Cigar Aficionado

Cigar smokers intrigued by the teased and then unveiled at last Summer’s IPR trade show in Las Vegas, will begin shipping to tobacconists this week. 

Magic Toast was rolled with a Honduran wrapper over two binder leafs from Nicaragua and Honduras. The filler tobacco was also grown in Nicaragua and Honduras. The cigars come in three sizes: Robusto, at 5 inches by 52 ring gauge ($8.95); Toro, at 6 by 52 ($9.50); and Gordo, 6 by 60 ($10.25).

According to Alec Bradley owner Alan Rubin, Magic Toast is a medium- to full-bodied smoke with a slight, natural sweetness. The new brand was made at the Fabrica de Tabacos Raices Cubanas in Danlí, Honduras, where many Alec Bradley cigars are produced.
