姆·奥兹格纳眼下正忙着他的新事业，在沉寂多年之后，他回到雪茄行业重操旧业，成立了奥兹格纳家族雪茄公司，即将推出一个新的雪茄系列，名为Aramas。这个名字结合了土耳其和亚美尼亚的名字，反映了奥兹格纳的血统，他父亲是亚美尼亚人，他母亲是土耳其人。

奥兹格纳原本计划将这款新产品命名为“亚拉拉特山”（Mount Ararat），这座如今位于土耳其境内的山对土耳其人和亚美尼亚人都有着重要意义，传说中诺亚方舟最后的停泊地就是亚拉拉特山。由于商标注册的问题，奥兹格纳无法使用 Ararat作为商标，他决定创造了一个词Aramas。在亚美尼亚语里，亚拉拉特山被称为Masis。他将两个单词融合在一起，使用Aramas作为商标。

这个新品是委托埃内斯托·佩雷斯·卡里略在多米尼加共和国生产，茄衣使用的是墨西哥圣安德烈斯烟叶，茄套是厄瓜多尔种植的苏门答腊种子烟叶，茄芯有一部分是多米尼加和尼加拉瓜烟叶，还有一些康涅狄格的阔叶烟叶，这样的组合让这款雪茄有点与众不同。

蒂姆·奥兹格纳说雪茄早已经卷制好，也发酵了一段时间。因为外包装准备不足的原因，推迟了上市。预计下周在多米尼加共和国举办的TAA展览会上向零售商展示这款新品。虽然这个产品线不是TAA专供。

预计4月份会向美国市场发货，蒂姆·奥兹格纳说这款雪茄的口味强度是中等到浓郁。

这个系列目前有四个尺寸。A52，52环径，5英寸，零售价是每支12.75美元。A55，55环径，5.5英寸，零售价是15美元。A54，54环径，6.25英寸，零售价是13.75美元，也是这个产品线里唯一一款鱼类造型。A60，60环径，6英寸，零售价是15.75美元。雪茄不是盒压造型，圆柱形，每盒都是20支包装。

Tim Ozgener is keeping busy in his new venture. Not long after debuting his first brand in years, he is now coming out with Ozgener Family Cigars Aramas. The name combines the Turkish and Armenian names for a mountain that’s important to both cultures, reflecting Ozgener’s Armenian and Turkish heritage. 

Ozgener intended to name the cigar for Mount Ararat, a mountain in Turkey that’s meaningful to Turks and Armenians alike. Ozgener’s father was Armenian, his mother is Turkish, and the mountain is pictured on the artwork for the cigar. In Armenian, the mountain is called Masis. Trademark issues kept him from using those names, so he combined the two to create his own name, Aramas. 

The cigars are rolled in the Dominican Republic, by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, and the filler blend contains some Connecticut broadleaf, a somewhat unusual touch. The rest of the filler is Dominican and Nicaraguan. The binder is Ecuador Sumatra and the wrapper is dark, Mexican San Andrés.

“The cigars have been ready and aging,” says Ozgener, but packaging has delayed the launch. He intends to show them off to retailers at the TAA show next week in La Romana, Dominican Republic, although the cigar will not be a TAA exclusive. Aramas should ship by late April. 

Like his first line, Bosphorus, the sizes begin with the first letter of the brand, followed by a number referring to ring gauge: A52 measures 5 inches long by 52 ring gauge and has a suggested retail price of $12.75; A55 is 5 1/2 by 55 and will retail for $15; A 54 (a torpedo, the lone figurado in the brand) is 6 1/4 by 54 and will sell for $13.75; and the A60 is 6 by 60 with a $15.75 price tag. They come in boxes of 20, and are round.

Ozgener describes the cigars as medium to full bodied.
