Alec Bradley is adding a new vitola to their Black Market line, a 4 1/2 x 42 Petit Corona called ‘Punk’ that becomes the smallest size in the series.

According to a report by Cigar Aficionado, the Alec Bradley Black Market Punk is slated to hit retailers’ shelves between March 10 – 15 and will come with a suggested price of $5.65 per cigar. Like the rest of the Black Market, the Punk will be shipped in 22-count boxes. With the addition of the Punk, the Alec Bradley Black Market portfolio looks like this:

  • Punk – 4 1/2 x 42
  • Robusto – 5 1/4 x 52
  • Toro – 6 x 50
  • Churchill – 7 x 50
  • Torpedo – 6 1/8 x 54
  • Gordo – 6 x 60

Alec Bradley also recently announced the Black Market Filthy Hooligan, a limited production candela that is being released ahead of St. Patrick’s Day.

The Black Market is made at Tabacos de Oriente in Danli, Honduras. It made its debut at the 2011 IPCPR trade show.

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 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.
