New Cigar Arrival: Alec Bradley Fine & Rare Returns as a Parejo for 2018 at all 3 locations of Nottingham Cigars & Pipes in Edmonton Area.

Right in time for Christmas as a nice Stocking Stuffer.

Quoting Alain Rubin, Fine & Rare is an ever evolving project. It is a concept more than a cigar. Fine & Rare has been seen in many different formats since the project began. I play with different tobaccos and different crop years to create this 10 leaf masterpiece. I always need to let the blend dictate the size and shape of Fine & Rare in any given year. For 2018, Alec Bradley is proud to present 2500 boxes of the second iteration of Fine & Rare JRS10 = (86).

Since 2011, the company has released small quantities of its most complicated cigar blend, rolled in different shapes with Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos from various regions and crop years. This year, Fine & Rare returns to cigar shops in a form called JRS10 = (86), a size that first appeared in 2015.

JRS10 = (86) measures 6 1/2 inches by 56 ring gauge. This year, the company is calling the size Gran Toro. The parejo is made with a Honduran wrapper from Trojes draped over a double binder from Nicaragua and Honduras, with a variety of Nicaraguan and Honduran filler tobaccos.
Alec Bradley Fine & Rare is rolled at the Raices Cubanas Factory in Danlí, Honduras.

The cigar, ships in eye-catching boxes that hold 10 cigars and are designed to look like zebra wood. Only 2,500 boxes were released.

“Fine & Rare is an ever-evolving project,” Alec Bradley brand owner Alan Rubin said. “It is a concept more than a cigar. Fine & Rare has been a double figurado, it has been a torpedo and a parejo.”

A special cigar to share with friends and family- or to find that special moment for yourself to escape.

Just in time for Christmas.!!!! The perk of being a Habanos Specialist.

Habanos Specialist, Nottingham Cigars & Pipes have received a small shipment of Bolívar Soberano (54 ring gauge x 140 mm long). This is one of Edicion Limitada for 2018 and is presented in a special case of 10 cigars. Soberano is the first launch of the “Duke” vitola de galera, which is totally unprecedented in the brand’s portfolio. This is a strong Habano , allowing the cigar lover to enjoy a balanced and aromatic blend from the brand in a totally novel format.
Habanos Limited Editions are greatly appreciated and cigar enthusiasts await their arrival with great anticipation every year. They are characterized by the fact that their vitolas are not found in the brand’s regular portfolio and they are distinguished by the careful selection of all of the leaves – capa , tripa and capote (wrapper, filler and binder) – which have been aged for a period of not less than 2 years.
All the Habanos that make up the Limited Editions are made in very small quantities and by expert Cuban cigar rollers, who work painstakingly to meet the expectations of the most demanding Habano lovers.

The Bolívar brand was created in 1902 and is named after Simon Bolívar, one of the great figures of the 19th century who passed into history as the liberator of much of South America from Spanish rule. For this reason, and in line with the character of the historical figure that gives it its name, this Habano is characterized by its strong flavour. Without a doubt, Bolívar is one of the strongest brands that make up the Habano universe. ... See MoreSee Less
