Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Gordo

Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Gordo is a full-strength 6 x 60 Gordo produced in Nicaragua. Black Market Estelí was created as a bolder Nicaraguan counterpart to the original Black Market, shifting production to Nicaragua and emphasizing heavier tobacco character. Within the portfolio, it is best understood as a full-strength, Nicaraguan-made sequel to the original Black Market.

The tobacco recipe combines a Nicaraguan wrapper over a multi-layer binder combination of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos, with Nicaraguan long-fillers. The line is commonly associated with cocoa, espresso, earth, black pepper and concentrated spice. The 6 x 60 Gordo gives the already robust Estelí blend its highest filler volume in this group. The broad Gordo format increases filler volume and generally favors a cooler, slower burn than a slimmer cigar of similar length.

The underlying blend remains the same across pack sizes, while the Gordo dimensions determine smoking time, wrapper influence and filler volume. With its documented construction, exact 6 x 60 format and Full strength, this presentation gives shoppers a clear basis for comparing the cigar with other Alec Bradley lines and vitolas.
