Review of Alec Bradley DND CigarsBy: Gary Manelski Alec Bradley Do Not Disturb cigars are made in the Dominican Republic with an Ecuadorian Connectict wrapper, Dominican binder, and a blend of Dominican and Mexican filler tobaccos. These cigars were released in June 2025 and are available in three sizes. This is a review of the Toro size.
The sample Alec Bradley Do Not Disturb Toro began with a few sour notes that quickly faded, giving way to the taste of white bread and hay. The smoke was mild-to-medium bodied and remained within that range for the duration of the smoking session. I ashed the cigar for the first time after 20 minutes, and a relight was needed shortly thereafter. After another 20 minutes, I ashed the cigar for the second time as the sour notes briefly returned and again quickly faded. A second relight was needed five minutes later. I ashed the cigar for a third and final time at the 55-minute mark, and then the cigar went out by itself 10 minutes after that, ending the smoking session. It took me 65 minutes to smoke the sample Alec Bradley Toro down to 1½ inches remaining. During that time, the cigar had a great draw, held a long ash, and maintained an even burn that did not require any touch-ups, despite the need for a couple of relights. The flavor of white bread and hay was pretty much consistent throughout the smoking session, except for some brief sour notes along the way. Alec Bradley Do Not Disturb cigars are decent smokes that would be a good choice for newer cigar smokers. They are unassuming mild-to-medium cigars that are far from being overpowering. I rate them with a respectable 3.5 points on a 5-point scale. Disclosure: Review samples were provided by the manufacturer. |
