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. When he finds some really special tobacco, he will build an entire cigar around it. That’s exactly what happened when Alan stumbled across some tobacco from Panama. He was amazed by its unique flavor and mysterious origin, and it put his gears in motion. How could this tobacco be so special and not be illegal (it’s not)? That’s how he came up with the name Black Market, and it was the inspiration for the branding and packaging for the Alec Bradley Black Market Churchill.

The Alec Bradley Black Market Churchill is a unique cigar in the company’s portfolio. It features unique packaging and is the only AB cigar without a traditional band. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The blend is a 4 nation affair featuring filler tobacco from Panama and Honduras along with a binder leaf from Sumatra, and a dark, inviting Nicaraguan-grown Maduro wrapper leaf with a nice oily sheen. This medium to full bodied cigar features notes of smoked wood and leather with hints pepper. These well-balanced flavors are extremely satisfying and pair well with a nice peaty scotch.
