Cigar News: Alec Bradley Announces 10 Year Anniversary Fine & Rare Set

Alec Bradley is celebrating the 10 Year Anniversary of the Fine & Rare by offer a set of previous releases in 2020. Total production for this release is only 500 boxes.

The original Fine & Rate came about from Alec Bradley Cigar Co. founder, Alan Rubin, trying to create a cigar using 10 different tobaccos. The resulting cigar was said to be so hard to make, only 1 pair of torcedors (1 Roller and 1 Buncher) were allow to roll them. Since then, there have been 5 iterations of the blend, some have been released more than once. The cigars included in this are said to have been aging since the last time they were rolled, meaning these are not a new production. These cigars have some age on them.

“I'm really excited to be able to present the Fine & Rare 10 Year Anniversary set,” Alan said. “I went through all of the different iterations and chose the vintages that had the best overall flavor development and performance. Fine & Rare is an ever-evolving concept and leaving batches to age and re-release adds another dimension to the complexity of the project.”
