DANIA, FL - October 14, 2008 - Just in time for the Holiday gift-buying
season, Alec Bradley Cigars (www.alecbradley.com)
is releasing their highly-acclaimed Tempus cigar selection in a luxurious,
five-cigar gift collection. Scheduled to arrive at cigar stores in early
November, 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."
