老化室雪茄品牌的所有人拉斐爾·諾達(dá)爾（Rafael Nodal）在他的產(chǎn)品線(xiàn)里加入了新的樂(lè)章，計(jì)劃2月晚些時(shí)候在美國(guó)煙草+展覽會(huì)上亮相。這款雪茄采用全尼加拉瓜煙葉卷制，名為老化室夸特羅尼加拉瓜奏鳴曲（Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata），是夸特羅產(chǎn)品線(xiàn)的延伸。這個(gè)產(chǎn)品線(xiàn)的“大師”曾經(jīng)在《雪茄愛(ài)好者》雜志社的2019年度測(cè)評(píng)中獲得年度冠軍。

由于受到莫扎特、舒伯特和貝多芬等作曲家的奏鳴曲的影響，擅長(zhǎng)鋼琴和小提琴的諾達(dá)爾本人希望創(chuàng)作出他認(rèn)為相當(dāng)于雪茄奏鳴曲的款式。他再次求助于雪茄制造商A.J.費(fèi)爾南德斯，實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的愿景。這款Sonata的所有煙葉都是費(fèi)爾南德斯的農(nóng)場(chǎng)培育出來(lái)的，諾達(dá)爾表示這款Sonata的煙葉強(qiáng)度會(huì)相對(duì)輕一些。

雪茄在費(fèi)爾南德斯的雪茄廠生產(chǎn)，有六個(gè)尺寸。 Espressivo，50環(huán)徑，5英寸，零售價(jià)是每支13.02美元。 Maestro，52環(huán)徑，6英寸，魚(yú)雷造型，零售價(jià)13.13美元。Vibrato，54環(huán)徑，6英寸，零售價(jià)13.24美元。Concerto，50環(huán)徑，7英寸，零售價(jià)13.37美元。Grande，60環(huán)徑，6英寸，零售價(jià)13.55美元。Impromptu，52環(huán)徑，6.5英寸，零售價(jià)14.98美元，雙尖魚(yú)雷造型。除了Impromptu，每個(gè)尺寸都是每盒20支的包裝，Impromptu是每盒10支的包裝。

2月22日在拉斯維加斯舉辦的TPE貿(mào)易展上，這個(gè)系列產(chǎn)品將和觀眾見(jiàn)面，隨后在3月中旬向零售商發(fā)貨。雪茄是美國(guó)煙草公司旗下的阿塔迪斯公司負(fù)責(zé)經(jīng)銷(xiāo)。

Brand owner and musician Rafael Nodal has added another movement to his symphonic suite of Aging Room cigars, and it’s being introduced later this month at the Tobacco Plus Expo trade show. Called Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata, the all-Nicaraguan cigar is a line extension of the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua, a high-scoring brand that won Cigar of the Year in 2019 for its Maestro size.

Drawing influence from the sonatas of such composers as Mozart, Schubert and Beethoven, Nodal—a pianist and violinist himself—wanted to create what he believed would be the cigar equivalent of a sonata. He did this by once again turning to cigarmaker A.J. Fernandez to help realize his vision. As with the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua, all the tobacco in Sonata was grown on Fernandez’s farms, but Nodal says that Sonata is a bit lighter in body on account of the different seed varietals and longer fermentation process.?

Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata is made at Fernandez’s factory in Estelí and comes in six sizes: Espressivo, measuring 5 inches by 50 ring gauge ($13.02); a 6-by-52 torpedo called Maestro ($13.13); Vibrato at 6 by 54 ($13.24); Concerto, 7 by 50 ($13.37); a 6-by-60 Grande ($13.55) and a double-tapered figurado with a suggested retail price of $14.98 that measures 6 1/2 by 52 called Impromptu. All sizes come in 20-count boxes except for the Impromptu, which comes in boxes of 10.

After their preview to retailers at the TPE trade show, which starts on February 22 in Las Vegas, the cigars should ship to retailers around the middle of March. Aging Room cigars are distributed by Altadis U.S.A., a division of Tabacalera USA.
