Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Punk

Alec Bradley’s Black Market Esteli Punk packs a lot of attitude into a 4 1/4 x 42 petite corona, rolled at Plasencia in Estelí with a dark Nicaraguan wrapper over Honduran and Nicaraguan binders and hearty Nicaraguan fillers. Full-bodied and surprisingly layered for the size, it pours on notes of earth, leather, nuts, dark chocolate, cloves, vanilla sweetness, and a little cedar, like espresso and cocoa with a spicy snap on the finish. For smokers who like their short sticks rich and busy, Punk brings the kind of bold, well-balanced Nicaraguan character that keeps every puff tasting bigger than it looks.
