Alec Bradley Cigar Co. has a well-deserved reputation for churning out hit after hit to satisfy their loyal fans. It’s due in no small part to the meticulous attention to detail of the brand’s founder, Alan Rubin. But it wasn’t a quick and easy journey. He joined the premium cigar industry in 1996, but stumbled to find his footing for a while. He had a line of bundle cigars made in the Dominican Republic by Henke Kelnrer of Davidoff that was good, and he introduced the industry’s first (and only) triangular pressed cigars. Around 2005, he was told of a great little factory in Honduras called Raices Cubanas and traveled to see what the hype was about. It was this trip that altered the course of his company and set them on the path towards greatness. In 2007, they launched the Tempus line and established themselves as a serious player in the game. Two years later, working with the same factory, Alec Bradley introduced Prensado, and their legacy had been cemented as a world class cigar maker.

Since 2013, Alec Bradley has been galvanizing us with their incredibly popular Limited Edition Filthy Hooligan line of cigars, which intertwines a fresh Candela wrapper with a Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf to create a lush, full flavored barber-poled vitola. This medium-bodied cigar also features both Honduran and Panamanian fillers to provide a complex experience that exhibits wonderful notes of earth, cream, and coffee. Limited to just 2,000 boxes worldwide, make sure you snatch these bad boys up when they appear, as this line sells out quickly each and every year!
