這個夏天,德魯莊園公司出品的一對細長的限量版雪茄將重返市場。一款名為埃雷拉埃斯特利哈瓦那限量版長矛,一款名為埃雷拉埃斯特利康涅狄格闊葉店鋪專賣版長矛。全美國的約600家參與德魯外交官項目的門店將會分配到這些雪茄。
這些雪茄在尼加拉瓜的德魯莊園雪茄廠生產,38環徑,7英寸。因為比較細,卷制難度大,工廠抽出四對工人負責專門卷制,每一對中有一個負責卷(roller),一個負責成型(buncher)。
煙葉混合大師威利埃雷拉在一份新聞稿中說,長矛是他最喜歡的尺寸,那些修長漂亮的煙葉,以及他們之間細微的差別,吸引你的注意力。
哈瓦那版本的長矛使用的茄衣是厄瓜多爾哈瓦那煙葉,茄套是洪都拉斯煙葉,茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉。(如下圖)
康涅狄格闊葉版本的長矛使用的茄衣是康涅狄格闊葉煙葉,茄套是巴西的馬塔菲娜(Mata Fina)煙葉,茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉(如下圖),這個版本在2020年之前一直是門店專賣款,只有某些門店有售。哈瓦那版本是中等濃度口味,康涅狄格闊葉版本是中等到濃郁的口味。
這兩款預計7月份上市,都是每盒15支,在美國地區的零售價是每支12.95美元。

A pair of slender, limited-edition smokes from Drew Estate are returning to cigar retailers this summer. The Herrera Esteli Habano Edicion Limitada Lancero and the Herrera Esteli Connecticut Broadleaf Tienda Exclusiva Lancero, will be heading to shops that are part of the Drew Diplomat Program, approximately 600 locations nationwide.
Made in Nicaragua at the La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate factory, the skinny smokes measure 7 inches by 38 ring gauge. Due to the difficulty of rolling of such a thin size, only four roller-buncher teams in the entire factory are tasked with producing them.?
“The Lancero is generally my favorite size,” said master blender Willy Herrera in a press release. “[It] allows the smoking characteristics of those beautiful leaves—especially their nuances—to truly grab your attention.”
The Herrera Esteli Habano Edicion Limitada Lancero consists of an Ecuador Habano wrapper, Honduran binder and Nicaraguan filler. The Connecticut Broadleaf Tienda Exclusiva Lancero, which was a store exclusive until 2020, is rolled with a Connecticut broadleaf cover leaf, Brazilian Mata Fina binder and Nicaraguan fillers. According to the company, the Habano Lancero is on the medium-bodied side, whereas the Broadleaf is a little stronger at medium to full.
The Broadleaf Lancero and the Habano are expected to hit the market in July. Both come in boxes of 15 with a suggested retail price of $12.95 per cigar.
