這篇文章是2017年11月份刊登在《雪茄愛好者》雜志的一篇報道,介紹了古巴哈伯納斯公司2017年度發(fā)售的第一款限量版雪茄高希霸的護(hù)身符上市的情況。

古巴2017年發(fā)售的第一款年度限量版雪茄11月7日在英國倫敦首次亮相,這款體型粗大、茄衣深色的雪茄給人一點驚喜,帶著豬尾巴帽。
當(dāng)2017年2月份古巴雪茄節(jié)上宣布今年將發(fā)售護(hù)身符時,這款新的高希霸有一個完美的圓頂茄帽。但是你們要知道,從雪茄節(jié)預(yù)展到實際上市總是有很長時間的延誤,幾個月是正常的等待時間。這次當(dāng)成品的護(hù)身符抵達(dá)倫敦的時候,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)它們居然設(shè)計成豬尾巴帽的樣子。
古巴哈伯納斯公司官方并沒有回應(yīng)外界詢問為什么外觀設(shè)計做出改變。
在倫敦,剛上市的護(hù)身符單支售價是65英鎊,折合85美元。一盒是10支包裝,每盒是600英鎊,或者是784美元。古巴哈伯納斯公司介紹,護(hù)身符54環(huán)徑、6.125英寸長,公牛型號,是高希霸有史以來最粗的尺寸之一,是在古巴著名的拉吉托雪茄廠卷制。這次英國首發(fā)儀式后,即將在全球市場上架。
2017年古巴還將發(fā)售另外兩款年度限量版雪茄。一款是潘趣的領(lǐng)域,48環(huán)徑,4.75英寸。一款是帕特加斯的1號,52環(huán)徑,5.5英寸。

Cuba’s first Edición Limitada of 2017, the Cohiba Talismán, made its debut today in London. The big, dark cigars had a bit of a surprise—pigtail heads.
When Talismán was announced in February at the Habanos Festival, art for the new Cohiba showed a picture-perfect mounted head. But there’s always a long delay—typically several months—between the Cuba preview and marketplace appearance for new Cuban cigars, and this year when the finished cigars arrived in London they had pigtails.
Habanos had no comment when asked why the change had been made.
In London, a single Talismán retails for £65 ($85) and a box of 10 sells for £600 ($784). The cigars, which measure 6 1/8 inches long by 54 ring, were rolled at Cuba’s famed El Laguito Factory, according to Habanos S.A. They are slated to go on sale worldwide soon after this British debut.
The other two 2017 Limitadas—the Punch Regios de Punch (4 3/4 by 48) and the Partagás Serie No. 1 (5 1/2 by 52) are expected later.
