Not sure if it\u2019s the wave to tradition or the way the tobacco is experienced but either way- it\u2019s special. Alec Bradley knows it too. That\u2019s why the Prensado is such an exciting companion to their collection of cigars. Literally meaning \u201cbox-pressed&#8221; in Spanish, the Prensado\u2019s inspiration springs from a rare Corojo 2006 wrapper grown in Trojes, Honduras, located right next to the Nicaraguan border. And as the words of Marcus Valerius Martial so eloquently convey, \u201crarity gives a charm; so early fruits and winter roses are the most prized.&#8221;  Therefore, the filler, binder, and subsequently the blend thereof, had to be perfection.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Alan Rubin, president of Alec Bradley<\/strong>, finally went with the strong flavors of <strong>Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos<\/strong> with an amazing Nicaraguan binder. This masterpiece took over six months to create and Alan notes his ascendancy over time as one of many perks to being a smaller brand. In an interview with Smoke Magazine he states, \u201cBoutique companies are becoming successful because we don\u2019t have time constraints.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The result the Prensado delivers is immeasurable. The robust essence of the Nicaraguan tobacco, when combined with the added intricate complexity of the Honduran filler, then finally finished with the crescendo of this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\">cigar<\/a> &#8211; the Corojo \u201806 wrapper- offers, unselfishly, a complex, flavorful, and strong smoke with an unexpected delicate, natural sweetness. It\u2019s Alec Bradley\u2019s most full bodied smoke to date. Well done.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>You can try this amazing cigar by visiting any one of Emerson\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\/storefront\/listProducts.aspx?idcategory=779\">cigars<\/a> five brick and mortars in the Hampton Roads area or by visiting them online at<br \/>\nemersonscigars.com<\/strong><\/em><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Emerson&#8217;s Cigars<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s nothing like a well-constructed box-pressed cigar.
