Alec Bradley Announces American Sun Grown
In Volume 2 of their Red Badge Report, Alec Bradley formally announced one of their newest cigars, the American Sun Grown. The e-mail, sent out Wednesday, says that the cigar will be out in the next few weeks.
The cigar is described as similar to the American Classic, though the Nicaraguan Habano Jalapa wrapper is said to deliver “a little more body and spice” than the Honduran Connecticut that is used on the American Classic. MSRP is said to be around $5 per cigar.
News of the cigar started surfacing in March when George Sosa, VP of Sales for Alec Bradley, did a video interview with Emerson’s Cigars that mentioned this cigar, as well as several other projects including the 2012 edition of the Fine & Rare and a new line of It’s a Boy / It’s a Girl cigars.
Sizes for the American Sun Grown have not been announced yet, though the American Classic is currently offered in six vitolas: Corona, Toro, Robusto, Churchill, Torpedo and Gordo.
The e-mail also suggested that a “massive giveaway” of the new cigar could be happening in the coming weeks via the Alec Bradley Facebook and Twitter pages.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
