ALEC BRADLEY 

Alec Bradley Cigar Company dates back to 1996 and was founded by Ralph and Alan, it was their passion for cigars that encouraged them to invest their life into something they love; founding Alec Bradley Cigar Company.

In 1998 they decided to create their first cigar together, Occidental Reserve. The response proved that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and that pushed them to continue to develop cigars that we and others have been excited to smoke.

Alec Bradley have a goal: to give you, the cigar smoker, an unforgettable experience.

PRENSADO

Alec Bradley Prensado Churchill cigars have the distinction of a 96 score and 1st place in Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of 2011.

This long, extra full-bodied, box-pressed cigar is a dreamboat brimming with dark, spicy tobacco flavours and complexity. Box pressed in the true Cuban tradition. The Trojes Corojo wrapper provides power and flavour. A truly classic smoke.

"Prensado means a lot to me and the Alec Bradley story. Rolled at Raices Cubanas (‘Cuban Roots’) factory, the Prensado was first created to pay homage to the Cuban traditions of cigar making rolling the filler ‘entuba-do,’ triple capping the head and box pressing the finished cigar. Blended with proprietary estate grown corojo from the Trojes region of Honduras, Prensado would eventually be named Cigar Aficionado “Cigar of the Year,” propelling Alec Bradley’s trajectory into cigar culture much quicker than I anticipated."
- Alan Rubin

Tasting Notes

91 / 100

"Slightly pressed with a dark-brown wrapper, this Churchill develops a steady progression of roasted coffee bean, dark chocolate and raw almond notes. Spicy touches of cinnamon and clove precede the sweet finish..."

A lovely smoke it has to be said,this cigar looks and smells great before you even light it,the pre lit draw is woody with a slight bitterness and good mild tobacco flavours,upon first lighting the woody mild tobacco flavours are confirmed and also a slight black coffee flavour is present,it remains this way until about the half way point when the coffee disappears and a subtle peppery kick and a slight bitterness intermingle with the mild tobacco flavours,this increases in the last two inches and an earthy taste starts to overwhelm the other flavours. I disagree that this is a full bodied smoke mild/medium I'd say comparable to somewhere between a HdM and a romeo and I smoked it on an empty stomach with a cup of tea! But still very good

Excellent cigar. Treated myself to this for my birthday, along with hefty serving of vintage port, and would recommend it. For me it seemed like a very smooth smoke, without a harsh edge that even other cigars that I have enjoyed had to a degree. Although this did seem to change into the last third, and I put it out pretty quick, but totally unconcerned by this as I'm fairly sure it had hit the 2hr mark by this point. Totally deserving of a score over 90, but taking into account the price it should hover near 100, if you're looking for a long smoke and are concerned with value I haven't found anything comparable.

Great Cigar. Straight medium flavours of cream,spice(pepper) with a fair bit of Citrus(Apricot) some wood notes. I bet some reading this just laughed but there was a distinct apricot flavour coming through which was confirmed by a good m8 who was also smoking the same cigar. But be warned, even though alot of reviews have this as a medium strength smoke, which for the first two thirds it was. But on hitting the last third the strength really increased. This cigar demands you smoke after a good full meal or at least have a good sweet/sugar based drink to counter the nicotine. Smoke time was around the one and half hours to two hour mark. For the price you cannot complain about this cigar and well worth at least trying one stick.

This is simply a great cigar for the beginner/novice to begin to appreciate a darker wrapper and the complexity of a longer smoke... I don't pretend to know anything more than a beginner/novice as I've only been at it for a couple of years but this is one of - if not - the best cigars - at this price point your money can buy... thoroughly satisfying and pleasantly different to the rest of the pack...
