Gatekeeper

Alec Bradley has long been known for producing standout cigars, but Gatekeeper represents a new chapter for the brand. Created by Alec and Bradley Rubin, this blend showcases the next generation’s take on high-quality craftsmanship, signaling their arrival as serious contributors to the family tradition.

The blend pairs an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. The result is a refined, medium-to-full profile layered with flavors of cedar, roasted nuts, and a touch of leather, all delivered with the reliable construction associated with the factory behind many of Alec Bradley’s top releases.

Gatekeeper feels like a passing of the torch — a cigar shaped by experience, elevated by fresh perspective, and executed with impressive precision.

And in recognition of its impact, Gatekeeper earned a 95-point rating and secured the #7 spot on Cigar Aficionado’s 2020 Top 25 list.
