A Different Type of Connecticut Cigar with Alec Bradley Connecticut

Leave a comment

shop now alec bradley connecticut cigarsIn 2010, Alec Bradley launched a Connecticut wrapper cigar, the Alec Bradley Maxx. Then, he released the Alec Bradley American Classic cigar with a Connecticut wrapper in 2011. No one was expecting him to launch yet another Connecticut shade cigar at the 2012 IPCPR Trade Show, and it was kept a secret until it was officially launched. The Alec Bradley Connecticut cigar marked the third year in a row a cigar with a Connecticut wrapper was launched by Bradley, and people weren’t sure what to expect.

It may have been a bold decision to have three Connecticut wrapper cigars, but it was a smart one. The Alec Bradley Connecticut is very different from the Maxx and American Classic. The cigar features a Connecticut shade wrapper from Ecuador. Under the wrapper, there are Nicaraguan and Honduran binders with Honduran fillers. The result is a mild to medium-bodied cigar with complex and peppery flavors.

Even if you’re a fan of full-bodied cigars, the Connecticut makes for a nice occasional mellow smoke. You can buy them in Nano, Robusto, Toro, Torpedo and Churchill sizes. Buy them from Cuenca Cigars for the best online prices.

In 2012, Alec Bradley announced that he would be launching a new line of cigars dedicated to Nicaraguan tobacco. Originally planned for a 2012 launch, the cigars didn’t actually hit the market until 2013. Bradley wanted the cigar to be perfect when it was finally available. Although the wait was long, no one was disappointed when the cigar hit stores. The Nica Puro cigar was a huge success with great ratings.

Since the first cigar became available, there has been a demand for other cigars in the line. That’s where Nica Puro Rosado comes in. It was launched at the 2015 IPCPR Trade Show and is only the second cigar in the Nica Puro line. This cigar, much like the first, has not disappointed.

Just like the first Nica Puro, Nica Puro Rosado cigars celebrate the flavors and quality of Nicaraguan tobacco. Using a double-binder from Nicaragua and fillers from the three richest regions in Nicaragua (Esteli, Condega and Jalapa), the cigar has fantastic flavor. It stands out from the original Nica Puro with a Golden Rosado Colorado wrapper.

Alec Bradley Nica Puro Rosado is available in six different sizes and comes in boxes of 20. Find out if the wait was worthwhile and try one from Cuenca Cigars for the best online prices.

Alec Bradley Sanctum Worth the Wait

Alec Bradley first announced a new edition to his cigars, called Alec Bradley Sanctum at the 2014 IPCPR. However, enthusiastic smokers had to wait a whole year for the cigar line to be launched. At the 2015 IPCPR, Bradley launched Alec Bradley Sanctum and it was received with great anticipation.

Ralph Montero, the Executive Vice President of Alec Bradley, is the creator of the Alec Bradley Sanctum cigar blend. The cigar lives up to its namesake – the translation of “Sanctum” in Latin is “a sacred or holy place.” With a Honduran corojo wrapper, a binder from Costa Rica and Costa Rican and Nicaraguan fillers, the cigar truly does take you to a peaceful place. It’s sleek, has notes of clean tobacco and has sweet notes to balance it out.

Every little detail was accounted for with this cigar, even the band. The Alec Bradley Sanctum cigar has a double band that prevents you from damaging the wrapper when you remove it. The bottom band is connected to the cigar with tension, and the top band is connected with goma. The wrapper is unscathed when the band is removed.

Although five vitolas of Sanctum were originally announced in 2014, there are only four sizes in production. For the best online prices, you can get Alec Bradley Sanctum in Robusto, Double Gordo, Gordo and Toro from Cuenca Cigars.
