Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro 05.50

Cigar Aficionado · Oct 1, 2021

An inky-hued robusto with a round head and excellent draw. The smoke calls to mind a brownie with its fudgy notes of dark chocolate and walnut, but also layers the palate with elements of leather, coconut and earth before a finish that smacks of black licorice.

In 2019 Alec Bradley launched its Experimental Series line and its first cigar known as the Alec Bradley Project 40. It would be a change of pace cigar for a couple of reasons. First, it would become the first Alec Bradley Cigar to come out of Jesus Fuego’s factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Fuego is […] Key flavors: Cocoa, Earth, Dried Fruit, Cedar, White Pepper, Baker’s Spice.

I am always a bit leery of new blends that do nothing more than change out a wrapper on an existing cigar in order to make a different creation, and that feeling was only accentuated by the fact that I really enjoyed the Project 40 quite a bit. What I found was a profile that was not nearly as sweet nor as complex as its predecessor, but one that was still quite enjoyable in a number of ways. That includes a dominant dark chocolate and cedar combination in the profile as well as the construction, which was absolutely fantastic with a close to perfect draw and a burn line that very rarely wavered from a straight line on each of the three samples I smoked. In the end, while I did not like the Project 40 Maduro as much as the original release, Alec Bradley has done a great job of giving fans two distinct flavor profiles to choose from, both of which carry a very attractive price point.

The Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro 5.50 is a solid offering and more memorable to me than the original Project 40. It is a nice and enjoyable blend that is affordable and approachable as well. It is not overly complex, but it delivers a decent profile from start to finish.
