今年是中國農(nóng)歷的虎年，剛過去的鼠年是2020年，而下一個鼠年是2032年。但是德魯莊園雪茄公司顯然不想等待那么久，下個月，該公司計劃再次生產(chǎn)和供貨私人聯(lián)盟系列的鼠年版本雪茄，這個版本的雪茄最初是2016年推出的，2020年在農(nóng)歷鼠年又生產(chǎn)過。

喬納森·德魯，德魯莊園雪茄公司的創(chuàng)始人和總裁，這樣解釋說：就像聽音樂，有時候遇見你喜歡的歌曲，你會說，喲，快倒帶。鼠年雪茄也是這樣。

私人聯(lián)盟產(chǎn)品線里，鼠版本算是熱門產(chǎn)品。今年的產(chǎn)量將會受到限制，公司并沒有透露準(zhǔn)確生產(chǎn)量是多少。和最初設(shè)計和發(fā)布的一樣，這個版本的茄衣還是深色的康涅狄格闊葉煙葉，茄帽捏成標(biāo)志性的扇形帽子。茄套是巴西煙葉。茄芯是尼加拉瓜、洪都拉斯煙葉。

雪茄46環(huán)徑，5.5英寸，每盒10支包裝，在美國的零售價是每支17.12美元。德魯外交官計劃的合作零售門店在全美一共有600家左右，預(yù)計6月15日可以收到這款雪茄。

According to the Chinese zodiac, this is not the year of the rat, it’s the year of the tiger. The last year of the rat was in 2020, and the next one won’t be until 2032, but Drew Estate doesn’t feel like waiting that long. Next month, the company is bringing back its Liga Privada Unico Serie Year of the Rat cigar, which first came out in 2016, and was re-released in 2020 in accordance with the lunar calendar.?

“With music sometimes a new song comes out and you’re like, ‘Yo, hit rewind,’ ” says Drew Estate founder and president, Jonathan Drew. “It’s a testament to a proper beat, the lyrics, the complete-ness … well same thing for Year of the Rat.”

The Rats tend to be hot items with Liga Privada smokers, and this year's run of Rats is going to be limited in production (although Drew Estate hasn’t disclosed precisely how many will be released). Like the original, the Year of the Rat is made with a dark, Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and topped with its signature fantail cap. It’s filler of Nicaraguan and Honduran tobacco is brought together by a Brazilian binder. Each cigar measures 5 ? inches long by 46 ring gauge and comes in 10-count boxes, which retail for $171.20 per box, or $17.12 per cigar.?

Retail members of the Drew Diplomat program (approximately 600 locations nationwide) can expect the cigars to arrive at their shops on June 15.?
