The name “American” might be a little misleading because the premium Alec Bradley American Sun Grown cigars do not contain any (United States) American tobacco. However, Alan Rubin, describes the American Classic as a smoke ‘people are happy to pick up.’ He wanted to create an everyday Tampa style cigar. Like the original American Classic cigar, the Alec Bradley American Sun Grown is a Nicaraguan puro that features a hearty blend of Nicaraguan binder and long fillers, only this time, to ramp-up the strength, Alan covers these top-quality leaves with a gorgeous sun-grown, well-aged Habano wrapper. What results is an invigorating, medium-bodied smoke with luscious flavors of chocolate, coffee, and leather, accented with subtle red pepper tones. The combination of the Alec Bradley American Classic and the Alec Bradley American Sun Grown provides a nice morning and afternoon cigar combination.
