Ft. Lauderdale, FL (09/09/2019)

Alec Bradley Cigars announced today that 1500 boxes of the critically acclaimed Nica Puro Diamond Rough-Cut, which the company has completely sold out, are on their way to tobacconists worldwide. First unveiled in 2014, the Alec Bradley Nica Puro Diamond Rough-Cut has become a perennial fan favorite.

The diamond shaped cigar is unique to Alec Bradley and is sought out by enthusiasts across the globe. A limited edition version of Alec Bradley's Nica Puro line, the Nica Puro Diamond Rough-Cut has not only caught the attention of consumers and tobacconists, but has become a media darling, receiving the coveted 'Humidor Selection' tag and 91 rating by Cigar Insider in June of 2018. Nica Puro Diamond Rough-Cut was also nominated for "Best Cigar Nicaragua 2018" on June 30, 2018 by Cigar Journal.

Nica Puro Diamond Rough-Cut is a 6 1/4" X 54-ring gauge cigar crafted from all-Nicaraguan tobaccos. Outside of the shape, the cigar is differentiated from the rest of the line by adding an extra leaf of ligero for added body and flavor. 

“The Nica Puro blend is smoking incredibly right now,” said Alan Rubin, founder of Alec Bradley Cigar Co. “Enthusiasts and tobacconists ask for the Nica Puro Diamond all year round, but the cigars aren’t easy to make. Due to the unique shape we only have the ability to produce 1500 boxes per run, so it’s an exciting time at Alec Bradley when we have the opportunity to present Diamonds to our fans.”

The Alec Bradley Nica Puro Diamond Rough-Cut was an idea hatched at Plasencia Cigars in Nicaragua to pay homage to the triangular shaped Alec Bradley Trilogy cigar line Alan created so many years ago. The innovative shape shook the cigar industry and got Alec Bradley Cigars in the mouths of enthusiasts, both literally and figuratively.

Alan describes Nica Puro Diamond Rough Cut as well balanced with a bold flavor, distinct richness and natural sweetness.

“The blend represents my take on a Nicaraguan puro,” Alan continued. “Nica Puro, in general, and the Nica Puro Diamond Rough-Cut are must tries for Nicaraguan cigar lovers!”

Only 1500 boxes of Nica Puro Diamond Rough-Cut will be distributed worldwide and will be available at participating Alec Bradley retailers. Alec Bradley Nica Puro Diamond Rough-Cut is shipping now. Nica Puro Diamond Rough-Cut is available in a 16-count box. Retail has been set domestically at $9.38 per cigar before any applicable taxes.
