Alec Bradley Fine and Rare BCN-143 7" * 50

When Alec Bradley decided to make a new cigar using 10 leaves of tobacco in one single cigar, he gave the task to the most experienced rollers at the Raices Cubanas factory in Honduras. This was the beginning of the Alec Bradley Fine and Rare, a cigar that has more tobacco packed into it than any other regular cigar. The cigar features a Honduran Trojes wrapper leaf, a double binder of Honduran and Nicaraguan leaves, and seven long-filler tobaccos. The first Alec Bradley Fine and Rare was released in 2011.

This large corona is traditionally 7*48. Length can vary from 6 3/4 to 7 7/8 inches by 46 to 50 ring.

A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

This cigar is 7 inches long, or 177.8 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Honduras, a Central American country which shares a border with Nicaragua, is widely known in the premium cigar industry as the ideal place to grow Cuban and Connecticut seed tobaccos. Danli and the Jamastran Valley is considered the heart of Honduras’ cigar industry. The Jamastran Valley is known for producing a full-bodied tobacco that draws strong comparisons to the tobacco grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba. This same region is also known for its Connecticut shade grown and Corojo shade grown tobacco. In addition, Honduras produces Cuban-seed sun grown filler tobaccos of the highest quality.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 50, so his diameter is 50/64 inches or 19.81 mm.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

Raices Cubanas, aka Fabrica de Tabacos Raices Cubanas S. de R.L., is a premium cigar manufacturer that was founded in 1974 by Hugo Endemano. Located in Honduras, this family owned-and-operated factory produces cigars for well-known brands such as Alec Bradley, Illusione, Padilla, Di Fazio Cigars Corp, and Viaje.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Criollo tobacco was originally developed for filler, but was found to be tasty as a wrapper when shade-grown. Criollo means "native" in Spanish. This tobacco originated in Cuba but is now being cultivated in other countries as seeds have been smuggled out of Cuba.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar and bind the filler tobaccos together. Honduran tobacco is known for being full-bodied. Cigars produced in Honduras are regarded for their consistency and quality. Using Honduran tobacco as a binder will add to the cigar’s overall strength and flavor profile.

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
