Alec Bradley Cigars
Alan Rubin is one of the cigar industries most recognisable names and a former winner of 'Cigar Of The Year' in Cigar Aficionado magazine for the stunning Alec Bradley Prensado Churchill and its all down to a chance 10-second meeting. It was in 1998 after the first boom years of the US cigar industry that Alan found his fledgling cigar business struggling. As Alan was about to go into a meeting he bumped into Ralph Montero (a cigar industry professional) as he was leaving one. A brief exchange of business cards took place and offers were made to make contact.
The rest they say is history. With Ralph's help and sound advice, they managed to steer the company in the right direction, developing the brand and investing in new lines. It has all paid off handsomely. Now you might be forgiven for thinking that Alec Bradley is a person, and any normal person in their right mind would, however, you would be wrong....it's actually two people! When Alan set up the company, he named it after his two sons Alec & Bradley!
Alec Bradley Bomb Girl Megaburner
There are table lighters and then there are table lighters and this one definitely falls in to the second category!
Introduced to critical acclaim in 2019 the original Alec Bradley Mega Burner took over two years to develop. When filled to capacity the Mega Burner has a burn time of almost 8 hours and the single ignition, easily adjusted mushroom type flame lights every cigar perfectly. For the designs, Alan Rubin, founder of Alec Bradley, turned to a friend and celebrated Colorado artist Ralf Schuetz who is renowned for his 'Urban Pop', 'Visionary Art' and wild, creative album cover graphics.
Rubin says he came up with the names for each of the lighters in the series and sent these to Schuetz, then he stepped back to let the artist do what he does best; create ''the size of the Mega Burner tank offers a unique opportunity to allow creativity to run wild'' Rubin said ''having commissioned projects with Ralf before, I knew his visionary style and use of colour could help me achieve my goal of presenting pieces with collectors appeal''
The lighter is presented in a luxurious presentation box with the Mega Burner silhouette and a sample of the lighter artwork. Upon opening, the lighter and the story of the artwork's inspiration are revealed.
Only 500 units of this lighter have been produced.
THIS LIGHTER CANNOT BE SHIPPED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.

If you want a quick smoke you have, unfortunately stopped at the wrong page!

Alec Bradley Black Market Punk - Single
A new size in the Black Market range that is designed for a quicker smoke. Made in Tabacas De Oriente in Danli, Honduras using a mixture of Panamanian and Honduran fillers with a Sumatran binder and Nicaraguan wrapper.
The "Punk" is designed to be a natural follow on in terms of name to the hugely successful Candela wrapped "Filthy Hooligan" and we are sure this petit corona sized Black Market is going to go down a storm!
Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Robusto - Single
One of the best cigars that I have tried this year so far. These are more medium bodied in style than some of the other AB BM's that I have tried and have a very pleasant streak of sweetness running through them. Still big in terms of flavour, but more rounded around the edges.
Alec Bradley Coyol Robusto - Single
This has to be about one of the best cigars I have tried ever! I know that is a rather sweeping statement but I think this is the complete package. Produced by the Vega Coyol farm, this uses selected tobacco's to produce a medium bodied, slightly earthy smoke. This cigar looks very attractive too with a lovely sheen to the gorgeous Honduran skin. The draw is absolutely perfect in every respect with a very even burn showing that the build quality is second to none. The very high quality filler tobacco's and binders are sourced from selected parcels from both Honduras and Nicaragua.
Personally this rates in my top 5, will you agree?
Alec Bradley Coyol Gordo - Single
One of Alec Bradley's exclusive farms - La Vega Coyol - produces this retro-style blend. Robust, rustic and an instant classic with cigar devotees worldwide.
Sometimes tobacco has a great aroma or great flavour, Coyol has both. A must try!
