烟草在线据《雪茄迷》报道编译　　在7月9日版的《雪茄权威》上，由Drew Estate在尼加拉瓜制造的阔叶外包烟叶的深色浓香型雪茄Liga Privada被命名为“美国最热门雪茄品牌”。

　　这个荣誉是自1996年出版的《雪茄迷》杂志的半月刊时事通讯——《雪茄权威》——的编辑们，在对美国全国的顶级实体雪茄店进行一年一度的调查后得出的结果。

　　这是《雪茄权威》开展这项调查的第十八年，也是Liga Privada第一次被命名为最热门品牌——即在雪茄店里被消费者要求购买最多的品牌。

　　接受调查的零售商中，有29.9%将Liga Privada命名为最热门品牌，险胜另一个雪茄品牌Tatuaje，将该雪茄命名为热门品牌的零售商占28.6%。

　　参加这次调查的雪茄店超过了150家，该调查还提名了最畅销的名优雪茄品牌、最畅销的尺寸，并展现了美国全国的销售结果和市场发展趋势。

Cigar Insider Names Liga Privada Hottest Brand In America

　　Liga Privada, the broadleaf wrapped, dark and robust smoke made by Drew Estate in Nicaragua, was named Hottest Cigar Brand in the United States in yesterday's edition of Cigar Insider.

　　The accolade is the result of an annual survey of top brick-and-mortar cigar shops located around the United States polled by the editors of Cigar Insider, the semimonthly newsletter from Cigar Aficionado that has been published since 1996.

　　This is the 18th year Cigar Insider has conducted the survey, and the first time Liga Privada has been named the hottest brand—the one most requested by consumers in cigar shops.

　　Liga Privada was named as a hot brand by 29.9 percent of the retailers who answered the survey, narrowly edging out Tatuaje, which took 28.6 percent of the vote.

　　More than 150 fine cigar stores were represented in the survey, which also named best-selling premium cigar brands, top-selling sizes and showed sales results and market trends from around the U.S. Enditem
