With every new cigar as successful as the last, American Classic Blend<\/a> follows Alan Rubin\u2019s recipe for success. Inspired by classic Americana, this fantastic cigar has been modestly priced with the intent of offering a premium, high quality product to those faithful smokers who might be on a budget.<\/p>\n

Made in Nicaragua, the American Classic Blend introduces a beautiful Connecticut Shade wrapper that sets the tone for this mild to medium bodied cigar. Flavorful Nicaraguan tobacco from Jalapa comprises the binder while equally distinctive leaves from Estel\u00ed and Condega make up the filler. Because the balance of these tobaccos only hints on the mild side, this is a great opportunity for those lighter smokers to step it up a notch in the strength department.<\/p>\n

The complexity and progression this cigar encompasses is very impressive. American Classic Blend begins with that understated spice among a predominately buttery and sucrose nuttiness. As the ash travels up, the smoke bellows and the draw continues to open. That sweetness becomes background noise as the palate experiences a slight roasting of the prevailing flavors. The final chapter of this story involves the continued maturation of Nicaraguan spice yet never becomes overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Alec Bradley\u2019s American Classic is also alluringly aesthetic. The vibrant band clearly displays that Americana feel with patriotic images and colors so gripping you\u2019ll swear you smell apple pie. And if there\u2019s any misunderstanding of Alan Rubin\u2019s intent, you can find an emblem with George Washington displayed quite heroically inside the box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
