DANIA, FL - Just in time for the Holidays,
Alec Bradley Cigars has released their highly-acclaimed Tempus cigar selection in a luxurious,
five-cigar gift collection. The cigars are presented in an attractive Spanish
cedar box appointed with the regal-looking Alec Bradley Tempus artwork in the following sizes: Alec Bradley Tempus Genesis (5½" x 42), Terra Novo (5" x 50), Imperator (6 1/8" x 52), Creo (7½" x 41), and the "94" Cigar Aficionado-rated Centuria (7" x 49). A limited release of only 1,000 boxes will be available during the holiday gift-buying season.
"We were looking for a way to offer consumers a high-end gift at an affordable price," said Alec Bradley National Sales Manager, George Sosa. "Most cigar manufacturers put out gift box samplers this time of year, and we wanted to offer something that was a cut above. If you look at the outstanding scores each of the Tempus sizes received, cigar smokers are getting five cigars that have all rated in the top of their class, and that makes for a great experience and an even better gift idea."
Named for the Latin word for "time," Alec Bradley Tempus is manufactured in Honduras using a blend of diverse specially cured and aged Corojo and Criollo long-filler tobaccos grown in the fertile Trojes region of Honduras, and Nicaragua's fertile Jalapa valley, and a stunning, seven-year-aged Honduran Criollo '98-grown wrapper. The cigars offer a hearty, yet remarkably smooth smoke brimming with dark and semi-sweet tobacco flavors laced with notes of cedar, oak, toasted nuts and spice.
In addition to releasing of the five-cigar gift box, Alec Bradley will continue to promote Tempus cigars along with Nespresso coffees at in-store events all over the U.S. throughout the holidays and into 2009.
"These are some of the highest rated cigars in the world," added Sosa. "I'm sure if we can get Tempus cigars into the hands of cigar consumers, we will have an Alec Bradley smoker for life." £
