14，陳化屋夸特羅尼加拉瓜協奏曲（Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Concerto）

50環徑粗，7英寸長，得分93分，單支售價11.24美元，全尼加拉瓜煙葉卷制。這個產品線對榮譽并不陌生，魚雷造型的大師（Maestro）被評為2019年的年度雪茄。這次，盒壓丘吉爾型號的協奏曲再次進入前25名。這款雪茄是由尼加拉瓜的y A.J.費爾南德斯代工生產。拉斐爾·諾達爾（Rafael Nodal）和他的生意伙伴漢克·比肖夫（Hank Bischoff）、喬奇·布蘭科（Jochy Blanco）以及諾達爾的妻子阿麗娜（Alina）共同擁有陳化屋這個品牌。不同款式的陳化屋雪茄在不同的雪茄廠代工生產。這款煙葉混合物給我們提供了最佳性能的表現，從濃縮咖啡和巧克力，到山核桃和焦糖。尾端可以感受到八角茴香的共鳴。

The Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua blend is no stranger to high honors. The torpedo-shaped Maestro was the 2019 Cigar of the Year and the brand makes a return to the Top 25 list with the Concerto, a box-pressed Churchill composed of Nicaraguan tobacco. It’s produced in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez for Rafael Nodal who owns the Aging Room brand along with his partners, Hank Bischoff, Jochy Blanco and his wife, Alina. There are many different Aging Rooms made in different factories, but this is the blend that gives us the finest performance: an orchestral suite of flavors that range from espresso and chocolate to pecan and caramel. A note of star anise resonates on the finish for a lasting encore.

15，埃雷拉埃斯特利哈瓦那大羅布圖（Herrera Esteli Habano Robusto Grande）

52環徑粗，5.25英寸長，得分93分，單支售價9.5美元。茄衣是厄瓜多爾煙葉，茄套是洪都拉斯煙葉，茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉。煙葉混合大師威利·埃雷拉（Willy Herrera）為德魯莊園雪茄公司創造了很多富有表現力的雪茄，這家雪茄公司目前為斯威舍國際公司（Swisher International）所有。這款和埃雷拉同名的產品線是2013年發布的，在尼加拉瓜的德魯莊園大雪茄廠（Gran Fabrica Drew Estate factory）卷制。埃雷拉至今為這個產品線發布了好幾款，但是都不如最初發布的版本那樣出名。埃雷拉埃斯特利哈瓦那的命名取自它的厄瓜多爾哈瓦那茄衣煙葉，這款大羅布圖散發出濃郁而平衡的泥土和胡椒味，并帶有咸味花生、蜜餞山核桃和焦糖的甜味元素，尾端的烤面包味讓這款雪茄回味無窮。

As his lofty title suggests, master blender Willy Herrera has created many expressive blends for Drew Estate, the handmade cigar company now owned by Swisher International. His namesake cigar, Herrera Esteli first appeared in 2013 and is made in Nicaragua at the Gran Fabrica Drew Estate factory. Since its debut, Herrera has made a few more varieties of the brand, though this year, none have resounded as loudly as the original. The Herrera Esteli Habano is named for its Ecuador Havana wrapper. The Robusto Grande delivers a substantial, yet balanced, smoke of earth and pepper underscored by sweet, nutty elements of salted peanut, candied pecan and caramel. A toasty finish makes this cigar as cohesive as it is flavorful.

16，喬亞銀色羅布圖（Joya Silver Robusto）

50環徑粗，5英寸長，得分93分，單支售價7.25美元。茄衣是厄瓜多爾煙葉，茄套是墨西哥煙葉，茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉。喬亞雪茄公司是尼加拉瓜目前歷史最悠久的手工雪茄制造商。50多年來，這家公司生產著僅由尼加拉瓜煙葉卷制的典型尼加拉瓜雪茄。銀色系列代表了公司的新篇章，選用了其他品種煙葉，以滿足當今市場的多樣化口味。當然，銀色系列并不會和公司的傳統口味差別太大，畢竟茄芯仍然是尼加拉瓜煙葉。墨西哥茄套和厄瓜多爾哈瓦那茄衣與喬亞的本國煙葉形成鮮明對比，尤其是這款羅布圖，泥土和可可香味與烤咖啡、黑巧克力和深色水果相得益彰。雖然煙味濃郁，但是帶有優雅的焦糖布丁甜味。

Joya de Nicaragua holds the distinction as oldest handmade cigarmaker in Nicaragua. For more than 50 years, the factory has produced what it believes to be the quintessential Nicaraguan cigar, consisting of only Nicaraguan tobacco. Joya Silver represents a new chapter in the company’s history, comprising other tobaccos to address the diverse palates of today’s market. Joya Silver doesn’t stray too far, as the filler is still completely Nicaraguan. However, the Mexican binder and Ecuador Havana wrapper bring a contrast to Joya’s native leaf, especially in the Robusto where its initial notes of earth and cocoa burst with roasted coffee, dark chocolate and dark fruits. The smoke is intense, though finely trimmed with an elegant cre?me bru?le?e sweetness.
