General Information

The Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto is from Honduras and comes in a Robusto format. It has a Honduran Corojo 2006 wrapper, Nicaraguan Jalapa binder, and fillers from Honduras and Nicaragua. It's hand - made, with a price of about $8 each. It was debuted at this year's IPCPR convention in New Orleans and is available in five vitollas.

Taste and Smoking Experience

  • One third: It starts mild, then a little spice develops at the tip of the tongue and stronger notes at the back of the throat. It burns with blue smoke from the foot and light - grey smoke from the draw, leaving a “zebra - ash”. The early spice is mild to moderate.
  • Two thirds: The spice mellows and maintains a consistent and pleasant flavor.
  • Three thirds: The spice reemerges and leaves a mild peppery finish.

Additional Details

The wrapper is maduro - colored and oily with a little veiny character. The pre - light aroma has a mild sweet hint and more pronounced aromas at the foot. The filler blend is visible as a swirl of light and dark tobaccos at the foot. The body is firm. The draw is smooth with light - to - moderate resistance, and the pre - light taste has tobacco and slightly bitter cocoa notes.
