Alec Bradley Fine & Rare: BC-(13)4EV 2021

Unveiling the epitome of cigar mastery.

Alec Bradley has long been synonymous with innovation and excellence in the world of cigars, and their Fine & Rare series stands as a testament to this reputation. Among their most exceptional releases is the Fine & Rare BC-(13)4EV – 2021, a blend that has captivated enthusiasts since its debut.

Since its inception in 2011 the Fine & Rare series has consistently impressed with its intricate blends. The 2021 edition continues this legacy by featuring not one, but two distinct cigars in the same box. The main offering, the Fine and Rare BC-(13)4EV, is complemented by a singular cigar named BC-(13)4EV-B, housed in its own coffin. This special cigar commemorates the 11th year of the Fine & Rare series.

The packaging of the Fine & Rare BC-(13)4EV – 2021 is as distinctive as its blend. Each cigar is adorned with a band packed with information, including the unique cigar code (BC-(13)4EV), the original rolling date (between Aug. 2 and Aug. 8, 2020), the release date (Nov. 18, 2021), and details about production quantity and personnel signatures.

The special inclusion of the BC-(13)4EV-B adds a symbolic touch to this release. Encased in its own coffin, this Churchill cigar is crafted with a Honduran criollo 98 wrapper, dual binders from Honduras and Nicaragua, and a blend of seven filler tobaccos from both regions. Like its counterparts in the Fine & Rare line, it was expertly rolled at the Raíces Cubanas factory in Honduras.

The Fine and Rare BC-(13)4EV is a masterpiece of flavor complexity. Upon lighting, it delivers a burst of spice and pepper that quickly gives way to nuanced flavors of tea leaves and cloves. The second third reveals a harmonious blend of creamy cedar, earthiness, leather, cocoa nibs, almonds, and citrus peel. Construction-wise, the draw and smoke production are impeccable.

As the cigar progresses, the black pepper and marshmallow sweetness intensify on the retrohale. The flavor remains full-bodied, with a strength that reaches a satisfying midpoint between medium and full in the final third.

For Alec Bradley, the Fine & Rare BC-(13)4EV – 2021 is more than just a cigar—it's a masterpiece crafted with precision and passion. With only 2,500 boxes produced, each 11-count box holds a treasure trove of flavor waiting to be discovered by enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of cigar craftsmanship.
