The Alec Bradley Prensado Corona Gorda is the cigar you think of when you think of cigars. Big in the hand, bold in the flavour, and classic in the construction.

The debate on ‘flavour notes’ aside, this cigar properly tastes like leather from start to finish with this molassesey liquorice aftertaste that’s as rugged and manly as it is smooth, with a light peppery spice that gradually sneaks up through the cigar as you progress through it.

Medium bodied, smooth as silk and with a beautifully easy draw, allowing you to effortlessly bring thick plumes of smoke into your mouth, this is a proper cigar. And if you're after a nicotine kick, this one definitely has enough to keep you going.

The Alec Bradley Prensado Corona Gorda put the brand on the map by winning cigar Cigar Aficionado’s cigar of the year in 2011 ranking 96/100. 

For less than 20 quid you can try the single best cigar produced in the entire year of 2011, gotta be worth a try at least right?
