Forged Cigar Company has announced the Alec Bradley Chunk Maduro line. The “Chunk” was a short, thick vitola in the Alec Bradley portfolio for many years. Alec Bradley has built an all-new line inspired by the Chunk vitola.
Chunk is a 4 x 60 cigar size that has been featured in various Alec Bradley lines like Magic Toast, Double Broadleaf, and Gatekeeper. The new Alec Bradley Chunk Maduro line has branded the 4 x 60 size as XL. Additionally, there are four other sizes, each in a short, thick format: L (3 x 58), 2XL (4 x 64 Torpedo), 3XL (4 x 66), and 4XL (4 x 80). The L and 2XL sizes are limited edition.
As for the blend, it features a Mexican Maduro and a Honduran Jamastran binder. The fillers are a combination of Dominican Piloto and Estelí fillers. Production comes from the HATSA factory in Danlí, Honduras. The Chunk Maduro comes in 20-count boxes, except for the 4XL, which comes in 18-count boxes.
In a press release, Alec Bradley Senior Brand Manager Ed Lahmann said, “The Chunk frontmark has become a signature Alec Bradley size, and now we’re pleased to unveil a full-time line dedicated to these hefty smokes.
