和很多雪茄制造商一样，尼加拉瓜的雪茄制造商普拉森西亚公司正在为中国农历新年准备一款纪念版雪茄，2024年是中国农历龙年。眼下普拉森西亚公司的包装室里堆满了印有金龙图案的红色雪茄包装盒。普拉森西亚公司的工人们正夜以继日的小心翼翼的封装雪茄。
这是普拉森西亚公司历史上第四次发布生肖年份纪念版雪茄，从2021年的中国牛年一直到现在。
这款纪念版雪茄54环径，6.5英寸，鱼雷造型，使用的烟叶全部是普拉森西亚家族自己种植。同时雪茄也是普拉森西亚公司在埃斯特利的自己旗下的雪茄厂卷制的。
雪茄每盒10支装，建议零售价是每盒450美元，折合每支45美元。预计发售3000盒，其中1500盒供应美国市场，其余供应国际市场。
公司现任老板内斯特·安德雷斯·普拉森西亚（Nestor Andrés Plasencia）表示，龙的形象完美的代表了我们家族一直以来追求卓越的精神。我们期待通过这次特别发布活动和公众一起庆祝中国农历新年。
The packaging room at Plasencia Cigars in Nicaragua right now is brimming with stacks and stacks of decorative red boxes stamped with golden dragons. Like many in the cigar industry, Plasencia is producing a commemorative cigar for the Lunar New Year—feted in 2024 as the Year of the Dragon—and employees at Plasencia seem to be working around the clock filling these decorative boxes with cigars, shrink-wrapping each one with care.
Heading to retailers later this month, the Plasencia Year of the Dragon is the company’s fourth release that celebrates the Chinese New Year. Plasencia started with the Year of the Ox back in 2021 and has been onboard ever since.
The Year of the Dragon is a large torpedo measuring 6 1/2 inches by 54 ring gauge, and composed entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco grown by the Plasencia family throughout Nicaragua. It’s produced in Nicaragua as well, rolled at the Plasencia Cigars factory in Estelí.
The seasonal smokes come packaged 10 per box and have a suggested retail price of $45 per cigar. Only 3,000 boxes are being produced: half for the United States market and the other half for the rest of the world.
“The dragon is an animal that perfectly represents our family’s drive for excellence,” says Nestor Andrés Plasencia, chief executive officer of the family-owned company. “We look forward to celebrating the Chinese New Year with the public via this special offering.”
