Alec & Bradley

Second-generation sons of Alec Bradley founder Alan Rubin, Alec and Bradley Rubin launched their own label with the critically acclaimed Blind Faith. Their follow-up, Gatekeekper, upped the ante by having master blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo help push the family legacy into bold new territory. Releases like Blind Faith and Gatekeeper deliver high-clarity notes of leather, cocoa, dried fruit, and cedar with a consistently medium-plus strength that rewards both seasoned enthusiasts and curious newcomers. Rated as high as the #7 Cigar of the Year in 2020, these small-batch, artisanal smokes honor the Rubin family tradition while carving out a distinctly modern, boutique identity.
