对于一些人来说，提到傅满洲（Fu Manchu）会想到英国作家萨克斯·罗默（Sax Rohmer）的旧小说，对于其他人来说，唤起了对彼得·塞勒斯（ Peter Sellers）的最后一部电影《傅满洲的奸计》的回忆。但是对于雪茄爱好者来说，这意味着通用雪茄的中国农历新年系列（Chinese New Year series）的最新一个产品。

傅满洲是中国农历新年产品线的第四个系列，之前分别是2019年的蛋卷（Egg Roll），2020年的炒杂烩（Chop Suey），2021年的宫爆（Kung Pow）。和之前的外包装类似，傅满洲的包装借鉴了中美的外卖食品。今年，傅满洲雪茄的外包装盒是一个看起来很像盛汤的容器。

这款新品是在洪都拉斯的HATA雪茄厂生产，茄衣是洪都拉斯烟叶，茄套是印度尼西亚烟叶，茄芯是尼加拉瓜、墨西哥、多米尼加的混合烟叶。雪茄50环径粗，6英寸长，盒压公牛造型，每支建议零售价是5.99美元。雪茄一侧有一根延伸的猪尾辨，和屏幕上傅满洲的长辫子相呼应。

每盒是20支包装，发行6400盒，2月1日起开始向零售商发货，以庆祝中国新年。

（译者按：傅满洲是一个清朝服饰、留着长辫子的虚拟中国男子角色，代表着西方社会上世纪60年代某些势力对中国人的印象，较为负面和贬义）

附参考原文：

For some, the mention of Fu Manchu calls to mind the old novels of Sax Rohmer. For others, it brings back memories of Peter Sellers in his final film, The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu. But for cigar smokers, it means the newest Punch in General Cigar’s Chinese New Year series.

The Punch Fu Manchu is the fourth in the line, following last year’s Kung Pow!, 2020’s Chop Suey and 2019’s Punch Egg Roll. Like the previous releases, the packaging of Fu Manchu is a jovial reference to Chinese-American takeout food. This year, Fu Manchu cigars come in a box that resembles a soup container.

The new Punches are made in Honduras at the HATSA factory and consist of a Honduran wrapper, Indonesian binder and filler blend of tobacco from Nicaragua, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Each box-pressed Toro measures 6 inches by 50 ring gauge and carries a suggested retail price of $5.99. The long pigtail running down the side of the cigar is meant to resemble the long Chinese braid worn by Fu Manchu on-screen.

The soup containers come with 20 toros, and only 6,400 of these boxes will be released. They begin shipping today in celebration of the Chinese New Year.
