第4名，帕特加斯D系列4号（Partagás Serie D No. 4）

是什么让帕特加斯D4成为全世界最受欢迎的古巴雪茄？是抢眼的红色烟标吗？这款雪茄比其他的古巴雪茄更加浓郁吗？无论什么原因，这款常年吸引人群的雪茄今年保持了高品质，虽然产量很高，但是它可以始终如一的提供美味的吸烟体验，超越了其他古巴雪茄。

帕特加斯的字母系列（Alphabet Series）始于1930年代，有很多款。到了1970年代，帕特加斯D4成为该系列唯一存在的尺寸。2005年，古巴哈伯纳斯公司重新生产这个系列，最终增加到了四个尺寸。多年来，红色烟标没有太大变化。雪茄在简单、流线型的字体映衬下显得新鲜和现代。

这也可能与引入铝管装的包装有关。每一小包是三支铝管装。红底黑字的标签使得品牌具有时尚的外观，这归功于哈伯纳斯公司的明智营销决策。再明智的外包装也不过这样了。这款雪茄50环径粗，4.875英寸长，盲评得分93分。D4的表现没有辜负它的外观，从第一口就散发出浓郁的风味，呈现出皮革、矿物质和木头的味道，随手是橙子和香草味，以及尾段较为持久的榛子味。

What is it about the Partagás Serie D No. 4 that’s made it the most popular Cuban cigar in the world? Is it the eye-catching red band? Is it the cigar’s reputation for being more full bodied than most other Cubans? Whatever the reason, this perennial crowd pleaser maintained high quality this year, rising above other Cuban cigars for its ability to consistently deliver a flavorful smoking experience, despite its high production numbers.

The Partagás Alphabet Series started in the 1930s with many different sizes, but by the 1970s, the Serie D No. 4 was the only remaining remnant of the line. Then, in 2005, Habanos revisited the series, eventually adding four sizes. The red bands haven’t really changed much over the years, and yet the cigars, with their simple, streamlined lettering still seem fresh and modern. Part of that has to do with the introduction of the tubos, which are sold in handy three-packs. This red-on-black presentation gives the brand a sleek appearance and was a smart marketing decision by Habanos. Smart packaging only goes so far. The Serie D No. 4 lives up to appearances with its explosion of flavor from the first puff, showing a palate of leather, minerals and wood, sweeter notes of orange and vanilla, as well as a lasting hazelnut finish.

第5名，古巴之家双四（Casa Cuba Doble Cuatro）

这款古巴之家（Casa Cuba）唤起了对富恩特雪茄公司早期经营生涯的感伤回忆，当时这家人还在位于坦帕的家后门廊用古巴烟叶卷制雪茄。那是已故的富恩特家族第二代雪茄制造商卡洛斯·富恩特（ Carlos Fuente Sr.）的记忆。这是这个品牌背后的故事。这是老卡洛斯在2016年创造的一个产品线，也是他在世时创造的最后一款雪茄。

在坦帕度过那些卑微的日子以来，发生了一些事情。富恩特家族建立了一个庞大的手工雪茄帝国，目前在多米尼加共和国开展业务。富恩特烟草公司（Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. ）每年生产3000多万支雪茄。现在的族长是小卡洛斯（Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr.），他以极其旺盛的精力管理着公司。当小卡洛斯忙于发展公司的富恩特巨著X（Fuente OpusX）、粉色阳光生长马格姆R（Rosado Sungrown Magnum R）等产品线时，老卡洛斯反而想要一款可以体现简约优雅的雪茄。“传统”是可以用来形容古巴之家这个产品线的词，它强调的是平衡而不是强度。

这个产品线的名称参考了一款古巴的多米诺骨牌有戏。“Doble”在西班牙语里是“双”，“Cuatro”在西班牙语里是“四”。54环径粗，4.5英寸长。得分93分。茄衣是厄瓜多尔烟叶，茄套和茄芯是多米尼加烟叶。这款“双四”富含蜜糖和甘草的甜味，演奏出每一个微妙、辛辣的音符。正如老卡洛斯所见，这个产品是对过去那段历史的回忆，无论家族史如何，这款都是一支可爱的雪茄。

As a sentimental nod to the past, Casa Cuba evokes the early era in Arturo Fuente Cigar Co.’s timeline when the family was producing cigars with Cuban tobacco on the back porch of their home in Tampa. That’s the memory of the late Carlos Fuente Sr., the second-generation Fuente cigarmaker. And this was the idea behind Casa Cuba, which was the last blend he created before his death in 2016.

A few things have changed since those humble days in Tampa. Fuente has established a handmade cigar empire and now operates out of the Dominican Republic where Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. produces more than 30 million cigars a year. The patriarch is now Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr., who runs the company with limitless energy. But while Carlito was busy with brands like the Fuente Fuente OpusX and Rosado Sungrown Magnum R, his father wanted to return to a cigar that reflected the elegance of simplicity. “Traditional” is a word that’s often used to describe Casa Cuba, as it stresses balance over strength.

The names in the line are a reference to the Cuban game of dominoes, and the Doble Cuatro tempers each subtle, spicy note with sweet intonations of molasses and licorice. It’s a bow to the past as Carlos Fuente Sr. saw it, and a lovely cigar no matter your family history.
