For the fourth year in a row, Alec Bradley is releasing the Black Market Filthy Hooligan for Saint Patrick’s Day. This year however, sees the first major change to the release by going with a barber pole wrapper that uses Honduran Candela alongside a dark Nicaraguan Jalapa to create the contrasting green and brown spiral design. Alan Rubin, president of Alec Bradley, had this to say about the wrapper change: The unique flavor of a candela wrapper is something that every cigar smoker should experience at least once. Add the dark Jalapa wrapper, and it’s not only more flavorful, but the barber pole form can also be very appealing, visually. When it comes to just a green cigar, we’ve been there, done that. Lining up the previous releases together, you do see that there is lots of “been there, done that” with this release, with the only noticeable changes being release numbers up until this year.
