Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole Toro

There are two things that make Alec Bradley's Filthy Hooligan series unique: the limited edition status of the series, and the use of Candela wrapper leaf mixed as part of the spiralling "barber pole" exterior. 

With just a few thousand boxes made per year - usually for release around St. Patrick's Day - Filthy Hooligan cigars can be hard to get a hold of. The Candela (green) leaf can be tricky to produce, given that the curing process is quite different from standard shade/sungrown leaf, requiring an environment of up to 165°F temperatures to lock the chloraphyll in place. The Candela leaf also gives the Filthy Hooligan a 'throwback' quality, as green cigars were once the most common type on the continent, and only started to become scarce in the early 1980's.

The Candela, in tandem with a Maduro wrapper and Sumatran binder, serves to create an unusual complexity in this blend. The Candela imparts a sharp lemongrass flavour, the Maduro serves up notes of leather and cocoa, and the Sumatran binder touches the palate with a hint of cinnamon. This Toro is considered medium-bodied and smokes for upwards of 75 minutes.
