通用雪茄公司旗下的迪賽雪茄品牌的周末肉醬( Sunday Gravy)系列如今推出第三個版本:迷迭香(Rosamarino),這次仍然是交給費爾南德斯公司代工生產。
這個品牌始于2021年7月,當時斯堪的納維亞煙草集團的銷售子公司復制者發布了周末肉醬系列的第一款產品:圣馬扎諾(San Marzano),來指代意大利圣馬扎諾地區有名的西紅柿。10月份,發布了第二款產品:佩科里諾(Pecorino),用來指意大利的佩科里諾羊奶干酪。如今這款迷迭香將在2月28日發貨給零售商。
根據復制者公司的說法,Rosamarino這個名字是指迷迭香賦予菜肴的復雜性,但是在意大利語里,迷迭香這個單詞沒有字母a,是rosemary。
當然,雪茄煙葉里沒有迷迭香。這款雪茄使用的是全尼加拉瓜煙草。茄套是孔德加地區的煙葉,茄芯是孔德加(Condega)、埃斯特利、奧梅特佩( Ometepe)火山島地區的混合煙葉。
新品只要一個尺寸,公牛,50環徑粗,6英寸長。每盒10支包裝,每支稅前零售價是4.99美元。
復制者公司預計下一個版本將在4月份發布,每個季度發布一款周末肉醬系列的新品。

The Diesel Sunday Gravy series makes its saucy return with the third release in the line: Rosamarino, made in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez for Forged Cigar Company.
It started in July when Forged, a distribution arm of Scandinavian Tobacco Group, released its first Diesel Sunday Gravy San Marzano brand. Then, in October, the Sunday Gravy Pecorino made its way to market. On February 28, the Diesel Sunday Gravy Rosamarino will be shipping to retailers. According to Forged, the name Rosamarino is supposed to be a nod to the complexity that rosemary lends to any dish, however, the Italian translation for the word “rosemary” is rosmarino without the “a.”
Not that there’s any dried rosemary in the cigar. Instead, Diesel Sunday Gravy Rosamarino consists solely of Nicaraguan tobacco, including a binder from Condega and a filler blend of tobacco from Condega, Estelí and the volcanic island of Ometepe.
The cigars come in one size, a Toro that measures 6 inches by 50 ring gauge. It’s sold in 10-packs and retails for $4.99 per cigar before taxes.
The intention is for different Sunday Gravy blends to be released quarterly, and Forged anticipates the next release to come out in April.
