The highly anticipated 3rd cigar line release from Second Generation Cigarmakers Alec and Bradley Rubin is heading to tobacconists worldwide, starting this week.
The Alec & Bradley Kintsugi was first announced in March 2020 for release around the 2020 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) trade show in Las Vegas. Subsequently, Covid-19 concerns and shutdowns paused the Kintsugi production and forced the cancelation of the 2020 PCA show.
Since then, Kintsugi’s release date has been closely followed by enthusiasts, tobacconists and the media. An update came in July, when Alec & Bradley announced that Kintsugi would officially be offered for pre-order to tobacconists for a late 2020 delivery. The wait is finally over and Kintsugi is on the move to tobacconists globally!
Kintsugi is expressed in four popular vitolas:
- Corona Gorda (5 5/8″ x 46) – MSRP $7.25
- Robusto (5” x 50) – MSRP $7.95
- Toro (6” x 52) – MSRP $8.80
- Gordo (6” x 60) – MSRP $9.85
MSRP is per cigar before any applicable taxes.
Alec & Bradley Kintsugi is being presented in 24-count boxes, adorned with a golden filled-in crack pattern. The bands and inside box labels take styling cues from traditional Japanese themes and artwork. Kintsugi is being produced at Alec Bradley’s critically acclaimed Raices Cubanas Factory in Danli, Honduras.
