Founded by Alan Rubin in 1997, Alec Bradley Cigars has become synonymous with consistently high-rated, award-winning blends. Superstition reflects Rubin’s belief that quality craftsmanship—not secret formulas—creates exceptional cigars. This handmade Torpedo is produced in Honduras using Cuban-seed long-fillers from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua, bound with Sumatra and finished with a Nicaraguan Habano Jalapa wrapper.
Expect a complex profile featuring espresso, leather, roasted nuts, and a touch of spice on the finish. Well-balanced and engaging from start to finish, Superstition delivers depth without overpowering the palate. Pair with Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter for a complementary roast-driven pairing.
Though tobacco is indigenous to Hispaniola, the tobacco industry in the Dominican Republic existed in the shadow of Cuba’s dominance through the 1960s. When the exodus of Cuban cigar makers began in the wake of the revolution, many decided the Dominican Republic would be ideal for the resumption of their livelihoods. Unrest in Nicaragua in the 1980s fueled the Dominican cigar industry further. The country now makes more than half of the premium cigars imported into the U.S.
The Cibao Valley and the nearby city of Santiago are the center of cigar production in the Dominican Republic. Three main varieties are grown here: the mild and native Olor Dominicano; the intense Piloto Cubano, brought from the Vuelta Abajo of Cuba; and San Vicente, a milder and more acidic Piloto hybrid. Dominican puros were once unheard of as it was widely thought impossible to grow quality wrapper leaf on the island, but new growing techniques are now allowing some exceptional puros to be produced.
