Alec Bradley Cigar Company has announced that the Limited Edition, Black Market Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole and Filthy Hooligan Shamrock cigars will be returning to tobacconists’ shelves on or around February 18, 2022.
Alec Bradley began pre-selling the 2000 box production and 1500 box production of the twenty-four count Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole and 10-count Filthy Hooligan Shamrock cigars, respectively, in August 2021 to tobacconists worldwide. Both production runs sold out immediately.
Alec Bradley founder, Alan Rubin states:
“We love using ‘first grow’ candela wrapper in different combinations. The double wrapped Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole and the tri-wrapper Filthy Hooligan Shamrock have great sweetness, complexity and balance. Our candela has really unique flavor characteristics which enthusiasts seek out in our annual releases.”
Black Market Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole was introduced in 2016 and Black Market Filthy Hooligan Shamrock was introduced in 2019. Both cigars spotlight premium, ‘first grow’ bright green candela wrapper tobacco, representing the arrival of the spring season.
The dual-wrapper Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole receives an additional lush, cocoa colored Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf to add richness and balance to the blend. The candela leaf on Filthy Hooligan Shamrock is accentuated by Nicaraguan Habano Maduro and Habano Natural wrappers for additional complexity throughout the smoking experience. The wrapper combinations are set atop the same blend of Ecuadorian binder and Panamanian & Honduran fillers, shared with the original Alec Bradley Black Market. Both cigars are presented in the 6″ X 50 ring gauge, Toro shape.
Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole is packaged in an attractive green and black striped box containing 24 cigars and will retail for $11.15 per cigar.
Filthy Hooligan Shamrock is displayed in an alluring grey box, featuring a large shamrock on the top of the lid, containing 10 cigars and will retail for $13.25 per cigar.
Tobacconists lucky enough to secure an allotment will begin receiving the cigars on or around February 18. Both Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole and Black Market Filthy Hooligan Shamrock are produced at Tobacos De Oriente, Danli, Honduras.
