Alec Bradley Prensado Cigars

Alec Bradley Prensado cigars are the first all BOX-PRESSED selection from Alec Bradley Cigars, and arguably their most muscular to-date. Made at Raices Cubanas in Honduras, the blend starts with carefully chosen Honduran and Nicaraguan longfillers girded in a Nicaraguan Jalapa binder. But the pièce de résistance of these cigars are the Honduran Trojes Corojo 2006 wrappers. Expect a very smooth, yet potent smoke rife with deep, dark-roasted coffee and pepper flavors. Very impressive!

Alec Bradley Cigars represent some of the world's finest premium cigars. With their passion for excellence, Alec Bradley premium cigars are expertly handmade using the most select tobaccos from all over the world, and have achieved numerous 90 and greater cigar tasting scores from Cigar Aficionado, among others. When you light-up an Alec Bradley cigar you can expect a cigar made to the highest standards of quality for a smoke that's consistently rich in flavor and aroma. The Alec Bradley Cigar Company's primary goal is to give cigar smokers an unforgettable experience.

Founded in 1996 by Alan Rubin, the Alec Bradley Cigar Company has gone the distance, earning itself a position as one of the cigar industry's leading producers of world-class, boutique cigars. Sought for their excellence and creativity in tobacco blending, Alec Bradley cigars have acquired a large and loyal following. In 2011, the Alec Bradley Prensado Churchill was awarded a "96" tasting score by Cigar Aficionado magazine, and subsequently chosen as the No.1 cigar among their "Top 25 Cigars" of the year.

Alan Rubin has always had a passion for fine cigars. So, when his family's import business was sold in 1996, he decided to build a cigar company dedicated to bringing the time-honored tradition of Cuban-style handmade cigars to the market. At that time, the "cigar boom" was at its peak. Unable to do it alone, Alan brought in his friend Ralph Montero (now the company's executive vice president), to oversee the company's daily operations.

When it came to deciding who would produce their first cigars, they were fortunate enough to develop a partnership with renowned master blender, Henke Kelner, known for his work with Davidoff in The Dominican Republic. The first cigars he produced for Alec Bradley Cigars were the Occidental Reserve selection. Debuting in 1999, the brand received favorable reviews, getting the new company off to a good start.

One of the elements that has made Alec Bradley unique among boutique cigar makers is its willingness to be edgy. In 2002, the company introduced the Trilogy line. These cigars employed a triangular press, resulting in a three-sided cigar. Four years later, they introduced Alec Bradley Maxx. Made at Plasencia's Tabacos de Oriente factory in Danli, Honduras, Maxx was an all oversized selection ranging from 5 to 9¼-inches in length and from 50 to 60 gauge in ring size. Priced affordably, Maxx drew a lot of attention upon its release, but the best was yet to come.

By 2007, Alec Bradley Cigars had clearly established itself as a major contender in the premium cigar industry. The question was, "How would they follow their own act?" The answer came one year later with the release of Alec Bradley Tempus selection. Latin for "time," Tempus was seven years in the making. In 2001 the company had found an exquisite and flavorful Corojo wrapper leaf grown in the Trojes region of Honduras. Giving the leaf enough time to fully-cure, the cigars were produced at Raices Cubanas, resulting in an unprecedented "94" tasting score for the Tempus "Centuria." This achievement significantly raised the bar for the company, as well as the releases that followed, including the Family Blend, Overture, Sun Grown, Prensado and Black Market, among others.

Today, Alec Bradley Cigars continues to produce many of the finest and most innovative premium cigars you'll ever put to your lips.
