Sometimes it really makes one wonder how someone came up with the name of a cigar, but there’s no such mystery with an Alec Bradley American Classic Robusto. The front mark relates to it having been specifically designed to recreate the experience of smoking a cigar produced during the heyday of Tampa cigar production in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Much like most of the stogies rolled in Ybor City, this cigar contains a variety of tobaccos from Central America. The filler and binder are succulent, potent leaves from Nicaragua, while the wrapper is a smooth and rich Honduran Connecticut selected for its mellow creaminess.

 

To pull an Alec Bradley American Classic Robusto from its cellophane is to be transported back in time by the crisp aroma, which is like a mix of endless hay fields and an open-air spice market. The tastes during a cold draw test are of cedar and ripe pear carried by an easy airflow through the thickly bunched leaves. Alight, the 5” X 50 barrel of the cigar delivers ample flavor from the contrasting tobaccos. The rugged Nicaraguan longleaf filler booms with cocoa, sticky honeybun, black pepper, and dried stone fruit while the velvety shade wrapper adds leather, earth, and touch of lemongrass. During the long burn time, the cigar approaches being full-bodied while the overall strength remains a solid medium.

 

So, does the Alec Bradley American Classic Robusto really taste like walking down 7th Avenue in 1922 and stepping into a small cigar shop to pluck a fresh-rolled right from the torcedor’s table? Maybe. Is it a delicious smoke that’s going to be the best companion ever to a rich cup of coffee or a hefty pour of dry gin? Definitely. For a real treat, turn the radio to a ballgame, kick back, and revel in the simpler joys of life.
