A Cigar of the Year blend, in about an hour. Prensado means pressed, and the Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto (5 x 50) shares its recipe with the Prensado Churchill, Cigar Aficionado's 2011 Cigar of the Year (96).
A dark Honduran Corojo wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan filler, box-pressed and made in Honduras. Full-bodied, with espresso, dark chocolate and leather, finishing sweet and spicy. About 55 minutes, a Power Hour™ smoke on the Burn Clock.
The box press packs the filler tight, so the draw is firm and the burn is slow, which means this robusto lasts longer than you would guess. The Corojo leaf is where that spicy finish comes from. Have closer to 70 minutes? Reach for the Prensado Torpedo. Have an hour? You are holding the right cigar.
A single malt, a bold red or an espresso. Boxes of 24. Explore more Corojo cigars and full-bodied cigars.
