Cigar companies and producers all have their own backstories, their philosophies, and their senses of identity that color the cigars they produce. Many boast a vibrant history and legacy of handing down secrets of cultivating, curing, selecting and rolling from father to son or from mentor to apprentice. Some even boast of survival through the turmoils of revolution and bringing their secrets from the old country to a new and continuing to thrive. You will hear phrases glorifying the halcyon days of the past and florid language of fame and excellence.

Alec Bradley’s message is simple, unadorned, but powerful. As they say themselves, “we don’t save lives, we just make them better one hour at a time.” That philosophy carried by Alec Bradley is that the enjoyment of a quality cigar comes the same to all people, in all places and across all times. That down to earth approach to bringing the enjoyment of good tobacco to people everywhere has steeped their brand with the character to create some excellent cigars, and that is exactly what they have done. There are many award-winning Alec Bradley Cigars, and here are some top choices that you can find right here at Atlantic Cigar.

Alec Bradley Prensado Churchill
The Alec Bradley Prensado Churchill uses a dark Honduran Corojo wrapper which is the cornerstone of the cigar. Hand-rolled and filled with Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos, this cigar gives the smoker a complex blend of rich, heavy notes reminiscent of leather and chocolate. It also offers the smoker a long, enjoyable, complex smoke that will develop beautifully. Box pressed, comfortable in the hand, and refreshingly deep in color and luster, this cigar is a favorite for good reason, winning Cigar Aficionado's #1 Cigar of the Year in 2011.

Alec Bradley Tempus Natural Centuria
Here’s another one of Alec Bradley’s award winners, winning Cigar Aficionado's #5 Cigar of the Year in 2017 with a 94 rating. Named after “time,” and pursuant to Alec Bradley’s commitment to allowing cigar smokers to enjoy their time to the fullest, this cigar is a prime example of execution. Its 49 ring gauge really allows the powerful notes of the Honduran Criollo Wrapper to shine through. Even so, its filler of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Indonesian tobaccos rounds out the Tempus Natural Centuria with a full body. Strong, woody, nutty, perhaps even earthy, this cigar is like a fine but powerful whiskey or beer. It takes the introspection and reflection of time to fully appreciate its complexity, which perhaps is another nod to its namesake.

Alec Bradley Mundial Punta Lanza No. 5
It’s not just the interesting shape of these cigars that makes them a pleasure to behold in the hand and the sight. Short, full, and tapered, hence Punta Lanza (lance point or lancehead), these cigars offer the smoker a full-bodied, strong, heavy smoke flavored of leather and earth, but with the piquant tones of spices. A Mundial, like a Tempus, is best enjoyed slowly and reflectively, allowing the palate and room notes to open in their complexity as you enjoy the cigar through the life of the smoke.

Alec Bradley Prensado Gran Toro
Alec Bradley uses only the finest wrappers from the Trojes region of Honduras, and this is a fine example of a specimen that really showcases those efforts. This cigar is a pleasure to look at before you even get a chance to savor its flavor. The Honduran Corojo wrapper shows off a handsomely dappled varicolored medley of dark reds and browns. Surprisingly smooth, this cigar is still fully imbued with the flavor of earth and spices like pepper.

Alec Bradley Texas Lancero
This cigar is a handful. A ring gauge of 70 makes this cigar not only enjoyable on the palate but in the hand. It is a comfort to handle and offers the smoker a somewhat less heavy smoke than many other Alec Bradley Cigars. Don’t be fooled though, this heavyweight is still packed to the gills with a complex blend of flavors. It’s smooth, yet laden with the flavor of leather, nuts, even pepper.
