Description
Alec Bradley Gatekeeper is the first creation from the company founder’s sons, Alec and Bradley Rubin. To begin with, Alec Bradley is a family company launching in 1996 by Alan Rubin. Today, they manufacture some of the world’s highest critically acclaimed premium cigars. Producing over 10 million cigars a year places them as one of world’s top cigar makers. The company was recently purchased by Altadis USA to become part of their Forged Cigar unit.
With attention to detail, this very impressive cigar is a collaboration between the Rubin brothers and industry veteran Ernesto Perez-Carrillo who makes the cigar in the Dominican Republic. With an astounding score of 95, Cigar Aficionado describes it perfectly. ” The Gatekeeper finds synergy and balance with its backbone of pepper (both red and black), nougat and caramel that’s spicy in the right places, sweet in the right places and pops with savory snaps of leather. ” Becoming their #7 cigar of the year didn’t hurt either!
Still not convinced? With Blind Man’s Puff @ 94, Cigar Coop @ 90 and Cigar Dojo @ 90, what more do you need to know about this masterfully blended medium body cigar? No doubt the Rubin brothers will no longer be considered “rookies” moving forward.
To sum up, Alec Bradley Gatekeeper is available in 4 popular sizes of 24 count boxes
