60環(huán)徑或者更粗的雪茄曾經(jīng)被稱為雪茄行業(yè)的怪胎，如今已經(jīng)成為高端市場(chǎng)的主流產(chǎn)品。尼加拉瓜雪茄制造商阿加諾薩煙草公司在旗下的JFR瘋子馬杜羅系列中增加了兩個(gè)大口徑雪茄，作為本月在拉斯維加斯舉辦的TPE貿(mào)易展的專供款。

兩個(gè)新款的尺寸分別是60環(huán)徑、6.5英寸，和70環(huán)徑，7英寸。60環(huán)徑的零售價(jià)是9.99美元，70環(huán)徑的是10.5美元。每款都是28支一盒的包裝。雪茄的茄衣是墨西哥圣安德烈斯煙葉，茄套和茄芯煙葉是阿加諾薩公司在尼加拉瓜的自有農(nóng)場(chǎng)種植的。據(jù)說這些粗大的環(huán)徑是為了滿足零售商和消費(fèi)者的需求而設(shè)計(jì)的。

JFR是Just for Retailers的首字母縮寫，2005年推出，這個(gè)系列僅在零售門店出售。JFR瘋子系列是2014年推出，是JFR品牌的延伸，基本都是粗環(huán)徑的雪茄。公司認(rèn)為，抽那么粗口徑的一定是瘋子，就戲稱這個(gè)產(chǎn)品線是瘋子系列。后來，又出現(xiàn)了其他系列，比如Lunatic Torch、Lunatic Loco。

除了這兩款新雪茄，阿加諾薩煙草公司還將在TPE展會(huì)上展出一款包含四支雪茄的體驗(yàn)裝，這四支雪茄包括了JFR產(chǎn)品線的三款煙葉混合，尺寸都是52環(huán)徑，6.5英寸，超級(jí)公牛型號(hào)，有兩支科羅霍手杖，馬杜羅和康涅狄格手杖各一支。體驗(yàn)裝的零售價(jià)是一包25美元。除了馬杜羅手杖使用了墨西哥茄衣，康涅狄格手杖使用了厄瓜多爾康涅狄格種子茄衣煙葉，其他的煙葉全部是阿加諾薩煙草公司自己種植的。

新尺寸的馬杜羅系列計(jì)劃3月底或者4月份向零售商發(fā)貨，四支裝的體驗(yàn)裝將在TPE貿(mào)易展后直接發(fā)貨。

Once known as an oddity in the cigar industry, fat cigars of 60 ring gauge or more have become mainstream in the premium market, and Nicaraguan cigarmaker Aganorsa Leaf is adding two more hefty sizes to its JFR Lunatic Maduro line. The new smokes will be available for preorder to those who attend the TPE trade show taking place in Las Vegas later this month.

The two new cigars are named after their dimensions: 6 1/2 x 60 ($9.99) and 7 x 70 ($10.50). All the tobaccos used in the cigars are grown on farms in Nicaragua owned by Aganorsa, save for the Mexican San Andrés wrapper. According to the company, these thick new sizes were created in response to both retailer and consumer demand.?

The massive new smokes ship in boxes of 28.

Introduced in 2005, the JFR brand was intended to be sold only in retail shops (the letters stand for “Just For Retailers”). The JFR Lunatic, which first was introduced in 2014, is an extension of the original JFR brand consisting of heavy-ring-gauge cigars. The line is playfully called Lunatic because the company believes one has to be crazy to smoke cigars so large, some of which have a whopping 80 ring gauge. Since then, there have been other sub-brands added to Lunatic such as Lunatic Torch and Lunatic Loco.

In addition to the mammoth new cigars, Aganorsa Leaf will also have for preorder the JFR “Fresh Pack” a four-cigar sampler containing three blends of the core JFR brand all presented in the same 6 1/2-by-52 Super Toro vitola. Inside will be two Corojo sticks and one each of the Maduro and Connecticut. The sampler pack has a suggested retail price of $25.

The cigars consist entirely of leaves grown by Aganorsa, except the Mexican cover leaf for the Maduro line and the Ecuador Connecticut wrapper used for the Connecticut line.

The JFR Fresh Pack will start shipping directly after the trade show, whereas the new sizes of Lunatic Maduro are expected to ship either late March or early April.
