Alec Bradley Cigars has announced the release of its newest Fine & Rare edition—the Alec Bradley Fine & Rare ANB-228. Continuing a celebrated tradition that began 14 years ago, this year’s edition showcases ten distinct tobaccos meticulously selected to deliver a rich, balanced smoking experience.
Handcrafted at the Raíces Cubana factory in Honduras, the Fine & Rare ANB-228 features tobaccos from four countries: Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. The blend includes a Honduran Trojes C-98 wrapper, binders from both Honduras and Nicaragua, and a complex filler combination that integrates tobaccos from the Jamastran and Jalapa regions, Mexican San Andrés, and Dominican Criollo.
This year’s Fine & Rare is described as medium-bodied, offering notes of hazelnut, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. “After extensive testing of aged tobaccos and a meticulous blending process, we feel confident that Fine & Rare ANB-228 is one of the most luxurious and rewarding cigars we’ve ever produced,” said Alec Bradley Brand Ambassador Bradley Rubin.
The cigar is presented in a single 7 x 50 Churchill vitola and limited to 1,500 boxes of 10 cigars, allocated exclusively to brick-and-mortar retailers. The Fine & Rare ANB-228 carries an MSRP of $19.99 per cigar and will begin shipping November 3.
