下周，亚历克·布拉德利雪茄公司将推出黑市系列的臭流氓、三叶草两款雪茄，这两款雪茄是每年2月份发布，属于季节性的销售，为了庆祝圣帕特里克节（St. Patrick’s Day）。这两款雪茄的特色是茄衣卷制成一深一浅交替的颜色，其中一道是亮绿色的坎德拉烟叶，宛如覆盖着理发杆式的滚筒。

这两款限量版的尺寸一样，50环径，6英寸，公牛型号。茄套烟叶都是厄瓜多尔种植的苏门答腊种子烟叶，茄芯都是巴拿马、洪都拉斯烟叶。不同之处在于茄衣不一样。

臭流氓售价是每支11.5美元，茄衣使用了两种烟叶，一个是尼加拉瓜种植的哈瓦那种子烟叶，一款是洪都拉斯坎德拉烟叶，形成鲜明的色彩对比。三叶草售价每支13.65美元，茄衣使用了三种烟叶，棕色的尼加拉瓜种植的哈瓦那烟叶，绿色的坎德拉烟叶，深棕色的尼加拉瓜马杜罗烟叶。

布拉德利·鲁宾对记者说，这两款雪茄还是以限量版的形式生产，主要是绿色的坎德拉烟叶需要保持一致的鲜绿色。

臭流氓是每盒24支包装，限量生产2000盒。三叶草是每盒10支包装，限量生产1500盒。这两款雪茄都是委托普拉森西亚雪茄公司在洪都拉斯的丹利的东方雪茄厂（Tabacos de Oriente factory）卷制的。

这是臭流氓产品的第11次发行，也是第八次采用了理发杆滚筒似的茄衣设计风格。臭流氓发行的前三个年度的版本全部是坎德拉茄衣。对于三叶草来说，是第五次的年度发行。

Need a green cigar to pair with your green beer this St. Patrick’s Day? Alec Bradley Cigar Co. is starting the celebration a little early. Next week, the company will be releasing the Black Market Filthy Hooligan and Filthy Hooligan Shamrock, a pair of seasonal smokes covered in barber-pole-style wrappers, one of which is a leaf of bright-green candela.

Both limited-edition cigars come in the same 6-inch-by-50-ring-gauge Toro, and both are made with an Ecuador Sumatra binder. The fillers are from Panama and Honduras, but the difference is in the wrappers. The Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole Toro ($11.50) features two wrappers—one, a Nicaraguan Habano and the other, Honduran candela for a green contrast. The Filthy Hooligan Shamrock ($13.65) takes it a step further with three wrappers: a brown Nicaraguan Habano, a green Honduran candela and a very dark brown Nicaraguan Habano maduro.

“We only use choice candela,” second generation cigarmaker Bradley Rubin said to Cigar Aficionado. “Barber Pole and Shamrock remain limited editions because the bright green tobacco we use needs to be consistent every year……a little-known fact: Shamrock was actually my first project at Alec Bradley.”

Production is limited to 2,000 boxes of 24 cigars for the Barber Pole Toro, 1,500 boxes of 10 for the Shamrock.

This marks the 11th release of Filthy Hooligan, though the eighth release of the barber-pole versions (the first three years were all-candela), and the fifth release of the Shamrock. Both cigars are made by the Plasencias at the Tabacos de Oriente factory in Danlí, Honduras.
