For starters, Cigar Aficionado rates this blend an astounding score of 93 naming it in their top 10 cigars of the year. Their review describes it best. ” It’s earthy and leathery with sweet, concentrated undertones of raisins and cocoa. The draw is flawless, delivering a weighty, substantial smoke to the palate, which speaks to the cigar’s excellent construction and fine tobacco. ”
Without doubt, this medium to full bodied Esteli blend gives you more of what you love about the Original Black Market.
To sum up, Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli is available in 6 popular sizes of 24 count boxes
