Alec Bradley

Alan Rubin founded Alec Bradley in 1996 and named the brand after his sons, Alec and Bradley. The company's own account emphasizes work with growers, blenders, and cigar makers as it developed its portfolio. Current official listings include Prensado, Black Market, Gatekeeper, and Tempus. These are different cigar lines, so the particular blend and size matter more than a single flavor description attached to the brand as a whole.

A family name

The brand bears the names of founder Alan Rubin's sons. Its official history gives 1996 as its beginning and describes its development through practical learning and collaboration with people across the cigar trade.

Distinct cigar lines

Black Market, Prensado, Gatekeeper, and Tempus appear in the official portfolio. Their origins, strength, and flavor should not be assumed identical simply because they share the Alec Bradley name.
