Alec & Bradley Kintsugi Corona Gorda
46
Tasting Note
The Rubin brothers, sons of Alec Bradley founder Alan, have adopted the esthetic of an Eastern art form and applied it to cigars for a high-minded brand called Alec & Bradley Kintsugi. Kintsugi is a Japanese art dating back to the 15th century that places emphasis on imperfection—broken pottery is shattered and then repaired with gold or silver thus highlighting the cracks and bringing a new form. With this concept in mind, the Rubins created Kintsugi as a metaphor for the cigar industry, which they believe is fragmented. Unbroken, however, is the clear rendition of flavor that’s so artfully conveyed by the corona gorda: dried fruit, cinnamon, espresso bean and hazelnut come together for a complete picture.
