Alec Bradley Project 40 Gordo pairs a Brazilian Habano binder with a reddish Nicaraguan wrapper in a substantial 6 x 60 format, delivering layered flavour with medium strength.
Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos complete the blend beneath the Colorado wrapper. The combination brings together tobaccos from Nicaragua and Brazil, giving Project 40 its distinctive blend structure.
Cedar, leather and roasted nut notes form the flavour foundation, with spice adding definition. Creamy sweetness and hints of vanilla provide a softer counterpoint to the woodier, savoury flavours.
Alec Bradley Project 40 Gordo is handmade at the J. Fuego factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, this Gordo is part of Alec Bradley’s Experimental Series. Its 6 inch length and 60 ring gauge offer a broader format for the original Project 40 blend.

I placed these cigars in my humidor, removing the cellophane from them when I purchased them two months ago. The draw was great with plenty of smoke. The burn was okay until I reached the second third of the cigar. At that point it started to canoe, which I tried to fix. I found that there was about half an inch of tobacco that didn’t burn well. Once I got past that part, the burn was okay. Overall, the cigar was nice, and as stated was medium strength.

Decent cigar. A touch of sweetness and overall pleasant. Burn line issues were frequent and somewhat frustrating. The wrapper leaf started to crack at the bottom 1/2 of the 2nd third and continued to the final third. The gordo size is a bit much. I’ve had this in a thinner vitola and found that it was much more pleasant. Would by this again, but only in a shorter and thinner format.
