About this cigar
Alec Bradley has long been a favorite among retailers who stock honest, well-made American blends, and the Double Broadleaf Gordo proves why. This release pairs a dark, oily Nicaraguan Broadleaf wrapper with an all-Nicaraguan binder and filler, creating a cigar that's equal parts rich and approachable. The Gordo format, with its generous ring gauge, allows the blend's natural sweetness and cocoa notes to develop slowly across the palate, anchored by subtle leather and a warming black pepper finish. What distinguishes Double Broadleaf from the standard Alec Bradley portfolio is its decidedly darker, more indulgent character. Expect full body without the aggression, a creamy draw, and the kind of complexity that keeps a customer smoking it twice a month rather than once a year. The format trades some of the intensity that smaller vitolas deliver for an extended smoking experience, roughly 90 minutes of steady burn. For your lounge or retail case, the Gordo box of 24 is a volume play that makes sense. It's the cigar for clients asking for something between mild and full-bodied, something that pairs with a bourbon or coffee as comfortably as it does an evening reflection. Stock it alongside your Nicaraguans and darker Connecticut offerings.
