Alec Bradley Cigar Co. has a well-deserved reputation for churning out hit after hit to satisfy their loyal fans. It’s due in no small part to the meticulous attention to detail of the brand’s founder, Alan Rubin. But it wasn’t a quick and easy journey. He joined the premium cigar industry in 1996 but stumbled to find his footing for a while. He had a line of bundle cigars made in the Dominican Republic by Henke Kelnrer of Davidoff that was good, and he introduced the industry’s first (and only) triangular pressed cigars. Around 2005, he was told of a great little factory in Honduras called Raices Cubanas, and he traveled there to see what the hype was about. It was this trip that altered the course of his company and set them on the path towards greatness. Raices Cubanas is the factory where the bulk of Alec Bradley Cigars are made now.

The Alec Bradley Connecticut Churchill is a smooth operator that lives up to the expectation of what an Alec Bradley cigar should be. It’s mild-medium in strength but has a wonderful flavor profile that won’t overwhelm the smoking experience. It strikes a great balance of flavor and strength thanks to its Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers and binders paired with an Ecuadorian grown Connecticut shade wrapper. Tasting notes include flavors of toasted nuts, earth, and sweet woods along with hints of pepper and cocoa. This Connecticut truly has a lot to offer!
