行这个品牌的限量版。

联合雪茄公司的运营总监奥利弗·尼沃（Oliver Nivaud）说，这款康涅狄格系列在烟叶调配过程中让我大吃一惊，最终确定的烟叶混合配方完美的阐释了这个系列。

这个系列的茄衣是康涅狄格烟叶，茄套、茄芯都是多米尼加烟叶，雪茄是50环径，3.5英寸，短而粗，口味强度是中等。

和其他两个系列一样，这款康涅狄格系列是在多米尼加共和国卷制的，座落于圣地亚哥的古巴魔术雪茄厂（Magia Cubana factory ），每盒25支装，价格很亲民，在美国的售价是每盒150美元。

When you think of firecrackers, your mind likely wanders to Fourth of July celebrations or vexing neighborhood kids with perhaps too much downtime. But for fans of United Cigars, the name brings up visions of plump cigars topped with long pigtail caps, made to resemble a fuse. The New Hampshire-based company currently has two existing lines in its core Firecracker series, Sun Grown and Maduro. But now, a lighter leaf is being added to the fold with the introduction of Firecracker Connecticut, a new, regular-production line set to debut at the TPE trade show next week in Las Vegas. 

Aside from being a core brand of United’s, the staple firecracker cigar shape is also known for its frequent limited release collaborations with other cigarmakers. 

“This Connecticut Firecracker surprised me during the blending process,” says Oliver Nivaud, director of operations for United Cigars. “The final blend represents the line perfectly.”

Firecracker Connecticut is wrapped in a Connecticut-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador, complemented by binder and filler from the Dominican Republic. The short, fat smokes measure 3 1/2 inches long by 50 ring gauge, and are intended to be medium-bodied.

Like the Sun Grown and Maduro lines, Firecracker Connecticut is made at the Magia Cubana factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The cigars will be available in 25-count boxes and have a suggested retail price of $6 each, or $150 per box.
