為了慶祝公司成立13周年，Room101的品牌所有者馬特·布斯 (Matt Booth)計劃今年7月份在PCA貿(mào)易展上發(fā)布一款限量版雪茄，此外他的常規(guī)產(chǎn)品線大回報系列也將增加一款尼加拉瓜版本的新品。

13周年限量版是公牛尺寸，52環(huán)徑，6英寸，20支每盒的包裝，雪茄包裝盒是粉紅色。雪茄使用了全尼加拉瓜煙葉，這些煙葉都是在A.J. 費爾南德斯的自家農(nóng)場種植的，雪茄也是在費爾南德斯雪茄廠卷制的。之前的10周年、12周年限量版都是費爾南德斯代工卷制的。11周年的限量版，不知道出自哪里，公司沒有透露。

13周年限量版雪茄將生產(chǎn)1500盒，雪茄盒打開后的內(nèi)蓋上的文字看起來是顛倒的，這不是印刷錯誤，是布斯故意而為之。

大回報尼加拉瓜也完全使用尼加拉瓜煙葉，是埃斯特利的喬亞雪茄公司代工生產(chǎn)的。Big Payback（這個詞用中文的“大酬賓”很般配）常規(guī)產(chǎn)品線里的康涅狄格版本也是在這里生產(chǎn)的，而馬杜羅版本是在洪都拉斯生產(chǎn)的。有兩個裝盒形式，40支一盒，或者20支一捆。一共三個尺寸，羅布圖，50環(huán)徑，5.25英寸。公牛，54環(huán)徑，6英寸。戈多，60環(huán)徑，6英寸。

這兩個版本的價格還沒有最后確定，但布斯表達定價將和現(xiàn)有產(chǎn)品線的價格標準保持一致。

Room101的13周年限量版預計今年夏季可以發(fā)貨給零售商，而大回報的尼加拉瓜版本預計今年秋季發(fā)貨。

附參考文章：

Room101 brand owner Matt Booth is celebrating 13 years in the cigar business with a limited-edition smoke that will debut at the PCA trade show this July, along with The Big Payback Nicaragua, a regular-production, Nicaraguan offshoot of his core brand The Big Payback.

The Room101 13th Anniversary is a 6-inch-by-52-ring-gauge toro that will come in pink boxes of 20 cigars. A Nicaraguan puro, all of the tobaccos were grown on farms owned by A.J. Fernandez, who also makes the cigars at his factory. Fernandez produced the 10th and 12th Anniversary releases for Booth as well (the factory for the 11th Anniversary was kept secret).

Booth told Cigar Aficionado that approximately 1,500 boxes of 13th Anniversary cigars will be produced. If the text on the box's inner lid looks upside down, it's not a mistake. Booth purposely inverted the letters for what he calls "lucky 13."

The Big Payback Nicaragua also consists entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos and is made by Joya de Nicaragua in Estelí, Nicaragua (where the Connecticut version of Big Payback is made, while the Maduro version is made in Honduras). It’s offered in either teal boxes of 40 or bundles of 20 and there are three sizes: Robusto, measuring 5 1/4 by 50; Toro, 6 by 54; and Gordo, 6 by 60.

Prices for both releases have yet to be finalized but Booth stated that pricing will be in line with comparable products in his portfolio.

Room101 13th Anniversary is expected to reach retailers by the end of the summer, while The Big Payback Nicaragua is expected to arrive this fall.
