The Alec Bradley journey began way back in the 1990’s with a humble Connecticut Shade cigar, blended for palates of the era, leading the charge. Alec Bradley Connecticut Gigante pays homage to that cigar by combining yesteryear’s Connecticut shade nuances with slightly bolder Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos. Mellow-medium bodied, the Alec Bradley Connecticut is the Connecticut Shade for the modern era.
