Black Market

3.9★★★★★3.9· 103 ratingsMedium-Full

A superb release from Alec Bradley, Black Market was launched at the 2011 IPCPR tradeshow (a festival for industry geeks). This 4-country blend is jam-packed with Jamastran, Honduras and Panamanian long-fillers, capped off by a lively Sumatra binder and powerful Nicaraguan wrapper leaf. Upon first lighting, the blend burns with purpose. Unique and satisfying arrays of flavors greet your palate, as spice, pepper, and peaty undertones finish the ensemble. With a long dry finish, and slow burn, the Black Market cigar is a finger burner. Alec Bradley Black Market received a well-deserved 90-rating, noting: "A thick log of a cigar with a full, even draw. Herbal notes of juniper become sweet and cedary, taking on touches of nut and candied orange peel."

    Lange rooktijd. Begin zeer zacht van smaak, op het laatste toch wat heviger.

    Incepe full bodied. Piper mult. Ramane in gat. Se trage cu un pic de rezistenta. Fum mediu. Se transfoma pe la jumate in medium bodied. Foarte placut. Arde foarte incet. Burn time 1h15min (mai erau 10-15 min minimum). Nota 8.5/10

    Appearance: The large label is eye catching and alluring. The deep, natural looking wrapper seems masculine. Although the when I opened up the large band it was covered in white dust. It was also not the easiest to take off. Smell : Cocoa. Leather. Spicy. Initial : smooth. Creamy. Easy draw. No spice. Leather quality. Second : builds to a dense smoke. Light spice with low tingle. Stays smooth and easy to pull. Ashes easily at inches.

    robust and little harsh first 1/3, mellowed a little 2nd and 3rd
  • @senator632016-03-13 · Back Porch
    Medium bold flavor. Good long ash. Rolled too tight. Hard to drawl. Will try again and hope for a better outcome.
