Beer and cigars can be a tricky combination as hops and tobacco don’t always play well together on the palate. But General Cigar Co. and Cigar City Brewing believe they’ve found the perfect pairing. The Tampa-based brewery has teamed up with General for a new, beer-friendly smoke called Cigar City Brewing Maduro by Punch.
用啤酒和雪茄搭配可能是一个棘手的组合，啤酒花和烟草在味觉上不能很好的呼应。但是通用雪茄公司和雪茄城市酿造公司却找到了完美的组合。这家总部位于坦帕的啤酒厂和通用雪茄合作开发了一款新的适合喝啤酒搭配的雪茄，取名为“潘趣雪茄城市酿造马杜罗”。
Made in Honduras at the HATSA factory in Danlí, the new Punch is made entirely of Honduran tobacco and was blended especially for Cigar City’s brand of beers.
这款新品是再洪都拉斯的丹利的HATSA雪茄厂卷制，全部采用了洪都拉斯烟叶，为雪茄城市的kaiyun(中国)体育 专门生产的。
Cigar City Brewing Maduro by Punch comes in two sizes, Magnum, at 5 1/4 inches by 54 ring gauge, and a 6-by-50 Toro. Packaged in 20-count boxes, they retail for $8.29 and $8.49, respectively. According to General, the new Punches are shipping now to select liquor chains across the U.S. with a larger launch coming early next year.
雪茄有两个尺寸，一款是54环径、5.25英寸的马格纳姆，一款是50环径、6英寸的公牛。每款都是20支一盒的包装，单支零售价分别是8.29美元和8.49美元。通用雪茄介绍，这款潘趣的新款目前正在发往美国各地的酒品连锁店，明年初的供应量会更大。
Punch senior brand manager Ed Lahmann said the new cigar “pairs beautifully with the Cigar City portfolio of beers, and also stands strong on its own.” He called out the Habano leaves from Honduras as an element that accentuates the beers of Cigar City.
