About the Prensado line
Prensado is the cigar that put Alec Bradley on the map. Rolled at the Raices Cubanas factory in Danli, Honduras, it is a tribute to Old-World, box-pressed craftsmanship: a Honduran Corojo wrapper over Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos, delivering a full, richly balanced profile of pepper, cocoa, cedar and earth. Its Churchill size was crowned Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year in 2011 with a 96-point rating, and the line has since earned multiple Top 25 placements across its other vitolas.
