这周费里奥·泰戈公司的大都会(Metropolitan)精选开始发货,这个产品线涉及三个国家的烟叶,好几种混合比例,以及24个尺寸。
大都会康涅狄格和马杜罗产品线是在多米尼加的奎萨达雪茄厂卷制。茄芯和茄套都是多米尼加烟叶,十分醇厚。康涅狄格版本用的是康涅狄格阴翳叶作为茄衣,马杜罗版本用的茄衣是康涅狄格阔叶。每个版本都有六个尺寸,长度从4.5英寸到7英寸不等。环径从50到66不等。每支零售价每7.25美元到10.75美元不等。每盒都是18支包装,除了66环径粗的Banker(银行家)是每盒10支包装。
大都会哈瓦那(Habano)版本是尼加拉瓜的普拉森西亚雪茄公司生产,使用的烟叶完全是尼加拉瓜烟叶,口味是中等强度。这个版本有四个尺寸,每一个环径都大于52。其中有一款是短粗的Gordito,4英寸长,60环径粗。这个系列的每支建议零售价从8.75美元到10美元不等,每盒18支包装。
大都会主持人(Host)和主持人马杜罗(Host Maduro)两个版本是在洪都拉斯的迪亚德玛农业(AgroIndustrias Diadema)公司卷制,两个版本的茄芯和茄套烟叶都是洪都拉斯烟叶。主持人版本的茄衣是康涅狄格阴翳叶,马杜罗版本是康涅狄格阔叶。

大都会品牌曾经是纳特·谢尔曼(Nat Sherman)公司所有,并打着纳特·谢尔曼大都会的牌子销售。该雪茄品牌连同纳特·谢尔曼雪茄的其他旗下品牌已经转卖给了费里奥·泰戈有限公司(Ferio Tego LLC),该公司成立的目的就是为了再次生产这些品牌,这些从纳特·谢尔曼时代就存在的品牌。
雪茄包装盒和烟标上都有大都会的字样,每支雪茄都有一个副标,上面写着“费里·奥泰戈专属”。这些雪茄由日内瓦大卫杜夫(Davidoff of Geneva)公司在美国负责经销。

Ferio Tego Metropolitan Selection is shipping this week. The collection spans three countries, several blends and two dozen sizes.
Metropolitan Connecticut and Maduro are rolled by Quesada Cigars in the Dominican Republic. The blend—described as mellow—has Dominican filler and binder tobaccos. The Connecticut version is wrapped in Connecticut shade, the Maduro in Connecticut broadleaf. Each blend comes in six sizes, ranging in length from 4 1/2 to 7 inches, and from 50 ring gauge all the way up to 66. Suggested retail prices range from $7.25 to $10.75 per cigar. All are packed in boxes of 18 cigars, save for the fattest size, Banker (5 by 66), which is packed 10 to the box.
Metropolitan Habano, made by Plasencia Cigars in Nicaragua, is entirely Nicaraguan and intended to be medium in body. It comes in four sizes, none of them slimmer than 52 ring gauge. (One size is the short and squat Gordito, which measures 4 by 60.) Suggested retail prices in this line range from $8.75 to $10, and each comes in a box of 18.
Metropolitan Host and Host Maduro are rolled in Honduras, by AgroIndustrias Diadema. The filler and binder on each are Honduran, with the Host rolled with a Connecticut shade wrapper, the maduro a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. There are five sizes of Host, from the 5 1/2 by 44 Hamilton to the 7 by 50 Hampton and the 6 by 60 Hyde, with suggested retail prices ranging from $6.80 to $10. Three of the sizes are available in the maduro version, ranging in price from $7.50 to $10, and they come in boxes of 18.
Metropolitan used to be part of Nat Sherman, and sold as Nat Sherman Metropolitan. The cigar brand (along with other former Nat Sherman cigar brands) are now owned by Ferio Tego LLC, which has worked to bring back these blends as consumers remember them from the Nat Sherman days.
The cigar boxes and bands say Metropolitan, and each cigar in the Metropolitan Selection lines wear secondary bands that read “Exclusive for Ferio Tego.” They are distributed in the United States by Davidoff of Geneva.
