老化室雪茄品牌的所有人拉斐爾·諾達爾（Rafael Nodal）在他的產(chǎn)品線里加入了新的樂章，計劃2月晚些時候在美國煙草+展覽會上亮相。這款雪茄采用全尼加拉瓜煙葉卷制，名為老化室夸特羅尼加拉瓜奏鳴曲（Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata），是夸特羅產(chǎn)品線的延伸。這個產(chǎn)品線的“大師”曾經(jīng)在《雪茄愛好者》雜志社的2019年度測評中獲得年度冠軍。

由于受到莫扎特、舒伯特和貝多芬等作曲家的奏鳴曲的影響，擅長鋼琴和小提琴的諾達爾本人希望創(chuàng)作出他認為相當于雪茄奏鳴曲的款式。他再次求助于雪茄制造商A.J.費爾南德斯，實現(xiàn)自己的愿景。這款Sonata的所有煙葉都是費爾南德斯的農(nóng)場培育出來的，諾達爾表示這款Sonata的煙葉強度會相對輕一些。

雪茄在費爾南德斯的雪茄廠生產(chǎn)，有六個尺寸。 Espressivo，50環(huán)徑，5英寸，零售價是每支13.02美元。 Maestro，52環(huán)徑，6英寸，魚雷造型，零售價13.13美元。Vibrato，54環(huán)徑，6英寸，零售價13.24美元。Concerto，50環(huán)徑，7英寸，零售價13.37美元。Grande，60環(huán)徑，6英寸，零售價13.55美元。Impromptu，52環(huán)徑，6.5英寸，零售價14.98美元，雙尖魚雷造型。除了Impromptu，每個尺寸都是每盒20支的包裝，Impromptu是每盒10支的包裝。

2月22日在拉斯維加斯舉辦的TPE貿(mào)易展上，這個系列產(chǎn)品將和觀眾見面，隨后在3月中旬向零售商發(fā)貨。雪茄是美國煙草公司旗下的阿塔迪斯公司負責經(jīng)銷。

Brand owner and musician Rafael Nodal has added another movement to his symphonic suite of Aging Room cigars, and it’s being introduced later this month at the Tobacco Plus Expo trade show. Called Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata, the all-Nicaraguan cigar is a line extension of the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua, a high-scoring brand that won Cigar of the Year in 2019 for its Maestro size.

Drawing influence from the sonatas of such composers as Mozart, Schubert and Beethoven, Nodal—a pianist and violinist himself—wanted to create what he believed would be the cigar equivalent of a sonata. He did this by once again turning to cigarmaker A.J. Fernandez to help realize his vision. As with the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua, all the tobacco in Sonata was grown on Fernandez’s farms, but Nodal says that Sonata is a bit lighter in body on account of the different seed varietals and longer fermentation process.?

Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata is made at Fernandez’s factory in Estelí and comes in six sizes: Espressivo, measuring 5 inches by 50 ring gauge ($13.02); a 6-by-52 torpedo called Maestro ($13.13); Vibrato at 6 by 54 ($13.24); Concerto, 7 by 50 ($13.37); a 6-by-60 Grande ($13.55) and a double-tapered figurado with a suggested retail price of $14.98 that measures 6 1/2 by 52 called Impromptu. All sizes come in 20-count boxes except for the Impromptu, which comes in boxes of 10.

After their preview to retailers at the TPE trade show, which starts on February 22 in Las Vegas, the cigars should ship to retailers around the middle of March. Aging Room cigars are distributed by Altadis U.S.A., a division of Tabacalera USA.
