蒙特雪茄品牌创建已经90周年了,非古品牌的持有人美国阿塔迪斯烟草公司为纪念这个时刻,计划推出蒙特90周年纪念版产品,预计9月15日开始上架销售。如果你碰巧住在蒙特之家门店附近,可能已经提前看见这款产品。
这款纪念版雪茄是委托尼加拉瓜的普拉森西亚雪茄代工卷制,雪茄放在一款定制的蒙特雪茄盒里,还包括一个BRM手表,一个手表上链器,一副扑克牌、扑克筹码和骰子。
蒙特90周年纪念版产品有两个尺寸,一款是2号,鱼雷型号,52环径,6.125英寸,每支售价40美元。还有一款是国民(Nacional),56环径,5.5英寸,每支售价38.75美元。两个尺寸都是每盒12支装。
阿塔迪斯烟草公司的母公司美国烟草集团的拉斐尔·诺达尔表示,这两款雪茄是委托尼加拉瓜的普拉森西亚家族代工生产的,烟叶全部是普拉森西亚家族自己种植的尼加拉瓜烟叶,来自四个产区:埃斯特利、孔德加、奥梅特佩、贾拉帕。茄衣烟叶就是在贾拉帕产区种植的。
纪念雪茄盒里放了一块青铜表壳和骨架表盘的限量版手表,是巴黎的独立钟表制造商BRM Chronographes手工生产的,一共生产35块手表。雪茄盒可以放18支雪茄,配有手表上链器、扑克牌、筹码、骰子。雪茄盒的售价是1.5万美元,下周将在全美范围内发货。
If you’re fortunate enough to live near a Casa de Montecristo, you may have already tried the new Montecristo 90th, as the anniversary cigar had a limited launch at some Casa de Montecristo retail stores. The rest of the country will be getting them next week, on September 15.
The Montecristo brand has been on the market for nine decades, and Altadis U.S.A. is celebrating with the Montecristo 90th Anniversary—a small-production smoke made by Plasencia Cigars in Nicaragua. In addition to the cigars, Altadis is also releasing a Montecristo humidor that includes a BRM timepiece and a watch winder, as well as a deck of cards, poker chips, and dice.
The Montecristo 90th Anniversary comes in two sizes: the No. 2, a torpedo measuring 6 1/8 inches by 52 ring gauge, and the thicker Nacional, at 5 1/2 by 56. Each No. 2 has a suggested retail price of $40, while the Nacional retails for $38.75 apiece. Both come in decorative, 12-count boxes.
According to Rafael Nodal, vice president of product capability for Tabacalera USA (Altadis U.S.A.’s parent company), the tobaccos are from the Plasencia family’s especially aged reserves. This all-Nicaraguan blend includes leaf from four of Nicaragua’s major tobacco regions: Estelí, Condega, Ometepe and Jalapa, where the wrapper was grown.
Altadis is also offering a commemorative humidor that includes a limited-edition watch with a bronze case and a skeletal dial. It’s handmade in Paris by BRM Chronographes, and only 35 pieces have been produced. The humidor, which can hold 18 cigars, comes with a watch winder, playing cards, poker chips, dice and “The Last Chip” game card, created for this anniversary set. It has a retail price of $15,000 and is shipping nationally next week as well.
