Alec Bradley Black Market Estelí

Made by Plasencia Cigars, this one-of-a-kind cigar is artfully crafted with not one, but two binders, and delivers pepper, spice, and subtle sweetness like a freight train to your palate. Ranked as Cigar Aficionado's #9 Cigar of the Year for 2018, flavors and aromatics are always interesting and a mighty fine mixture of sweet and fruity, bittersweet and dark, and tannin-rich and nutty. 

Smoky at times, and undeniably meaty in its earlier moments, this blend brings the transitions in rapid succession. It's an oily, dark cigar sort of smoking session that almost feels full-bodied at times, but prefers to leave that to its cigar flavor profiles.
