Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Toro

92 points, Cigar Aficionado

Continuing from the limited Edition Black Market blend series comes the Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Toro. Alec Bradley’s Black Market range is highly sought-after in the world of cigars, primarily due to its unique blend of fillers that include premium Honduran tobacco – a defining feature of the Alec Bradley brand – in addition to tobacco from Panama. These fillers are expertly combined with an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, culminating in a dark, oily Nicaraguan wrapper.

Hand rolled at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Estelí, the country’s epicentre for handmade cigars. The Esteli Toro is draped in a dark and oily Nicaraguan wrapper, encasing filler and binders from Nicaragua and Honduras regions.

This offers the senses a bold balance of pepper, earth and cocoa with an aroma of sweetness and coffee. The construction gives the user a smooth effortless even draw while delivering a satisfying and thick smoke, perfect with an evening pairing. With its high-quality construction, well-balanced flavour profile, the Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Toro is a great choice for both novice and experienced cigar users alike.
