煙草在線據《雪茄迷》報道編譯　　在7月9日版的《雪茄權威》上，由Drew Estate在尼加拉瓜制造的闊葉外包煙葉的深色濃香型雪茄Liga Privada被命名為“美國最熱門雪茄品牌”。

　　這個榮譽是自1996年出版的《雪茄迷》雜志的半月刊時事通訊——《雪茄權威》——的編輯們，在對美國全國的頂級實體雪茄店進行一年一度的調查后得出的結果。

　　這是《雪茄權威》開展這項調查的第十八年，也是Liga Privada第一次被命名為最熱門品牌——即在雪茄店里被消費者要求購買最多的品牌。

　　接受調查的零售商中，有29.9%將Liga Privada命名為最熱門品牌，險勝另一個雪茄品牌Tatuaje，將該雪茄命名為熱門品牌的零售商占28.6%。

　　參加這次調查的雪茄店超過了150家，該調查還提名了最暢銷的名優雪茄品牌、最暢銷的尺寸，并展現了美國全國的銷售結果和市場發展趨勢。

Cigar Insider Names Liga Privada Hottest Brand In America

　　Liga Privada, the broadleaf wrapped, dark and robust smoke made by Drew Estate in Nicaragua, was named Hottest Cigar Brand in the United States in yesterday's edition of Cigar Insider.

　　The accolade is the result of an annual survey of top brick-and-mortar cigar shops located around the United States polled by the editors of Cigar Insider, the semimonthly newsletter from Cigar Aficionado that has been published since 1996.

　　This is the 18th year Cigar Insider has conducted the survey, and the first time Liga Privada has been named the hottest brand—the one most requested by consumers in cigar shops.

　　Liga Privada was named as a hot brand by 29.9 percent of the retailers who answered the survey, narrowly edging out Tatuaje, which took 28.6 percent of the vote.

　　More than 150 fine cigar stores were represented in the survey, which also named best-selling premium cigar brands, top-selling sizes and showed sales results and market trends from around the U.S. Enditem
