精品雪茄制造商罗伯特考德威尔与烟草巨头斯堪的纳维亚烟草集团合作推出了一款限量版雪茄,2月3日开始向零售商发货。这款雪茄被命名为失物招领玻利瓦尔科弗拉迪亚。这个名字是考德威尔的失物招领(Lost & Found)和STG的玻利瓦尔科弗拉迪亚( Bolivar Cofradia)的结合,定位为网销为主的产品。
考德威尔在一家中美洲的雪茄厂找到了一种罕见的烟叶混合,以此为基础创立了“失物招领”,生产后在美国销售。随着推出玻利瓦尔科弗拉迪亚这个系列,他感觉失物招领产品线已经完成了一个完整的循环。
考德威尔和STG的新业务发展经理贾斯汀安德鲁斯合作创造了两个烟叶混合,一款是EMS,一款是奥斯库罗(Oscuro),EMS使用的茄衣是厄瓜多尔种植的苏门答腊种子盖叶,茄套是康涅狄格阔叶,茄芯是多米尼加、尼加拉瓜和洪都拉斯的混合烟叶。官方定义是温和到中等的强度。
奥斯库罗产品线口味重一些,茄衣是康涅狄格阔叶,茄套是厄瓜多尔苏门答腊烟叶,茄芯是多米尼加、尼加拉瓜、洪都拉斯的混合烟叶,散发出淡淡的泥土和胡椒味。
这两个产品线都各有两个尺寸,罗布图,54环径粗,5英寸长。公牛,54环径粗,6英寸长。建议零售价分别是6.99美元和7.99美元。以五支一包的便利包形式出售。外包装印有考德威尔品牌著名的异想天开的图案。
这些新品由STG在洪都拉斯的HATSA雪茄厂生产,并由STG的子公司复制者公司负责经销。

In an unlikely team-up, boutique brand owner Robert Caldwell has collaborated with tobacco giant Scandinavian Tobacco Group for a limited-edition cigar that started shipping to retailers yesterday. Called Bolivar Cofradia Lost & Found, the name is a fusion of Caldwell’s Lost & Found and STG’s Bolivar Cofradia brand, a line of cigars found mostly in catalogs and online.
“Lost & Found started when a Central American factory gave me a rare blend to sell in the U.S.” Caldwell says. “And today with the release of this capsule collection from Bolivar Cofradia, it feels like Lost & Found has come full circle.”
Caldwell and Justin Andrews, STG’s new business development manager, worked together and created two blends—EMS and an Oscuro. The EMS brand is wrapped in an Ecuadoran Sumatra-seed cover leaf. Underneath is a Connecticut broadleaf binder and Dominican, Nicaraguan and Honduran filler. It’s meant to be mild-to-medium bodied, while the stronger Oscuro line was blended to lean earthy and peppery with its Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, Ecuador Sumatra binder and filler of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Honduran tobacco.
Both brands come in a Robusto size, measuring 5 inches long by 54 ring gauge, and a 6-by-54 Toro. They have suggested retail prices of $6.99 and $7.99, respectively and are presented in handy five packs printed with the whimsical type of graphics Caldwell brands are known for.
