Continuing from the limited Edition Black Market blend series comes the Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Toro. Alec Bradley's Black Market range is highly sought-after in the world of cigars, primarily due to its unique blend of fillers that include premium Honduran tobacco - a defining feature of the Alec Bradley brand - in addition to tobacco from Panama. These fillers are expertly combined with an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, culminating in a dark, oily Nicaraguan wrapper.

Hand rolled at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Estelí, the country’s epicentre for handmade cigars. The Esteli Toro is draped in a dark and oily Nicaraguan wrapper, encasing filler and binders from Nicaragua and Honduras regions.

This offers the senses a bold balance of pepper, earth and cocoa with an aroma of sweetness and coffee. The construction gives the user a smooth effortless even draw while delivering a satisfying and thick smoke, perfect with an evening pairing. With its high-quality construction, well-balanced flavour profile, the Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Toro is a great choice for both novice and experienced cigar users alike.
