古巴的地圖有點像一條鱷魚,，古巴的昵稱就是鱷魚島,，翹曲雪茄以這個為靈感，退出一款鱷魚島系列雪茄,，目前已經(jīng)向零售店發(fā)貨,。
當然,，鱷魚島雪茄里沒有古巴煙葉，茄衣是厄瓜多爾煙葉,，兩片茄套煙葉,，分別是厄瓜多爾哈瓦那2000煙葉，巴西的阿拉皮拉卡煙葉,，茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉,。
翹曲雪茄的老板凱爾·蓋利斯介紹說，茄衣煙葉是厄瓜多爾種植的哈瓦那煙葉品種,，種植時將煙草植株的花朵掐掉,，也稱為 deslforado（摘花法），這樣可以讓營養(yǎng)重新分配到葉片,，培育出口味強勁的煙草,。很多煙葉田都采用這樣的方法來獲得口味濃郁的煙草,。
這個系列雪茄是在多米尼加共和國島嶼雪茄廠卷制的，有兩個尺寸,。大皇冠,，46環(huán)徑，5.625英寸,，每支13美元,。公牛，52環(huán)徑,，6英寸,，每支14美元。每款都是每盒15支裝,。
Did you ever notice how the island of Cuba sort of resembles a crocodile? That’s how it got the nickname isla del cocodrilo, and this inspired Warped to play on the theme with a new cigar that just went out to cigar shops.
Isla del Cocodrilo, which translates to “island of the crocodile,” doesn’t have any Cuban tobacco in it, of course, but instead is composed of Ecuadoran wrapper, two binders (one Ecuador Habano 2000, the other Brazilian Arapiraca) and Nicaraguan filler. Warped owner Kyle Gellis says that the Ecuador Habano wrapper was culled in the deslforado method, something that’s done in many tobacco operations, where the flower of the tobacco plant was removed in the field. Also called “topping,” this is done so that the plant redirects its energy back into the leaf as opposed to creating a new flower, resulting in stronger tobacco.
Isla del Cocodrilo is made in the Dominican Republic at the Tabacalera La Isla factory. It comes in two sizes: Corona Gorda at 5 5/8 inches by 46 ring gauge, and a 6-by-52 Toro. They retail for $13 and $14, respectively, and are packaged in boxes of 15.
