Cigar Contest Winners: Gotham Heroes Alec Bradley Robusto From Gotham Cigars

This is going to be a short post with the winners of the Gotham Heroes Alec Bradley Robusto From Gotham Cigars. I’m waiting for some more info about some new cigars I smoked this week so I can bring you my thoughts on them, hopefully I’ll have that for you tomorrow. For tonight, We have two winners to announce from last weeks contest. The goodies that these two folks will win are five packs of the Gotham Heroes Alec Bradley Robustos, along with some other Gotham items, generously provided by Manny and Stephanie at Gotham Cigars. As you will recall, I really enjoyed these, so much so that I voted with my wallet and bought some. They are still reasonably priced at $19.99 per five pack, and I highly recommend them. The winners, as selected by the random number generator at Random.org are George and Chris m! Please send me your addresses or I’ll track you down if I don’t hear from you!

Than you all for entering and stay tuned for the next giveaway, whatever that might be (they are always good, aren’t they?). Until the next time,

Wednesday Cigar Contest: Gotham Heroes Alec Bradley Robusto From Gotham Cigars

Two weeks ago I published a review of the Gotham Heroes Alec Bradley Robusto, and I really liked the cigars. As a result, many of you purchased the cigars at their introductory price, and I’m looking forward to hearing how people liked them. It makes me feel a little anxious when I convince people to open their wallets. If it makes you feel better, I bought a couple of fivers of them myself, so I voted with my wallet too. Once again, the cigars are 5″ x 50 Nicaraguan puro, with a sun-grown Jalapa wrapper, a double binder from Jalapa and Esteli, and filers from Condega and Jalapa. It’s medium to full and has lots of sweet tobacco flavor. I just smoked another tonight and was equally impressed. Anyway, the folks at Gotham Cigars have offered to sponsor today’s cigar giveaway!

The rules are the same as always, leave a comment here, must be over 18. Two winners chosen at random next Wednesday, will receive a five pack of the Gotham Heroes Alec Bradley Robusto along with a Gotham Cutter and matches. Many thanks to Stephanie and Manny at Gotham Cigars for today’s giveaway!

On another note, listen to Kiss My Ash Radio Saturday, there may be someone familiar appearing in their “Bloggers Corner” segment. That’s it for now, until the next time,

Gotham Heroes Alec Bradley Robusto From Gotham Cigars

Tonight’s featured cigar is a great bargain cigar from Gotham Cigars, an internet retailer that’s been around for quite a long time. I was thinking they were around since the early ’00s, and I look at their website and saw 2001, so I managed to remember something I guess. I’ve made purchases from them in the past and they went well. They recently presented their Gotham Heroes series, starting out with this great cigar made by Alec Bradley, the Gotham Heroes Alec Bradley Robusto. I smoked a couple of these this week and was greatly impressed. This is a 5″ x 50 robusto with a dark Nicaraguan wrapper, with Nicaraguan binder and fillers as well. This was another cigar that I smoked early in the week and was happy to smoke again, and it’s a rare thing when I smoke the same cigar twice in a row. In addition to the rich, dark hot cocoa flavors, there was a unique spice there too, as well as an almost toasty flavor. The two samples I smoked also burned well, one with a punch cut, and one with a regular straight cut. I like these enough that I may take advantage of the introductory offer they have, an unbeatable $9.99 for a five pack, with shipping included. I’m sure this isn’t the regular price, because $2 a piece is just too inexpensive for what you get in return. This is a tasty, well-behaved cigar at twice the price, and is right up there with my favorite cigars from Alec Bradley.
