Alec Bradley, a renowned cigar brand, was founded in 1996 by Alan Rubin, the son of a hardware importer. Rubin named the brand after his two sons and launched it during the crowded cigar market of the late 1990s. Early efforts to market cigars for golfers and flavoured after-dinner options failed. However, Rubin found success selling budget-friendly cigars to tobacconists.

The breakthrough came in 2007 with the release of the full-flavoured “Tempus” line, which gained wide appeal. By 2011, Alec Bradley was selling 2 to 3 million cigars annually to enthusiasts worldwide.

Black Market Robusto

The black market in the cigar trade often involves tax evasion, contraband, or stolen goods. However, Alec Bradley’s Black Market cigar uses its edgy name to grab attention. To keep it, founder Alan Rubin created a unique and memorable blend.

Crafted in Honduras by the Plasencias, this dark cigar features a Nicaraguan wrapper and an Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed binder. Its filler is primarily Honduran, but the standout ingredient is Panamanian tobacco. While not illegal, Panamanian tobacco is rare in premium cigars and adds a distinctive touch to this Churchill.

The blend is expertly balanced, with no single tobacco overpowering the others. Dried herbs and smoked hickory notes enhance the nutty richness, while bursts of spice appear at just the right moments. Medium to full-bodied, the Black Market combines the familiar with the unusual for a truly captivating smoking experience.

Alec Bradley Black Market Robusto continues to earn ratings of “90” and above, as well as the hearts and palates of smokers worldwide—an earthy smoke with touches of leather, coffee and spicy notes.
