“It has more body and more spice than the American Classic,” said Sam Phillips, vice president of marketing for Alec Bradley, which is based in Dania, Florida. “It has a darker element to it. It’s a nice little spice bomb.”
The Alec Bradley American Sun Grown Blend will have a Nicaraguan core of Estelí and Condega filler tobaccos and a Jalapa binder, the same as found on the Alec Bradley American Classic. But instead of a Honduran Connecticut seed wrapper, American Sun Grown will wear a sun-grown Habano leaf from the Jalapa region of Nicaragua, making them Nicaraguan puros. The Sun Grown cigars are being rolled at Plasencia Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua.
