Family-owned cigar brand Southern Draw Cigars has created an offshoot to its Jacob’s Ladder line called The Ascension in honor of the 21st birthday of Ethan Jacob Holt, the son of brand owners Robert and Sharon, who recently joined the company with his parents full-time.

南抽雪茄公司是一家家族企業，創始人是羅伯特、莎倫夫婦。他們的兒子伊?！ぱ鸥鞑肌せ魻柼丶磳?1歲，最近全職加入公司和父母一起工作。為了慶祝孩子的生日，羅伯特夫婦在以往發行的雅各布梯子產品線的基礎上創建了一個分支產品線，名為“耶穌升天”。

For The Ascension, the Holts returned to a prototype blend of Jacob’s Ladder which uses a San Andrés wrapper and Nicaragua Habano 2000 binder instead of the Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper and the undisclosed binder tobacco of the regular release. The fillers for both are all-Nicaraguan. The Ascension comes in one size, a box-pressed Belicoso Fino that's 5 1/2 inches long by 52 ring gauge with a typical open foot. (The regular has an uncut foot and is not pressed.)

對于這個分支產品線，霍爾特一家對煙葉混合做了適當調整。雅各布的梯子系列用的茄衣是賓夕法尼亞州種植的闊葉煙葉，茄套煙葉沒有披露用的是什么品種。而這次“耶穌升天”系列用的茄衣是圣安德烈斯煙葉，茄套是尼加拉瓜種植的哈瓦那2000煙葉。兩個產品線的茄芯都是尼加拉瓜煙葉。“耶穌升天”系列目前只有一個尺寸，一款52環徑、5.5英寸的盒壓比力高，并且茄腳是典型的開放式茄腳，也就是說茄腳部分沒有經過刀片的裁剪和切割。

According to the company, The Ascension cigars were rolled in September of 2016 by A.J. Fernandez in Nicaragua, and have been aging ever since. Billed as being full bodied, they have a suggested retail price of $11.79 each and come in paper-wrapped 10-packs.

根據公司披露，這批雪茄是在2016年9月份由尼加拉瓜的 A.J. 費爾南德斯家族代工生產的，完工后就一直在發酵保存中。官方定義這款雪茄是濃郁口味，單支零售價是11.79美元，紙盒包裝，每盒10支。

While Ascension is a tribute to the owners’ son, Jacob’s Ladder is a biblical allusion to Jacob from the Book of Genesis, which is also reflected in the artwork for the new cigar.

雖然耶穌升天產品線是對伊?！ぱ鸥鞑肌せ魻柼厣盏馁R禮，但是基于雅各布的梯子表達的是《創世紀》中關于雅各布的圣經故事經典，這些也都表現在了新系列產品的包裝上。

The Ascension will first be released on a limited basis exclusively through Pennsylvania retailer Famous Smoke Shop on Thursday at only 10,000 cigars followed by a general release in January with a total of 100,000 cigars.

耶穌升天系列將在這周四通過賓夕法尼亞州零售商名煙商店限量發行，僅售1萬支。明年1月份將全面發售，預計銷售10萬支。
