DANIA, FL – April 8, 2009 - Alec Bradley Cigars, makers of the highly-acclaimed
Tempus and
Maxx cigar selections, has been invited by Mercedes-Benz to enhance the luxury car maker's overall brand experience at the golf world's most prestigious tournament, which is held annually in Augusta, GA.
As the tournament gets underway this week, Mercedes-Benz will be entertaining their top dealers and customers from all over the U.S. including their international clientele.
Keeping with their tradition of providing only the highest level of accommodations, entertainment, food, spirits, and premium cigars, to their guests, Mercedes Benz requested that Alec Bradley Cigars and company president, Alan Rubin, attend this event.
"I was thrilled," said Mr. Rubin. "To work with a world-class car maker like Mercedes Benz at such a high-profile golf event will help call attention to our fine lines of premium handmade cigars by a very special audience."
Rubin added that he will be providing Alec Bradley Tempus and Occidental Reserve Cigars to the guests. In its vertical tasting of the full-bodied Alec Bradley Tempus cigar selection, Cigar Insider awarded the Tempus Centuria a "94" ("Outstanding") tasting score in their May 20, 2008 issue justified by the following remarks:
"Dark and attractive with an effortless draw, this cigar produces a rich, semisweet smoke, leaving balanced impressions of wood and nuts. Big, delicious flavor."
For those who prefer a milder and more medium-bodied smoke, the Occidental Reserve selections are true gems, and the cigars that put the Alec Bradley name on the lips of premium cigar smokers worldwide. Two exquisite blends, Occidental Reserve Connecticut and Occidental Reserve Double Broadleaf were created by Hendrik Kelner, one of the true masters of the art of tobacco blending. The Connecticut provide a rich, creamy smoke with notes of sweet cedar, while the Double Broadleaf Maduro is woody, and semi-sweet with notes of spice on the finish.
"Occidental Reserve is also a very popular cigar with golfers, while the Tempus is perfect for relaxing with after a fine meal," added Mr. Rubin. "Between our two companies, I believe we have a perfect fit, and we'll be doing everything we possibly can to help make Mercedes' valuable customers as welcome as possible."
