Beer and cigars can be a tricky combination as hops and tobacco don’t always play well together on the palate. But General Cigar Co. and Cigar City Brewing believe they’ve found the perfect pairing. The Tampa-based brewery has teamed up with General for a new, beer-friendly smoke called Cigar City Brewing Maduro by Punch.

用啤酒和雪茄搭配可能是一個(gè)棘手的組合，啤酒花和煙草在味覺上不能很好的呼應(yīng)。但是通用雪茄公司和雪茄城市釀造公司卻找到了完美的組合。這家總部位于坦帕的啤酒廠和通用雪茄合作開發(fā)了一款新的適合喝啤酒搭配的雪茄，取名為“潘趣雪茄城市釀造馬杜羅”。

Made in Honduras at the HATSA factory in Danlí, the new Punch is made entirely of Honduran tobacco and was blended especially for Cigar City’s brand of beers.

這款新品是再洪都拉斯的丹利的HATSA雪茄廠卷制，全部采用了洪都拉斯煙葉，為雪茄城市的品牌專門生產(chǎn)的。

Cigar City Brewing Maduro by Punch comes in two sizes, Magnum, at 5 1/4 inches by 54 ring gauge, and a 6-by-50 Toro. Packaged in 20-count boxes, they retail for $8.29 and $8.49, respectively. According to General, the new Punches are shipping now to select liquor chains across the U.S. with a larger launch coming early next year.

雪茄有兩個(gè)尺寸，一款是54環(huán)徑、5.25英寸的馬格納姆，一款是50環(huán)徑、6英寸的公牛。每款都是20支一盒的包裝，單支零售價(jià)分別是8.29美元和8.49美元。通用雪茄介紹，這款潘趣的新款目前正在發(fā)往美國各地的酒品連鎖店，明年初的供應(yīng)量會(huì)更大。

Punch senior brand manager Ed Lahmann said the new cigar “pairs beautifully with the Cigar City portfolio of beers, and also stands strong on its own.” He called out the Habano leaves from Honduras as an element that accentuates the beers of Cigar City.?

潘趣的高級(jí)品牌經(jīng)理埃德·拉曼表示，這款口味強(qiáng)勁的雪茄和啤酒城市的啤酒產(chǎn)品形成完美搭配，雪茄采用了洪都拉斯種植的古巴種子煙葉也突出了雪茄城啤酒的元素。

Maria Grieshaber, brand director for Cigar City Brewing, is also proud of the collaboration: “Given our hometown of Tampa which has deep roots in the handmade cigar category. We were delighted to partner with Punch to bring the enjoyment of pairing cigars and beer to life in a meaningful way.”

雪茄城釀造公司的品牌總監(jiān)瑪麗亞·格里沙伯為這次合作感到自豪，因?yàn)樘古猎谑止ぱ┣焉a(chǎn)領(lǐng)域有著深厚的淵源，很高興和潘趣品牌合作，用這樣有意義的方式將雪茄和啤酒的搭配樂趣帶入雪茄迷的生活。
