INTENSE & EVOLUTIVE.
COFFEE, EARTH AND
BLACK PEPPER.
The XX Aniversario is rolled in a
wrapper leaf grown in the Jalapa
Valley region, Nicaragua, and aged
for four years. It is sold in 20-count
boxes, and it celebrates the 20th
Anniversary of the brand.
The cigar is intense and balanced.
The flavor profile is broad, and the
evolution is marked. It boasts a distinct
harmony.
It develops notes of coffee, earth,
black pepper, and piquant peaks.
The spices are the protagonist without
being overwhelming. In the
second half, a rich cocoa vein enriched
the flavor profile.
GREATLY BALANCED.
WOOD, LEATHER,
AND SPICES.
The Double Broadleaf is the third
release in the Alec Bradley Experimental
Series. The name comes
from the use of Honduran-grown
Connecticut-seed Broadleaf leaves,
one used as the wrapper and one as
one of the binders.
The Double Broadleaf Robusto delivers
a great balance. The flavor profile
is savory and fulfilling, well blended
around the Broadleaf tobaccos.
The first part brings earth aromas
to the palate, seasoned wood, roasted
notes, and a touch of leather.
The second part adds a rich peppery
vein with balsamic herbs.
