Alec Bradley has announced that it is expanding its Family Blend with a new series called “The Lineage.” The line is made up of six vitolas all above 52 ring gauge, including three sizes with a ring gauge over 60. The 665 and 770 measure 6 x 65 and 7 x 70, while the gordo measures 6 x 60. Rounding out the line is a 5 1/4 x 52 robusto, 6 x 53 toro and 6 1/8 x 52 torpedo, the lone figurado of the group.
