DANIA, FL May 5, 2011- Perhaps a parade would have been more in order. Alec Bradley Cigars is pleased to announce the release of their newest premium cigar series, Alec Bradley American Classic Blend. Following the lead of the companys outstanding-rated Tempus, Family Blend, and Prensado cigars, this patriotic-inspired selection offers a mild to medium-bodied blend of specially-aged Nicaraguan Estelí and Condega long-fillers, Nicaraguan Jalapa binder, and a Honduran-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper. Scheduled to launch in conjunction with Memorial Day, the Alec Bradley American Classic Blend isnt your fathers cigar its your fathers-fathers cigar; the kind of old-school feel, Tampa-style cigars that were smooth, sweet and complex. The cigars will retail from $3.95 to $5.50 (higher tobacco taxation states excluded), and are expected to arrive at tobacconists just in time for Memorial Day weekend.
We wanted to make an affordably-priced handmade cigar like the cigars that were popular in America during the early part of the 20th century, said Alec Bradley Cigars President, Alan Rubin. Even with the SCHIP tax, the customer is getting a high-quality smoke at a very reasonable price.
The American Classic Blend is presented in boxes of 20 cigars in the following six sizes:
Corona: (42 x 5 1/2)
Robusto: (50 x 5)
Toro: (50 x 6)
Churchill: (48 x 7)
Torpedo: (52 x 6 1/8)
Gordo: (60 x 6)
