The first Dominican brand from Warped Cigars is heading to retailers today. Called Chinchalle, which is Cuban slang for “little factory,” the new smokes are made at Tabacalera La Isla, the small, start-up cigar-rolling operation—or chinchalle—owned by Hostos Fernandez Quesada in the Dominican Republic.
翹曲雪茄的第一個多米尼加產品線9月13日正式向經銷商發貨。這款被稱為Chinchalle的雪茄,名字取自古巴俚語,意思是“小工廠”。這款雪茄是在多米尼加圣地亞哥的島嶼雪茄廠卷制,這是豪斯圖斯·費爾南德斯·奎薩達2020年底創業開板的一家小型雪茄生產廠。
The new Chinchalle comes in one size, a 5-inch-by-50-ring robusto, and is packaged in 25-count boxes. It consists of an Ecuador Havana 2000 wrapper, Dominican Havana Vuelta Arriba (HVA) binder and Dominican filler. They retail for $12.50 per cigar.?
這款新品只有一個尺寸,50環徑,5英寸,羅布圖型號,每盒25支包裝。茄衣采用的是厄瓜多爾種植的哈瓦那2000煙葉,茄套用的是多米尼加種植的HVA煙葉,茄芯是多米尼加煙葉。在美國地區的每支零售價是12.5美元。
Warped owner Kyle Gellis says that he plans on adding more sizes to his Chinchalle brand in the future.?
翹曲雪茄的老板凱爾·吉利斯表示,未來會考慮為這個產品線增加更多的尺寸。
“The Dominican Republic has so many what I would call micro climates and micro soil pockets spread throughout the country's tobacco regions,” Gellis tells Cigar Aficionado. “Incredible how varietal taste spectrum can vastly differ from two farms that are only a few miles apart. It opened up the ability to blend in certain directions.”?
吉利斯告訴雜志社編輯,多米尼加有很多我稱為“微氣候”和“微土壤”的地方,遍布全國的煙葉產區。有時候你很難相信,兩個距離僅有幾英里的煙葉農場培育出來的煙葉口味差異如此之大,這為我們做出多種煙葉混合開啟了方向。
This wouldn’t be the first time that Gellis has worked with a small operation. Although most of his cigars are produced at Aganorsa Leaf in Nicaragua, some limited-production brands, such as La Colmena, are made at El Titan de Bronze, a small factory located in Miami’s Little Havana section.?
這不是吉利斯第一次和島嶼雪茄廠合作,雖然翹曲雪茄的大部分產品線都是在尼加拉瓜的阿加諾薩煙葉公司生產,但也有一些小批量生產的品牌,比如蜂窩,是在美國邁阿密的小哈瓦那的青銅泰坦雪茄廠生產的。
