Alec Bradley Family Blend


Alec Bradley Family Blend Robusto


51/2 x 50 ring


Wrapper: Honduras


Binder: Indonesia


Filler: Honduras, Nicaragua



Info: This cigar was created for the three founding fathers of the company Alan Rubin, Ralph Montero and George Sosa. It only comes in one size a Robusto and has a Cuban pigtail.


Appearance: First thing i notice is the pigtail. I appears to be a well constructed cigar that is firm to the touch. The wrapper is a red,gold and black and smells delicious. I was given this cigar at St.Pete Cigars the Alec Bradley rep was there for an event.


The Smoke: I pull out my stainless steel double blade guillotine cutter and my Rockey Patel triple flame blow torch. Initial reaction WOW a nice smooth medium flavored cigar with a hint of pepper. It has a nice easy draw, with thick grey smoke. It has NO harshness to it and a nice even burn.


Review: I was a fan of Alec Bradley Maxx before this smoke and now am a bigger fan of Alec after smoking this stick. This was a great smoke from beginning to end, a very nice medium flavored cigar with a hint of pepper. This will go I my top 10 favorite smokes if not top five. I recommend picking up a couple of these sticks and try the other cigars by Alec Bradley cigarsSCR, Vice Press and the MAXX. Also check your local cigar shops for an Alec Bradley cigar event.
