阿加诺萨烟草公司(以前是费尔南德斯之家Casa Fernandez)早在2005年就推出JFR雪茄品牌,起初是实体店的专卖产品,字母J、F、R分别代表Just For Retailers(仅供零售商)。2014年,这家尼加拉瓜雪茄制造商发布了一个新的系列,名为JFR Lunatic(疯子)的新系列,最粗的一款是80环径。
JFR Lunatic表现很好,其中 JFR Lunatic Habano Short Robusto (疯子系列哈瓦那短罗布图)在Cigar Aficionado杂志2018年的雪茄排行榜名列第7名。
为了延续这一成功,阿加诺萨烟草公司今年(指2019年)夏天准备推出一个名为JFR Lunatic Loco的新系列,这个系列完全使用尼加拉瓜烟叶卷制,并且全部是阿加诺萨烟草公司的农业部门种植的烟叶,这个系列的特点是茄衣烟叶使用了在贾拉帕地区采用阴植法种植的科罗霍烟叶,外表深色,油性十足。
新系列有三款,全部是完美造型。El Loquito,60环径,4.75英寸。El Loco,70环径,4.75英寸。El Gran Loco,80环径,5.5英寸。每盒都是10支装,在美国的售价从每支8.7美元到9.99美元不等。
这个系列和其他的阿加诺萨烟草旗下的品牌一样,都是在尼加拉瓜的阿加诺萨烟叶厂(Aganorsa Leaf factory )卷制的。
First came JFR, then JFR Lunatic, and now JFR Lunatic Loco, an extension of an extension, is set to debut this summer.
Aganorsa Leaf (then known as Casa Fernandez) launched the original JFR back in 2005 as a brick-and-mortar exclusive (the letters "J," "F," "R," stand for Just For Retailers). Five years ago, the Nicaraguan cigarmaker then released a line extension called JFR Lunatic that includes sizes as thick as 80 ring gauge.
JFR Lunatic has done well, with the JFR Lunatic Habano Short Robusto capturing the No. 7 spot in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 cigars of 2018 list.
To capitalize on this success, Aganorsa Leaf will debut a new line extension this summer called JFT Lunatic Loco. A Nicaraguan puro, Lunatic Loco only uses tobaccos grown by Aganorsa’s agricultural arm and features a dark, oily Corojo wrapper grown under shade in Jalapa.
The new line is made up entirely of perfectos and will come in three short, but extremely stout sizes: El Loquito, measuring 4 3/4 inches by 60 ring gauge; El Loco 4 3/4 by 70; and El Gran Loco, 5 1/2 by 80. Lunatic Loco will come packed in 10-count boxes, and ranges in price from $8.70 to $9.99.
Like all Aganorsa brands, Lunatic Loco is being rolled at the Aganorsa Leaf factory in Nicaragua.
