About this cigar
Alec Bradley's Black Market line has built a devoted following by delivering genuine complexity at an accessible price point. This Gordo sits squarely in the sweet spot: a 6x60 that demands attention without demanding hours. The San Andrés maduro wrapper is nearly black, promising the kind of deep sweetness and leather that keeps smokers reaching back. The blend reveals itself gradually. Expect cocoa and molasses in the first third, with black pepper and subtle spice emerging as you work deeper. The vitola's mass lends a cool, consistent burn and allows the full flavor profile to unfold at a deliberate pace. It's substantial enough for a serious smoke after dinner, yet approachable enough that it won't alienate newer customers. For your lounge or retail case, the Gordo format hits a natural rhythm: it's indulgent without being ceremonial, premium without the luxury price tag. Customers who gravitate toward Maduro cigars will recognize the quality immediately. The 24-count box makes rotation predictable, and Black Market's reputation means you're selling confidence as much as tobacco.
