Alec Bradley Prensado Lost Art Torpedo

91 points, Cigar Aficionado

The Alec Bradley Prensado Lost Art series is an elevated version of the original Prensado line. It features a unique twist on the blend, incorporating two binders instead of the typical one, hailing from both Honduras and Nicaragua, resulting in a more intricate and layered flavour profile.

The Lost Art series by Alec Bradley pays homage to the traditional craftsmanship of the past, where everything was made by hand. The Prensado Lost Art cigars are meticulously crafted with the "entubado" rolling technique, ensuring that each filler leaf is individually rolled to perfection, promoting optimal airflow and a smooth draw. The cigars are also semi-pressed and finished with a classic triple cap, delivering a sophisticated appearance.

A medium to full-bodied experience, bursting with expressions of crushed coffee bean, cinnamon and cocoa notes. Gradually flowing through with intense notes of spiciness yet underlaid with flavours of earth and leather. Rounding off with a beautiful lingering finish, that entices the palate to want more.
