Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan Shamrock

Forged Cigar Company has announced the release of the 2024 edition of the Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Hooligan and Black Market Filthy Hooligan Shamrock. Both are seasonal releases that go back to the days of Alec Bradley Cigar Company.

The Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Hooligan returns to the days of the Alec Bradley Cigar Company. The cigar made its debut in 2013 as a Candela-wrapped offering. In 2016, the Filthy Hooligan was switched to a barber pole featuring a Honduran Candela and Nicaraguan-wrapped offering. It has remained a barber-pole release since. The 2024 edition marks the 12th annual installment of the Filthy Hooligan.

Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Hooligan Shamrock is a triple-wrapped cigar. In addition to the Candela wrapper, it features Nicaraguan maduro and natural wrapper leaves. The Shamrock was first introduced in 2019, and the 2024 edition marks the sixth annual installment.

Both blends feature the same mix of Ecuadorian binder and Panamanian & Honduran fillers shared with the original Alec Bradley Black Market. These blends are based on the original Alec Bradley Black Market but have been tweaked for the multiple wrapper format.

Each blend comes in a 6 x 50 Toro. The Filthy Hooligan comes packaged in 24-count boxes, while the Shamrock comes packaged in ten-count boxes. There are 5,000 boxes of both the Filthy Hooligan and Shamrock that were produced for this 2024 release. Pricing for the Filthy Hooligan and Shamrock are $12.69 MSRP and $15.09 MSRP respectively.

In a press release, Bradley Rubin, brand ambassador for Alec Bradley cigars, said, “Anticipation continues to build each year for the release of Filthy Hooligan and Filthy Hooligan Shamrock. With their bright green wrappers and fresh herbal notes, these candela smokes offer a great change of pace at a time when spring’s on everyone’s mind. The blends have become part of the cigar community’s annual ritual and we’re pleased that we have once again been able to source the perfect aged candela wrapper to make this year’s release a reality.”

Forged Cigar Company says both blends have begun shipping to retailers who placed pre-orders.
