As the company has done in years past, Alec Bradley showcased a special smoking experience as part of the annual TAA Exclusive Series, joining roughly a dozen other high-profile cigarmakers in supporting the Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA).
While similar such releases from Alec Bradley have been limited sizes of pre-existing lines, the 2023 launch was an all-new project, designed to be offered exclusively by retailers that are members of the TAA. The Alec Bradley TAA Edition 2023 cigar was rolled in a single 6" x 52 toro format, making use of a Criollo '98 wrapper from Trojes, Honduras. This cover leaf surrounds a double binder of Criollo '98 from Estelí, Nicaragua and the Jamastran Valley in Honduras. Finally, the filler recipe includes Criollo from the Jamastran Valley and Trojes, as well as Criollo '98 from Jalapa, Nicaragua.
What does the Alec Bradley TAA Edition 2023 cigar taste like?
The Alec Bradley TAA Edition 2023 cigar is complex yet approachable, bringing out a medium intensity and a flavor-forward performance. Expect smoking times of an hour and a half, offering enjoyable characteristics of cedar, toasted bread, salted pretzel, and a zesty nutmeg component.
