The Gatekeeper was the second release of the brand Alec Bradley honouring the blender of this series, Ernesto Perez-Carillo Jr, “Ernesto is a gatekeeper to new opportunities and experiences for us”. Ernesto supported this blend production with his high level of expertise and extensive knowledge, offering deep insights into cigar production.

Beautifully blended with perfectly aged tobaccos from three origins, Nicaragua, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic, wrapped in an oily reddish brown Ecuadorian Habano Maduro wrapper. Opening with notes of cedar, nuts and creamy sweetness underlined with a beautiful pepper spiciness. Laced with leather flavours and earthy notes, a sensation like no other.
