4月10日,奎薩達雪茄家族的族長曼努埃爾·“馬諾洛”·克薩達 (Manuel “Manolo” Quesada) 年滿75周歲,為了紀念這個生日以及他在雪茄行業(yè)的幾十年經(jīng)歷,他親自研究了一款煙葉混合,命名為馬諾洛·奎薩達75周年,預(yù)計今年夏天將供貨給零售店。
這位《雪茄愛好者》雜志名人堂成員在一份新聞稿里說,“我很幸運,在這個煙草行業(yè)工作了63年,其中有48年是在雪茄制造行業(yè)。”
這款雪茄只有一個尺寸,丘吉爾,48環(huán)徑,6.75英寸,這是奎薩達雪茄最喜歡用的一個尺寸。茄衣是厄瓜多爾種植的科羅霍煙葉,茄套是多米尼加煙葉,茄芯是多米尼加、尼加拉瓜的混合煙葉。單支零售價是15美元,每盒10支包裝,預(yù)計生產(chǎn)1200盒。奎薩達家族的雪茄廠位于多米尼加,名為Tabacos de Exportación Inc.(TABADEX,煙草出口公司)。
馬諾洛·奎薩達75周年將在今年的PCA貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)上接受預(yù)定。

Yesterday, Manuel “Manolo” Quesada, patriarch of the Quesada cigar family, turned 75 years old. In honor of this milestone and his many decades in the cigar industry, he blended a limited-edition cigar himself called the Manolo Quesada 75th. It should start appearing at retail this summer.
“I have been very fortunate, and blessed, to have worked in the tobacco world for 63 years, and for 48 years in the cigar manufacturing side of the industry,” said the Cigar Aficionado Hall-of-Famer in a press release.
Made at Quesada’s Tabacos de Exportación Inc. (TABADEX) factory in the Dominican Republic, the cigar will only be available in a single Churchill size measuring 6 3/4 inches by 48 ring gauge—one of Quesada’s go-to sizes. The Manolo Quesada 75th is rolled with an Ecuadoran Corojo wrapper, a Dominican binder and a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. They’re slated to retail for $15 each.
Manolo Quesada 75th will be available for preorder at this year’s PCA trade show and production will be limited to only 1,200 boxes of 10.
