Alec Bradley Black Market Gordo - Box of 24

The widest format in Black Market's four-country blend. At 6 x 60, the Gordo wraps a Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf, cured to a dark, shimmering Colorado Maduro patina, around an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, with filler tobacco combining Honduran Jamastran Valley leaf and rarer Panamanian long-fillers, all handmade in Danlí, Honduras since the line's 2011 debut.

At 60 ring gauge, the burn slows down considerably compared to the narrower Robusto or Toro, giving the blend's signature combination of earth, black pepper, licorice, leather, and cream more room and more time to fully develop before the smoke settles into its final third. Cedar, cocoa, and coffee notes that reviewers consistently cite across the Black Market lineup have a longer arc to unfold here, and the wider format tends to produce a cooler, denser smoke that suits founder Alan Rubin's original vision for a rich, layered, Cubanesque smoking experience.

This is the size for smokers who already appreciate what Black Market delivers and want to spend real, extended time with it, an afternoon with no particular schedule, or an evening where the full complexity of this blend, earthy, spiced, and consistently praised for its construction quality, can be given the room it deserves. As with the rest of the line, the medium body stays approachable throughout even at this larger scale, delivering genuine depth without tipping into an overwhelming intensity.

Flavor progression:

1. Opening: cedar and earthiness lead the way, with black pepper and a touch of spice building gradually at this wider ring gauge
2. Mid-smoke: cocoa, coffee, and licorice develop steadily across a longer, cooler burn, leather and cream rounding out the core profile
3. Close: the earthy, spiced character holds through an extended final third, the medium body staying consistent to the last draws
