The Alec Bradley Story

Alan Rubin founded Alec Bradley in 1996 naming the company after his two sons. After years of importing cigars, Rubin partnered with master blender Ralph Montero in Honduras to begin crafting original blends. The breakthrough came in 2004 when the Alec Bradley Prensado earned the No. 1 Cigar of the Year ranking from Cigar Aficionado — a staggering achievement for a small boutique brand competing against legacy manufacturers. Rather than chase volume, Alec Bradley doubled down on quality, working closely with farms in Honduras and Nicaragua to source the finest aged tobaccos. Today, every Alec Bradley release is backed by years of blend development and rigorous quality control.

The brand's Honduran factory, Raices Cubanas, produces some of the most technically precise cigars in Central America. Rubin's philosophy is simple: never compromise on tobacco quality, never rush a blend, and never ship a cigar that isn't ready. That approach has translated into decades of high scores from major rating publications and a customer base that returns again and again.

Alec Bradley Product Lines

Alec Bradley Prensado

The Prensado is the cigar that put Alec Bradley on the map. A square-pressed powerhouse built with a Honduran Jamastran wrapper over Honduran and Nicaraguan binder and fillers, the Prensado delivers an incredibly complex smoking experience. Rich notes of dark chocolate, leather, roasted espresso, and subtle spice unfold over a long, satisfying burn. The construction is flawless, with a draw that feels engineered. If you want to understand why Alec Bradley earned its reputation, start here. Available in a range of vitolas from Robusto to Churchill.

Alec Bradley Black Market

The Black Market is one of the best values in premium cigars. Built on a foundation of aged Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos with a dark, oily Honduran wrapper, this smoke punches well above its price point. Expect rich earth, leather, and dark fruit with a creamy finish. The Black Market consistently earns 90+ scores and has become a staple at Sun of a Gun Cigars. It's an ideal choice for the smoker who wants serious complexity without paying top-tier prices.

Alec Bradley Coyol

The Coyol takes its name from the coyol palm tree native to Honduras and represents one of Alec Bradley's most ambitious blends. It features a rare Honduran Jamastran 2000 wrapper — a tobacco varietal grown at high altitude that produces an exceptionally oily leaf with tremendous flavor complexity. The result is a full-bodied cigar with pronounced notes of cedar, toasted nuts, dark caramel, and a long, peppery finish. Limited in production and highly sought after, the Coyol is a collector's cigar that drinks above its weight class.

Alec Bradley American Classic

The American Classic is Alec Bradley's tribute to the traditional Connecticut-style cigar. A gorgeous natural Connecticut shade wrapper drapes a medium-bodied blend that's accessible without being boring. Toasted almonds, cream, light cedar, and subtle sweetness make this the perfect daytime smoke. It's also an excellent choice for newer cigar enthusiasts who want to explore a premium brand without the intensity of a full-bodied blend. Smooth, balanced, and elegantly constructed.

Alec Bradley Tempus

The Tempus — Latin for 'time' — is a celebration of patience in tobacco aging. Each blend component is aged for a minimum of four years before the cigars are rolled, resulting in an exceptionally smooth smoke with remarkable depth. The Tempus features a Honduran Jamastran wrapper over aged Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos. Flavors develop slowly from roasted coffee and leather into sweet oak and dried fruit, with a creamy retrohale. This is a cigar best enjoyed with 90 minutes and no distractions.
