Worth knowing
According to company legend, AB chief Alan Rubin toasted enthusiastically with the man responsible for this blend to the good harvest that led to its creation. Be that as it may - the dark cigar with the blue ring is a lot of fun for 50 - 60 minutes.
Flavours
Of course, ‘toast’ here means something like ‘toast’ or ‘drink’ - but somehow the pithy, intense flavour of this slightly more than medium-strength blend is reminiscent of toasted bread. Coincidence or not - the distinctive roasted notes harmonise excellently with the distinct aroma of strong black coffee, which becomes increasingly concise, deep and earthy as the smoke progresses, the bitter cocoa note and the subtle liquorice sweetness, all accompanied by just the right dose of peppery spice. The full body of the Robusto suggests more strength than it possesses; however, the smoking experience is always extremely pleasant.

Alec Bradley
Alan Rubin hatte nicht nur einen vagen Traum, sondern auch den dazu passenden Realisierungsplan vor Augen, als er sich dazu entschloss, eine eigene Zigarrenlinie zu produzieren, die später zu Alec Bradley wurde. Doch die Umstände meinten es nicht gut mit ihm und der schrumpfende Markt der Zigarrenmanufakturen in den 1990er Jahren machten es ihm schwer zu bestehen. Rubin kämpfte und versuchte mit Mühen, seine Alec Bradley Cigar Company zu behalten. Er wollte weder verkaufen, noch die Produktion stoppen, geschweige denn aufgeben. Als der Zigarrenliebhaber Anfang 2000 die unrentable Alec Bradley Edition „Bogey´s Stogies“ herausbrachte, musste er Einbußen von mehr als 60.000 US-Dollar hinnehmen. Der Zeitpunkt für seine erste eigene Zigarrenlinie hätte nicht schlechter gewählt sein können. Der Zigarrenboom neigte sich dem Ende zu und es gab zu viele Zigarren Anbieter im Vergleich zu ihren Abnehmern. Es schien ausweglos für Alec Bradley. Auf der Suche nach einem Ausweg aus dem finanziellen Ruin traf der Unternehmer, wie der Zufall es wollte, Ende 2000 Ralph Montero, den Zigarrenexperten und Gründer der Marke Montero Cigars. Der eine suchte Knowhow, der andere Kapital. Was lag da näher, als sich zusammenzuschließen? Schnell wurden die beiden Tabakexperten sich einig. Montero brachte neben fachlichem Wissen hervorragende Kontakte mit sich – unter anderem den bekannten Tabakzüchter aus der Dominikanischen Republik Henke Kelner. Die Produktion von Alec Bradley lief wieder an und schnell waren Erfolge sichtbar.

The high-quality black and red leather cigar case from Adorini is made from genuine leather. It is easy to open and close thanks to the convenient zip. In addition to the height-adjustable cigar compartment with magnetic closure, which offers space for 5 to 7 cigars up to Churchill format, the case has two additional compartments for accessories in which aficionados can easily transport their favourite lighter and cutter.

The term Boveda comes from the Spanish and translates into German as vaulted cellar. It is a user-friendly humidity control product that has been specially developed for use in cigar cases, countertop and travel humidors. Each Humipak consists of a saturated salt and water solution protected by a permeable membrane. The Boveda Humipaks offer the user the advantage that he no longer has to remember to refill the humidor's water reservoir every day, as he simply replaces the corresponding number of Boveda Humipaks every 1 - 3 months. These are designed to release treated moisture into the humidor, thereby reducing the risk of bacteria, mould or fungi forming in the humidor. They also have the advantage over conventional humidification systems that they minimise fluctuations in the humidity balance of the humidor, allowing the cigars to mature perfectly. The constant humidity level preserves the natural oils and sugar components of the cigars, giving them the opportunity to mature optimally.
