PCA 2025: Alec Bradley

After a one-year absence, 2025 marked a return of Alec Bradley to the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. Alec Bradley was not at the 2024 Trade Show because partner company STG decided to alternate between the brands of General and Forged, and 2024 was a year for General. It was odd not seeing Alec Bradley at the Trade Show, as they had been a staple of PCA/IPCPR Trade Shows for as long as I can remember. Therefore, seeing Alec Bradley back at the Trade Show was great. Overall, this was quite an exciting year for Alec Bradley as they have a new line coming out of a different factory for the brand. At the same time, they announced expansions to one of their most successful lines, Black Market.

Do Not Disturb

The new Connecticut Shade offering is the Alec Bradley Do Not Disturb (DND). The cigar is designed to be enjoyed as a solo escape or during a leisurely conversation with family and friends. Do Not Disturb is produced from Hostos Quesada’s Tabacalera La Isla in the Dominican Republic.

Do Not Disturb features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Dominican Criollo binder. The fillers are a mix of Dominican and Mexican tobaccos. Do Not Disturb comes in three sizes (Robusto, Toro, and Gordo) in 16-count boxes. Pricing ranges from $8.39 to $9.49 SRP.

I love the Do Not Disturb door hanger included in the box!

Black Market

Black Market, one of Alec Bradley’s most successful brands, gets a couple of new offerings.

First up, there are the Alec Bradley Smalls. Black Market Smalls is a new 4.18 x 36 offering that will be sold in six-count tins. While the regular size Black Market comes out of Tabacos de Oriente in Honduras, this one comes out of an undisclosed factory in the Dominican Republic.

Second up is a new Black Market Toro Tube offering. Black Market Tubes is a 6 1/2 x 52 Toro-sized offering. The Toro Tube is slightly larger than the 6 x 50 Toro, which is not available in tube packaging. The Tubes are packaged in ten-count boxes.
