Tabachaze Alec Bradley Experimental Double Broadleaf Cigar Robusto 5 x 50

The Alec Bradley Experimental Double Broadleaf Robusto is a technical exploration of tobacco leaf application. Measuring 5 inches in length with a 50-ring gauge, this cigar is constructed to address common combustion inconsistencies found in standard single-wrapper configurations.

Structural Engineering and Construction: The primary feature of this cigar is the application of two distinct Connecticut Broadleaf wrappers. This dual-layer approach is designed to reinforce the outer structure of the cigar, which assists in maintaining a controlled burn line and prevents premature wrapper unraveling during handling. The increased density of the dual-leaf construction provides a tactile firmness that ensures the cigar retains its shape from the initial light to the final third.

Combustion and Draw Characteristics: The 5 x 50 Robusto format is selected for its utility in balancing airflow and heat dissipation. The internal filler blend is calibrated to complement the thicker, oil-rich broadleaf wrappers, facilitating a steady draw that minimizes the need for frequent relighting. By utilizing specific leaf positioning, the construction promotes a consistent ash retention, which serves as a thermal insulator to keep the combustion temperature within an optimal range.
