First, there was the Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Hooligan for St. Patrick’s Day; now, there is the Filthy Ghooligan for Halloween. Recently, Forged Cigar Company has been informing retailers about Filthy Ghooligan and today they have formally announced it.
Filthy Ghooligan becomes the latest limited edition release of the Alec Bradley Black Market brand. It joins the Black Market Filthy Hooligan, and Shamrock. The Filthy Ghooligan Halloween release is inspired by the St Patrick’s Day releases.
Like Filthy Hooligan and Shamrock, Filthy Ghooligan features a barber pole wrapper. Unlike the St. Patrick’s Day cigars (which use green Candela tobacco in their wrappers), Filthy Ghooligan’s wrapper is composed of Ecuadorian Habano and US Broadleaf tobacco. The remainder of the blend includes an Indonesian Besuki binder and Nicaraguan Jalapa, Estelí, and Condega fillers alongside Dominican Piloto.
In a press release, Alec Bradley Senior Brand Manager Ed Lahmann said, “Filthy Ghooligan offers our fans a fun new spin on a classic Alec Bradley concept. Just as Black Market Filthy Hooligan and Shamrock have become staples of our St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, so too will Filthy Ghooligan deliver an unforgettable smoking experience for Halloween and beyond. It’s scary good.”
Production for Filthy Ghooligan comes from Honduras and will ship to retailers in September 2024. The cigars come in one size – a 6 x 50 Toro. Filthy Ghooligan comes in 24-count boxes with a total production of 1,500 boxes. Pricing comes in at $14.09 SRP/cigar.
