Alec Bradley Cigar Company announced the presale of its upcoming US exclusive release- Reclaimed, a Limited Edition 7-count sampler presented in real factory-worn cigar molds emblazoned with the Alec Bradley Reclaimed logo. Only 800 individually numbered, highly collectible Reclaimed sets, containing one, 6 1/4″ x 54 ring-gauge, Figurado iteration each of Black Market, Medalist, Prensado, Magic Toast, Maxx, Gatekeeper, and Tempus will be sold. The sets are scheduled to arrive at Alec Bradley appointed US tobacconists, ahead of the holiday season.
“Reclaimed epitomizes the creative nature of Alec Bradley, the cigar culture, and tobacciana,” said Alec Bradley Director of Sales & Marketing Jonathan Lipson. “Each individually numbered Reclaimed factory-worn cigar mold is unique, and the ultra-limited cigars enclosed are exclusive to the sampler. Reclaimed provides our brand advocates the opportunity to experience premium cigar history.” To begin the project, the company ‘reclaimed’ eight hundred antiquated cigar molds, ultimately saving them from obsolescence and destruction. Each upcycled mold is unique in source, wear, and size. To safely hold the seven Figurados, a rectangular cigar slot was carefully routed into the center of each mold. The dimensions thereof are universal across all Reclaimed samplers to protect the structural integrity of even the smallest mold in the lot. “These 800 cigar molds may have reached the end of their manufacturing process lifecycle, but their usefulness and novelty have yet to expire,” said Second Generation Cigarmaker Bradley Rubin. “Repurposing them to house limited edition cigars is a fun way to bring a little piece of the factory to our customers and enhance the overall smoking experience.” MSRP before any applicable excise or sales tax will be $79.95 per each individually numbered set. All cigars created for Reclaimed were produced at their respective and original factories of origin – Raices Cubanas, Danli, Honduras: Prensado, Magic Toast, and Tempus / Tobacos de Oriente, Danli, Honduras: Black Market, Medalist, Maxx, and Gatekeeper.
