弗洛伊德雪茄公司（Freud Cigar Co.）將于2月晚些時候發(fā)布其最新雪茄，該品牌名為AlterEgo（第二自我），這個命名跟隨了弗洛伊德的第一個常規(guī)產品線的品牌SuperEgo（超我），這個名字具有強烈的弗洛伊德色彩。不同的是，SuperEgo是在多米尼加共和國的威廉文圖拉雪茄廠卷制的，這款AlterEgo是在埃拉迪奧·迪亞斯的迪亞茲卡布雷拉雪茄廠卷制的，這家小工廠是迪亞茲從日內瓦大衛(wèi)杜夫公司離職后的創(chuàng)業(yè)企業(yè)，還是一家規(guī)模不大的雪茄廠。

這款AlterEgo使用的茄衣是墨西哥圣安德烈斯煙葉，茄套是印尼種植的蘇門答臘種子煙葉，茄芯是多米尼加煙葉。使用了多個煙草品種： Pelo de Oro（金發(fā)）、Corojo（科羅霍）、Havana 92（哈瓦那92）、Piloto Cubano（古巴皮洛托）。

雪茄有三個尺寸：公牛，52環(huán)徑，6英寸，零售價是每支28美元。羅布圖，50環(huán)徑，5英寸，零售價是26美元。朗斯代爾，43環(huán)徑，6.5英寸，零售價是25美元。都是每盒10支的包裝。

這是迪亞茲和弗洛伊德雪茄公司的第二次合作。第一次合作是去年發(fā)布的限量版雪茄阿加佩（Agape），是古希臘語，譯為“愛的最高形式”。

本月底這款新茄將在美國拉斯維加斯的大衛(wèi)杜夫雪茄酒吧舉辦新品發(fā)布會，隨后在煙草+博覽會上與零售商見面，預計3月份向零售商發(fā)貨。這款雪茄從2022年2月份以來一直處于發(fā)酵狀態(tài)。

Freud Cigar Co. is releasing its newest cigar later this month, a brand called AlterEgo that’s made with a variety of different tobaccos. According to Freud, these cigars have been aging since February of last year.?

AlterEgo is made in the Dominican Republic by industry veteran Eladio Díaz at his Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera, a small factory that Diáz opened after departing Davidoff of Geneva and starting over on his own. The blend consists of a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, an Indonesian Sumatra binder and an entirely Dominican filler blend using a host of seed varieties: Pelo de Oro, Corojo, ’Havana 92 and Piloto Cubano.

The new brand comes in 10-count boxes and is offered in three sizes: Toro, measuring 6 inches by 52 ring gauge; a 5-by-50 Robusto; and a Lonsdale at 6 1/2 by 43. They will have suggested retail prices of $28, $26 and $25, respectively.

This is the second collaboration between Freud Cigar Co. and Díaz. The first joint project—Agape—was released last year as a one-size, limited-edition cigar. AlterEgo also follows Freud’s first regular-production brand, SuperEgo, which is made by William Ventura in the Dominican Republic.?

AlterEgo will be introduced to retailers at the Tobacco Plus Expo trade show later this month before a launch party on February 23 at Davidoff Cigar Bar in Las Vegas. Retailers can expect the cigars to start shipping at the beginning of March.
