當托尼·巴里奧斯2014年創建史泰龍雪茄公司時,他決定將和他自己有關的兩個激情元素結合起來,就是雪茄和牛仔。于是牛仔系列產品就這樣誕生了。不熟悉這個品牌的朋友可能不知道,在意大利語里,“史泰龍”是指“種馬”。牛仔系列中的每一個產品線都是以特定品種的馬來命名。每個產品線的雪茄茄衣的顏色都努力和產品名字代表的馬的天然皮毛顏色相匹配。如今,史泰龍公司推出了一款名為克萊茲代爾的新款限量版雪茄,為這個產品線增加了一個新的尺寸,預計11月1日開始向零售商發貨。
克萊茲代爾是一種體型龐大、肌肉發達的馬,特點是小腿上有蓬松的長毛。這款同名雪茄也是一個巨大的家伙,60環徑,6.5英寸,茄腳部分裸露。單支零售價是11.95美元。
這款雪茄是在尼加拉瓜的拉斯貝拉斯雪茄廠卷制的,是全尼加拉瓜煙葉的產品。茄衣使用的是種植在尼加拉瓜的康涅狄格闊葉煙葉,巴里奧斯告訴記者,這些煙葉在卷制前已經發酵了五年,雪茄卷制好后,又繼續陳化了一年。這款雪茄官方定義是濃郁口味。
克萊茲代爾雪茄每盒20支包裝,限量生產1000盒,如果消費者反映良好,未來也可能重新卷制,再次提供。

When Tony Barrios founded Stallone Cigars in 2014, he decided to combine his two passions: cigars and cowboys, specifically horses, and the Cowboy Series was born. For those unfamiliar with the brand, Stallone translates to “stallion” in Italian, and each line in the Cowboy Series is named after a specific breed of horse. The color of each wrapper is intended to match the color of the horse’s natural coat. Now, Stallone is adding another size to the stable with a new limited-edition cigar called Clydesdale, and retailers can expect the cigar on November 1.
The Clydesdale is a massive, well-muscled breed of horse that is distinguished by shaggy long hair on the lower legs. Its cigar counterpart is a massive grande measuring 6 ? inches by 60 ring gauge, complete with a shaggy foot. The cigars have a suggested retail price of $11.95 each.
Made at the Tabacalera Las Villas factory in Nicaragua, Clydesdale is a Nicaraguan puro, and features a Connecticut broadleaf seed planted in Nicaragua for the wrapper. Barrios told Cigar Aficionado that all of the tobacco leaves have been aged for five years before rolling and then aged for an additional year after rolling.?
According to the company, the blend is full bodied.
Production of Clydesdale will be limited to 1,000 boxes of 20 cigars. Depending on the consumer response, Barrios told Cigar Aficionado that the cigar may make a return in the future.
