Alec Bradley Cigars in the UK?

[watson1890]

Does anyone know where Alec Bradley cigars can be purchased from in the UK? I have looked around but I can't seem to find a retailer that stocks them.

Hi and welcome. I'm not sure myself tbh, can't see any. Anyone else know?

Thanks for your reply Deano. It's strange as they seem to be a popular brand.

this is taken from the jjfox news letter-

ive only had the one (the churchill) it was a decent smoke, i would have rated it higher but for a few draw and burn issues.
ill defo be giving them a go again.

I've had the Churchill, it's very good, but the Corona Gorda can be excellent.

Thanks for all your comments, I just hope I will be able to try some of the Alec Bradley lines soon.

If you stick around and post, you'll find people willing to trade with you etc.

Reality Check!

Greetings senor Watson, and welcome to the show. Always good to have knewbees with a different perspective join us. Lord knows some of the so-called aficionados around these parts, or as I like to call them - puro snobs, could learn a thing or two from our NC brothers. So when you have a moment, why don't you head on over to the Newbie Greets forum and tell us a little bit about yourself. Click Here!

Regarding the Alex Bradley line, I recommend that you keep your expectations in check. I've had the opportunity to try several of these sticks, including the Prensado Churchill voted Cigar of the Year by CA. To be honest, I found them to be kinda' Meh!

Personally, I prefer the No. 2 cigar - the La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Belicoso. I find it to be far superior to the Alex Bradley.

But what the hell do I know!
