Alec Bradley American Sungrown Gordo - Box of 24

The widest format in American Sungrown's bolder reinvention of the American Classic recipe. At 6 x 60, the Gordo wraps a dark, coffee bean colored Nicaraguan Sun-Grown Habano leaf around the same Nicaraguan Jalapa binder and Estelí-Condega filler blend found across the line, rolled at Plasencia Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua.

At 60 ring gauge, the burn slows down considerably compared to the narrower Robusto or Toro, giving the medium to full-bodied blend, more spice, more darkness, and more presence than the milder American Classic wrapper it descended from, more room and more time to fully develop before the smoke settles into its final third. The signature combination reviewers consistently cite across this line, nuts, toffee, earth, and cedar with a smooth, sweet finish, has a longer arc to unfold here, with complex spice balanced against that unexpected apple-sweetness that keeps the profile from ever becoming heavy or one-dimensional.

As a genuine Nicaraguan puro, wrapper, binder, and filler all sourced from Nicaragua, this Gordo carries the same 91-point recognition from Cigar Aficionado found across the rest of the American Sungrown line. This is the size for smokers who already appreciate what this bolder, darker take on American Classic delivers and want to spend real, extended time with it, an afternoon or evening with no particular rush, letting the thick, chocolatey, earthy smoke and its underlying nutty, peppery character fully develop across a genuinely long session.

Flavor progression:

1. Opening: dark, oily wrapper delivering earthy, chocolatey smoke, nutty and peppery character building gradually at this wider ring gauge
2. Mid-smoke: toffee and cedar develop steadily across a longer, cooler burn, complex spice balancing against an unexpected apple-sweetness
3. Close: a slight savory sweetness settles into an extended finish, the medium to full body staying consistent through the final draws
