Alec Bradley Cigars: Blends, Tobacco and Vitolas
The Alec Bradley portfolio includes cigars produced in Honduras and Nicaragua using tobacco from several growing regions. Honduran and Nicaraguan wrappers appear throughout the collection, while individual blends also incorporate Sumatra, Brazilian Habano, Mexican San Andrés, Panamanian, and other tobaccos as wrapper, binder, or filler components.
This makes blend composition particularly useful when comparing Alec Bradley cigars. Black Market combines a Nicaraguan wrapper with a Sumatran binder and Honduran and Panamanian fillers, while Project 40 uses a Nicaraguan wrapper and filler around a Brazilian Habano binder. Tempus Nicaragua takes another approach as an all-Nicaraguan blend.
Popular Alec Bradley Cigar Blends
Alec Bradley Black Market
Black Market is a medium-to-full-bodied blend using a Nicaraguan wrapper, Sumatran binder, and Honduran and Panamanian filler tobaccos. The Panamanian filler is an important distinction within the Alec Bradley portfolio and contributes to a blend built around spice, cocoa, earth, and underlying sweetness. Black Market is produced in formats ranging from smaller cigars to Robusto, Toro, Gordo, Torpedo, and Churchill sizes.
Alec Bradley Kintsugi
Kintsugi is a medium-bodied Honduran-made cigar built around a Honduran Trojes wrapper with Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos in both the binder and filler. This separates Kintsugi from the Nicaraguan-wrapped Black Market and the all-Nicaraguan Tempus Nicaragua. The line is produced in Robusto, Corona Gorda, Toro, and 6 x 60 Gordo formats.
Alec Bradley Tempus
Tempus provides a useful example of how Alec Bradley uses tobacco origin to create separate expressions within a cigar family. Tempus Natural is a Honduran-made blend built around Honduran tobacco, while Tempus Nicaragua uses Nicaraguan tobacco for the wrapper, binder, and filler. Both are offered in traditional formats including Robusto, Toro, Torpedo, Churchill, and larger ring gauges, allowing smokers to compare the two tobacco compositions in similar vitolas.
Alec Bradley Project 40
Project 40 is a medium-bodied cigar using a Nicaraguan wrapper and Nicaraguan filler around a Brazilian Habano binder. Project 40 Maduro changes the wrapper to Mexican San Andrés Maduro, creating a darker expression while retaining Project 40 as a distinct family within the portfolio. Current sizes include traditional Robusto and Toro dimensions as well as larger 6 x 60 formats.
Alec Bradley American Classic
American Classic occupies the smoother end of the Alec Bradley range. The blend uses a Honduran Connecticut-seed wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos and is classified by Alec Bradley as mellow to medium in body. It is offered in familiar formats including Corona, Robusto, Toro, Gordo, Torpedo, and Churchill.
Black Market Filthy Hooligan
Filthy Hooligan is a limited-release extension of the Black Market family distinguished visually and compositionally by its barber-pole wrapper. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes a Toro using Honduran Candela and Nicaraguan Oscuro wrapper leaves. The contrasting wrapper tobaccos make Filthy Hooligan substantially different from the standard Nicaraguan-wrapped Black Market blend.
Black Market vs. Tempus Nicaragua vs. Project 40
Black Market, Tempus Nicaragua, and Project 40 illustrate three different approaches to Nicaraguan tobacco within the Alec Bradley portfolio. Black Market combines its Nicaraguan wrapper with a Sumatran binder and Honduran and Panamanian fillers. Tempus Nicaragua is an all-Nicaraguan blend, while Project 40 pairs Nicaraguan wrapper and filler tobaccos with a Brazilian Habano binder. Project 40 Maduro adds another variation by using a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper.
Alec Bradley Robusto, Toro, Churchill and Gordo Cigars
Alec Bradley produces many of its established blends across multiple traditional vitolas. Robusto and Toro formats appear throughout the portfolio, while several lines extend into Churchill, Torpedo, Gordo, and larger ring-gauge sizes. Comparing different vitolas within the same blend keeps the tobacco composition consistent while changing cigar dimensions and the relative proportions of wrapper, binder, and filler.
