近期,非古帕特加斯品牌历史上首次推出理发杆式(Barber-Pole-Style)茄衣的雪茄,外表采用两种颜色对比鲜明的茄衣烟叶。一种是深色的喀麦隆烟叶,一种是较浅的康涅狄格烟叶。两者交替餐绕在一起,营造出引人注目的理发杆效果。
根据通用雪茄公司的介绍,喀麦隆烟叶收割于1998年,康涅狄格烟叶是2013年种植的。这款雪茄名为Partagas Añejo, Añejo在西班牙语里是“年代久”的意思。在陈年茄衣烟叶之下,是多米尼加的茄套烟叶,和墨西哥、多米尼加混合的茄芯烟叶。
这款帕特加斯陈年将在3月1日发往零售商。有两个尺寸。小罗布图(Petit Robusto),49环径粗,4.5英寸长。导师(Esplendido),60环径粗,4.5英寸长。两款都是25支一盒的包装。建议零售价分别是每支6.99美元、7.99美元。都是在多米尼加生产。通用雪茄说,这两款雪茄的长度较短,只有4.5英寸长,主要是因为喀麦隆烟叶的大小限制。
该公司计划将这款帕特加斯陈年作为季节性产品发售。
通用雪茄公司(General Cigar)是总部位于丹麦的欧洲烟草巨头斯堪的纳维亚烟草集团( Scandinavian Tobacco Group)的子公司。

附参考原文:
For the first time in the brand’s long history, a non-Cuban Partagas will be available in a barber-pole format, rolled with two contrasting wrappers. Called Partagas Añejo, the cigars are made with a dark Cameroon wrapper and a lighter leaf of Connecticut shade to create the striking barber-pole effect.
According to General Cigar Co., the Cameroon tobacco is from a 1998 harvest while the Connecticut shade cover leaf was grown in 2013. The word añejo translates to “old” in Spanish. Under the vintage wrappers are a Dominican binder and filler from Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
Partagas Añejo heads to retailers on March 1 in two sizes: Petit Robusto, measuring 4 1/2 inches long by 49 ring gauge, and Esplendido, at 4 1/2 by 60. Packaged in 25-count boxes, both sizes are made in the Dominican Republic and will have suggested retail prices of $6.99 and $7.99, respectively. The relatively short sizes were dictated, General says, by the size of the Cameroon leaves.
The company intends Partagas Añejo to be a seasonal release.
General Cigar is a subsidiary of Scandinavian Tobacco Group, a corporate giant based in Denmark.
