Alec Bradley Cigar Company dates back to 1996 and was founded by Ralph and Alan, it was their passion for cigars that encouraged them to invest their life into something they love; founding Alec Bradley Cigar Company.
In 1998 they decided to create their first cigar together, Occidental Reserve. The response proved that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and that pushed them to continue to develop cigars that we and others have been excited to smoke. Alec Bradley have a goal: to give you, the cigar smoker, an unforgettable experience.
Alec Bradley’s annual St Patrick’s Day cigar, the Black Market Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole is back for 2022! This marks the ninth spring release of the limited edition Hooligan. The popular blend features a subtle Candela wrapper intertwined with a dark Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper leaf adding a rich flavour to accentuate the more delicate notes of the green leaf. Underneath the dual wrappers are a complex blend of long filler Honduran and Panamanian tobaccos, held together by a flavourful Sumatran binder.
Once again the Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole will be joined in 2022 by the Black Market Filthy Hooligan Shamrock. What sets the Shamrock apart from other barber pole cigars is that it is covered in not one, not two, but three different wrapper leaves - a Candela, a Maduro and a Seco which were all grown in Honduras. Alec Bradley are keeping the binder and filler details are closely guarded secret!
