The Prensado Gran Belicoso was developed in early 2019 throughout a retreat Alec Bradley held for its whole United States personnel in Central America. Based upon the acclaimed Prensado mix, the sophisticated 5 1/2 ″ X 56 ring-gauge Gran Belicoso was restricted to an overall production run of 1300 ten-count boxes, never ever to be made once again.
In 2021 Jason Faulkenburg got in touch with Alec Bradley Director of Sales & Marketing, Jonathan Lipson, with hopes to commission the Prensado Gran Belicoso for Ash Quarterly’s continuous assistance of Cigars For Warriors. Alec Bradley Founder, Alan Rubin, consented to the task, as Cigars For Warriors is a company near and dear to his heart. Just 2200 cigars were produced and will be included at Ash Quarterly’s occasion on July 2, 2022, at Executive Cigar Lounge in Sanford, Florida, where customers will have the capability to contribute and acquire Prensado Gran Belicoso cigars straight to Cigars For Warriors. Extra cigars will be readily available in-store at both the Sanford and Melbourne places of Executive Cigar Shop and Lounge, along with online through ashquarterly.com.
“We’re honored that Jason chose Alec Bradley to make a cigar benefiting our brave men and women overseas,” Mr. Rubin said. “We generally don’t reissue single-run limited editions, but the cause was too compelling for me to say no.”
Together With Ash Quarterly and Cigars For Warriors, Mr. Lipson will be onsite at the occasion to provide the Prensado Gran Belicoso on behalf of Alec Bradley.
Jason Faulkenburg, Founder of Ash Quarterly, had this to state about the job:“Cigars For Warriors is
such an amazing charity that provides a moment of normalcy to our troops stationed in combat zones overseas. We are honored to be able to help provide cigars to these men and women. We have donated one cigar for each Rating Club pack we sell since shortly after we launched in 2018, but we wanted to do something special this year. That’s when I approached Alec Bradley about creating something special for them and they didn’t hesitate to come on board. We couldn’t be happier with the blend they chose and how fantastic these cigars came out. We are even more excited to donate more than 50% of the cigars produced.”
Storm Boen, CEO of Cigars For Warriors, provided this statement:
“We here at CFW are very honored to be able to work with Alec Bradley, who has always been generous to our troops. Working with the Faulkenburgs and Ash Quarterly has been a true pleasure to work with since the first time we met years ago, with immediate support. They have shown what true support of the military means. Absolutely great magazine, and even better people running it!”
