The cigar that took Cigar of the Year in 2011 with a 96 rating, and the blend the rest of the Alec Bradley catalogue gets measured against.
Built around a Trojes Corojo wrapper grown in a remote corner of Honduras — a leaf almost nobody else has access to. Rich, redolent and full-bodied, with leather, pepper and dark earth. Five sizes from a corona gorda to a seven-inch Churchill.
