Under-the-counter and over the top with flavor, Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli cigars are what we’re smoking. This new blend enhances the original Black Market with the spicy and robust full-bodied flavors of Esteli grown tobacco. Binders may be the loneliest tobacco leaf, but Alec Bradley hooked up Black Market Esteli with a flavorful pal. They smuggled not just one, but two binders into this cigar for a smooth combination of Nicaraguan and Honduran tobacco, complimented by a dark Nicaraguan wrapper and Nicaraguan filler. Alec Bradley smuggled this premium to continue the Black Market legacy of luxury class tobacco with a price that’ll make you question if they fell off a truck somewhere. Snag yourself these cigars while the coast is clear!
Excellent value, excellent product
A first rate cigar. Very flavorful and smooth. I can't speak for just the Black Market cigar for I havnt tried it but the Esteli is a cigar I light up frequently and enjoy anytime of day. Of course an affordable cigar for anyone. Great Buy!
LOVE THEM
I liked the Black Market when it came out but the Esteli version goes over the limit, great taste, great burn and excellent wrapper. Definitely on my refill list.
Great cigar , great flavor , even burn , can’t say enough good about it ....
This cigar has become one of my daily go-to smokes, the draw and burn consistency is remarkable. Taste is a huge plus, that first draw always produces a hint of chocolate then the smoke settles into a smooth silky blend. Without a doubt one of Alec Bradley s finest cigars.
This smoke was fantastic and a slight better than the original Black Market. Good taste, draw and nice burn, not to harsh just right.
Smoked my first one of these a few days ago. Extremely pleased - nice mellow-full, great, long burn. Very nice! Last night tried the second one expecting the same experience....NOT! Terrible draw, spent so much time trying to correct it but impossible to smoke. Very frustrating. First experience reminded me a bit of a Kristoff or Excalibur. Hope 3rd times the charm once again.
A harsh bitey aftertaste even after 4 weeks at 69% R. None of the oily skin desired on a Maduro wrapper. Annoying band to remove covering half of the cigar. A pack of 5 will be enough for me - no more.
Very poor cigar. Too bad because I purchased them in the past in a robusto and they were very good.
