Alec Bradley is expanding its Chunk lineup with the introduction of the new “Chunk Shade,” a mellow-to-medium bodied cigar built in the same short, wide format as its predecessor, the Chunk Maduro. The release marks a shift in profile, trading the Maduro’s intensity for a smoother, more laid-back smoking experience.
Crafted in Danlí, Honduras at the HATSA factory, the Chunk Shade features a Honduran-grown Connecticut wrapper, a U.S. Broadleaf binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua. According to the company, the blend delivers flavors of tea leaves, hay, and toast, with what they describe as “massive smoke output.”
“Chunk Shade is a fun and approachable cigar that rounds out the Chunk series in a big way,” said Bradley Rubin, brand ambassador for Alec Bradley. “Fans love the short, wide format of Maduro, and with Shade we’re giving them the same bold shape but with a smooth, mellow profile that’s perfect for relaxing any time.”
The Chunk Shade will be offered in three short, large-ring vitolas:
- XL (4 x 60) – $5.99 SRP
- 3XL (4 x 66) – $7.69 SRP
- 4XL (4 x 80) – $8.49 SRP
The cigars ship in boxes of 20 for the XL and 3XL sizes, while the 4XL will come in boxes of 18. Retailers can expect shipments to begin July 1.
