Nowadays, it seems production trumps artistry. In premium cigars, though, artisans still produce everything by hand- a process that hasn’t changed in hundreds of years. I get nostalgic about the days when a large majority of products were made with care, by hand. Prensado Lost Art pays homage to those times. Every Prensado Lost Art is traditionally rolled “entubado”- with each filler leaf rolled for perfect air flow. The cigars are semi-pressed and finished with a traditional triple cap.
Prensado means a lot to me and the Alec Bradley story. Rolled at Raices Cubanas (‘Cuban Roots’) factory, the Prensado was first created to pay homage to the Cuban traditions of cigar making rolling the filler ‘entuba-do,’ triple capping the head and box pressing the finished cigar. Blended with proprietary estate grown corojo from the Trojes region of Honduras, Prensado would eventually be named Cigar Aficionado “Cigar of the Year,” propelling Alec Bradley’s trajectory into cigar culture much quicker than I anticipated. – Alan Rubin
The Alec Bradley Prensado , made at the superb Raices Cubanas factory in Danlí, Honduras, is as gorgeous a cigar as you’ll ever see, with a picture-perfect head and a stunning wrapper. But it is the flavor that makes it a classic smoke. The Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos come together to create leather, chocolate and spice, building to a long, lush finish
