Alec Bradley Cigars

In 1998, with the cigar boom in decline and the industry struggling to survive, Alan Rubin and Ralph Montero, who had only known each other for a few months, decided to join forces to create their first cigar together: Occidental Reserve. The response proved that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that pushed them to continue to develop cigars that themselves, and others, have been excited to smoke. Today, Alec Bradley (names after Alan's children) is one of the biggest names on the market, with top notch lines like the Project 40, Prensado, and more garnering numerous awards over the last decade.
