Alec Bradley Prensado
Wrapper: Trojes, Honduras
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Trojes, Honduras and Nicaragua
Made In Danali, Honduras – Raices Cubanas
Price: $9.75 per single
Appearance & Construction: The Alec Bradley Prensado is a nice boxed pressed cigar. The wrapper is a medium brown color and has some medium sized veins. One thing I always notice with box pressed cigars is that the veins always look terrible. The press mashes them down and they look like crap, but who cares about looks…
Smoking Characteristics: The cigar has a nice even draw to this cigar that produces a ton of thick smoke. The burn is nice and even the ash holds on for a decent amount of time. The body of this cigar is medium to full while the strength is just medium.
Flavor: The first inch or so of the Alec Bradley Prensado is pretty flat and lacks flavor. All I was getting out this cigar was a natural tobacco taste until about the inch mark where some nice woody flavors picked up. I also get some coffee, mixed nuts and leather out of this cigar. The second third is much of the same as is the final third but all in all this was a pretty tasty cigar.
Final Thoughts: Unfortunately I only had one of these cigars to review and the lull at the beginning was a turn off for me. However, I would still smoke this cigar regardless of that lull. I liked the flavors of this cigar and if that lull goes away in the beginning, I think this is a cigar that I could see myself smoking a lot of. Defiantly not an everyday cigar but a once a week or once a month type cigar.
Worth a Shot: Yes
Buy Again: Yes
Enjoyablity: Medium to High

Nice review Adam. I have a few of these on the way, and I’m excited to try them.
I was anxious when I 1st read this was full bodied. It seems they are not and now I may pass!? Mainly it’s tough for me to put alec bradley and 10 buks in same category. Nice review!
