Alec Bradley is a pretty widely recognized name in the world of premium cigars. Most people assume it’s the name of the company’s founder, but that’s Alan Rubin, who named the brand after his sons Alec & Bradley. It’s no surprise that they ended up in the cigar business. Since they were kids, they learned to appreciate the tradition and artistry of premium cigars even before they were allowed to smoke. When they both came of age and joined the family business, they began to learn different aspects of the cigar industry. It didn’t take them too long to figure out that they wanted to follow in their father’s footsteps and become second generation cigar makers. With Alan’s blessing, the brothers created Alec & Bradley Premium Cigars. They have been working and blending new, unique cigars that are different than the offerings from their father’s business.

The Rubin brothers’ latest release is called Alec & Bradley Kintsugi, and it pays homage to the ancient Japanese artform of joining together broken ceramics with gold lacquer – making them even more beautiful. Their philosophy is that cigars, like the gold lacquer, are a bonding agent that bring people together from all walks of life. It is this idea that celebrates the unique camaraderie of cigar smokers. The Alec & Bradley Kintsugi blend features carefully selected and well-aged Nicaraguan and Honduran filler and binder tobaccos along with a Honduran wrapper leaf grown in the Trojes region. This medium-full strength blend features tasting notes of fatty nuts, cinnamon, and leather with hints of earth, pepper, cocoa, and honey.
