几周后，拉斯维加斯的美国PCA贸易展上，阿塔迪斯烟草公司即将展出他们公司旗下的蒙特1935系列的双钻石限量版雪茄（Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante），令人瞩目的是，这款限量版雪茄的定价高达每支150美元。这是迄今为止，阿塔迪斯烟草公司旗下蒙特品牌里最顶级的一款产品。
之前阿塔迪斯公司推出的蒙特1935尼加拉瓜系列，零售价仅为每支十几美元。随后推出的蒙特1935钻石系列，零售价是每支20多美元。
当一支雪茄定价如此之高时，大家难免要问“为什么”？美国烟草（阿塔迪斯公司的母公司）负责产品能力的副总裁拉斐尔·诺达尔表示，这款双钻石限量版雪茄的烟叶全部是发酵10年以上的老烟叶。
和前几代版本一样，这款蒙特1935双钻石是委托尼加拉瓜的A.J.费尔南德斯代工生产的，所用的烟叶也是费尔南德斯自家烟叶田种植的，主要是莉莉安农场和圣洛塔诺农场。
这款限量版雪茄54环径，6.5英寸，每盒20支装，限量生产250盒。每一个雪茄包装盒都采用光滑的钢琴烤漆饰面，有唯一编号，雪茄抽完完全可以作为一个雪茄保湿盒来使用。
据悉，零售商每订购一盒双钻石限量版还可以获得一套菱形的醒酒器。计划4月底向零售商发货。
Altadis U.S.A. calls its pricey Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante the most super-premium Montecristo to date
First, Altadis released the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua, with retail prices in the teens. Then came the Montecristo 1935 Edición Diamante priced in the twenties. But in a few weeks at the PCA trade show in Las Vegas, Altadis will debut its Montecristo 1935 Edición Doble Diamante—and it’s going to retail for $150 per cigar.
When a cigar has such a hefty price tag, the first question is, naturally, “Why?” In this example, the answer is very old tobacco. According to Rafael Nodal, vice president of product capability for Tabacalera USA (Altadis U.S.A.’s parent company), all the tobacco inside the new Doble Diamante has been aged a minimum of 10 years before it was rolled.
Like its predecessors, the upcoming Montecristo Edicíon Doble Diamante is made in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez. And all the tobacco was grown on Fernandez’s farms in Nicaragua: La Lilia and San Lotano. Unlike its predecessors, which are regular-production cigars, this is a limited edition offered in one size, a Toro measuring 6 1/2 inches by 54 ring gauge. It comes packaged in 20-count boxes, and only 250 of them are being produced, for a total run of 5,000 cigars. Each box doubles as a humidor and is finished with a glossy piano finish.
As an added bonus, a diamond-shaped decanter set is being offered to retailers who purchase a box.
The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante is slated to ship the last week of April.
