Alec Bradley MAXX Brazil

Originally created for a five pack sampler, the Alec Bradley MAXX Brazil has finally been re-released on its own. Trust us when we say we cannot wait to share this cigar with you. The Alec Bradley MAXX Brazil is filled with the same complex bend as the standard MAXX cigars of Colombian, Nicaraguan, Mexican, and Honduran long-fillers. The difference from other MAXX cigars comes from the Brazilian Mata Fina binder and a dark, oily Brazilian Habano wrapper. This gives this cigar a unique and consistent flavor profile of earth, leather, sweet cedar, cream, coffee, mocha, chocolate, and bursts of mint and licorice from the Brazilian wrapper and binder. We enjoyed this medium to full cigar with a nice and rich port.

Honduras has been a tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing area for hundreds of years, but it was the Communist revolution in Cuba that really put Honduras on the map. In the 1960s, many Cuban cigar makers fled their homeland and arrived in Honduras to re-establish their way of life. The immigrants took advantage of the climate, soil, and geography, which were well-suited to tobacco growing, and began producing high quality cigars. The center of the Honduran cigar industry is the city of Danli and the nearby Jamastran Valley. The majority of the world’s pure Corojo tobacco is grown here, now that Cuba has stopped production of this iconic, spicy, and rich variety in favor of Corojo hybrids. Other important areas of Honduran cigar production include the Talanga Valley, Copan, and Trojes.
