五年前,阿塔迪斯美国公司委任雪茄制造商A.J.费尔南德斯,为其多米尼加产的罗密欧与朱丽叶珍藏皇家系列打造一款尼加拉瓜版本。他由此创作出了"皇家珍藏尼加拉瓜系列"。
如今,阿塔迪斯再次邀请他担纲设计,今年三月中旬,我们将看到全新的罗密欧与朱丽叶皇家珍藏尼加拉瓜深度雪茄。这款完全采用尼加拉瓜烟叶的雪茄,其深色茄衣所用的烟叶正产自费尔南德斯自家的农场。
与阿塔迪斯美国公司的许多尼加拉瓜品牌一样,"皇家珍藏尼加拉瓜深度"是费尔南德斯与阿塔迪斯母公司——美国烟草公司产品能力副总裁拉斐尔·诺达尔合作的结果。据诺达尔介绍,"深度"(Profundo)是一款中等至浓郁型的调配,其标志性特征在于采用了经过"深度发酵的深黑茄衣"。

新系列共推出四种尺寸:罗布图,长5英寸,环径50(售价11.25美元);罗布图特级,6x54(售价11.90美元);6x60的"巨炮"(Magnum)(售价12.95美元);以及长7英寸、环径50的丘吉尔(售价12.75美元)。除"巨炮"为每盒20支装外,其余尺寸均为每盒25支装。
茄标的紫色,意在融合原版"皇家珍藏"的红色茄标与"皇家珍藏·尼加拉瓜"的蓝色茄标。
Five years ago, cigarmaker A.J. Fernandez was tasked by Altadis U.S.A. to create a Nicaraguan version of its Dominican Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real line. He came up with the Reserva Real Nicaragua. Altadis has asked him to do it once again, and in mid-March we’ll be seeing the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua Profundo, an all-Nicaraguan cigar cloaked in a dark wrapper made with tobacco grown on Fernandez’s farms.
Like many Nicaraguan brands from Altadis U.S.A., the Reserva Real Nicaragua Profundo is a collaboration between Fernandez and Rafael Nodal, vice president of product capability for Tabacalera USA, Altadis U.S.A.’s parent company. According to Nodal, Profundo is a medium-to-full-bodied blend defined by its dark, “extra-fermented oscuro wrapper.”
The new line comes in four sizes: Robusto, measuring 5 inches by 50 ring gauge ($11.25); Toro, at 6 by 54 ($11.90); a 6-by-60 Magnum ($12.95) and a Churchill that measures 7 by 50 ($12.75). All come in 25-count boxes, save for the Magnum, which comes in boxes of 20.
The band’s purple hue is meant to be a merging of the original Reserva Real’s red band with the blue band found on the Reserva Real Nicaragua.
