The Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro is a line extension to the Project 40 brand. Whereas the first release featured a Nicaraguan Colorado wrapper, this iteration sports a dark chocolatey Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper. The Project 40 brand was inspired by the motivational tenet that everyone is in control of their happiness. Alec Bradley founder, Alan Rubin believes that this principle can be applied to cigars. The Project 40 brand’s goal is to enrich a positive experience through the act of smoking a high-quality cigar at an affordable price.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
Strength

Medium
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican San Andres Maduro
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.
Binder
Brazil
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Brazil grows tobacco from North to South. The East Central State of Bahia is an important cigar tobacco producer. The growing area is about 100 miles west of the state capital, Salvador da Bahia, an active port on the Atlantic Coast. The Northern State of Alagoas hosts a production around the city of Arapiraca where maduro wrappers are grown. The Southern states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina produce tobacco for cigarettes and pipe.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
J. Fuego Cigar Company
For more than a century, the Fuego family has been involved in the tobacco industry. They got their start as a tobacco leaf growing company in Cuba. In the mid-nineties, the family migrated to Central America. In 2006, Jesus Fuego established Tabacos S.A. and released the J. Fuego brand. The company is dedicated to producing cigars that appeal to a wide range of cigar smokers. The Origen (Originals), 777 Zero, and the Sangre de Toro are some of J. Fuego’s more popular lines.

It goes toe to toe with $10 cigars but you save.

Stephen L.10/14/2024About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Score: 90 Red pepper. Leather. Chocolate. Cedar. Pepper receded the 2nd half. Fantastic draw, burn, construction and smoke output. Light grey stacked ash. Attractive price point.

Wade M.07/01/2024About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro 6" * 52

Found a very flavorful Maduro here. San Andres wrapper with a great blend. Project Forty is supposed to be blended with the idea that helps mindfulness and tranquility. I have to say I did seem more at ease then usual for my 2 hr meditative smoke. The flavor was wonderful. some sweet richness of fruit and chocolate. Not much spice at all. Profile kept its core as flavors changed thru the smoke. Definitely on my list to get again.

Cary S. K.05/22/2024About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro 6" * 52

A good smoke at a reasonable price

nice smooth cigar

Charles W.08/21/2023About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Not very impressed with this one. Looked great, draw was almost perfect, but it had a bad aftertaste. I kept going to see if the flavor profile would change and it did not.

Matthew R.08/17/2023About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro 6" * 52

Nice

Michael B.04/24/2023About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Gordo 6" * 60

I liked the aroma and flavor of this cigar just fine. What I didn't like was the uneven burn right from the start that needed constant attention to keep in check.

Michael S.03/20/2023About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Gordo 6" * 60

Great value cigar, with smooth draw and burn. Aroma is good and taste is as expected in a value Alec Bradly cigar.

Rod P.01/02/2023About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Gordo 6" * 60

For the price, this cigar really delivers on draw, burn, aroma, & taste! I bought two a while back & both were outstanding smokes! I gave it only 3 stars for appearance due to the bland band… but it’s definitely an ideal “everyday” cigar!

Kazumi Y.12/20/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

A beautiful smoke with fantastic flavor and aroma

Donald R.11/03/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Make sure you like Brazilian tobacco. If not, stay away. I'm not a fan but had to try. This one is not for me. Burn, draw smoke all excellent though.

Hyungsang y.10/29/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Gordo 6" * 60

James E.09/18/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Very nice cigar. Good value for the money.

Hector A.09/16/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Gordo 6" * 60

I had really high expectations for this stick and it fell flat right from the moment it was lit. The one thing that drives me insane is a weak draw. Sucking on this stick nearly gave me a back ache!!! Flavors are extremely mild, if at all noticeable. I didn't get the Project 50 experience at all because I was struggling to enjoy this sucker. Sorry Alan. This ain't it bub.

Luis S.09/03/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Gordo 6" * 60

It have a good flavor. Rig was loose inside the cellophane and wrapper was kind of dry and started to peel of as I cut the cap, making a bit of a messy experience.

Josh C.09/01/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Pretty good cigar.

Alejandro A.08/13/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro 6" * 52

One of the best cigars under $7 in the market. Rich and sweet flavors

Andrew W.06/13/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

It’s not just a great value smoke, it’s a great smoke; period! Always with an even burn and great draw, this has become my everyday smoke. I’d highly recommend.

Great smoking cigar, really like the project 40.

Dave S.06/01/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Good but not heavy enough for me

Robert M.05/26/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro 6" * 52

Excellent choice. Tastes close to a regular project 40. Great stick 10/10

Scott N.05/22/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Sid L.03/18/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro 6" * 52

I really enjoyed this cigar. Very smooth from beginning to the NOT bitter end. It was mild, and quite tasty. Not something I would crave on a regular basis. This where Neptune excels. You can buy one or more when you want.

Reid B.02/05/2022About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Pre-light aroma is earthy and barnyard. Medium strength, very toasty. A bit drying on the palate, great construction and burn. Fairly mild cigar with not a lot of flavor for me.

Fritz B.12/06/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Gordo 6" * 60

Too mild for my taste.

T. B.11/30/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Wayne H.05/02/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Gordo 6" * 60

Great looking cigar. Burn was a little uneven but not a problem, draw was okay and a good aroma. Taste started out quite mild and unimpressive but really kicked in on the last third.

Much better than the natural Project 40. Not as full as I was expecting. Would entertain buying a box.

Super smooth medium body Maduro

Francisco T.03/09/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro 6" * 52

Probably one of the few Alec Bradley's I can say I like and would willingly buy multiples of, much better than the regular Project 40.

Bedros Nadjarian03/08/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Michael H.02/27/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Very solid smoke. I liked the original but this is even better. Very enjoyable.

Chris P.02/23/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro 6" * 52

Very average cigar. Tight draw and not much in the way of flavor.

Jon C.02/23/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro 6" * 52

Good construction and enjoyable flavor although not the most complex or exciting. I would buy again.

Frank B.02/19/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

A decent budget smoke. The burn and draw were very good with tons of smoke. Flavor notes were, chocolate, coffee, and earth. They weren’t the most refined flavors but for under six bucks they were good. The final third got a bit harsh.

George P.02/17/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Gordo 6" * 60

Alan Rubin, the founder of Alec Bradley, states that a person's happiness is broken down into 3 different categories. 50% comes from genetics. 10% is based on circumstances. The remaining 40% is controlled by a person's thinking process. That is how the name for this cigar came to be. What first caught my eye on this cigar was the handsome dark wrapper. At first light, you are introduced to a nice flavor of earthy tones and cedar, with a subtle hint of spice also underlying. The San Andreas wrapper and Brazilian Habano binder gives you that great taste that makes the cigar rich and enjoyable. It has a nice medium strength at the start. At the halfway point of the cigar, a nice hint of coffee makes itself known, with the original flavors still present. Towards the end of the cigar, the strength does go up a bit, and if you ask me, it remains perfectly balanced. Some hints of pepper come into play, but not overwhelming in the least. It compliments all the flavors that are still present. This is one project that will be great for you to take on. Enjoy.

Guy N.02/13/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro 6" * 52

I’m glad Alec Bradley gave this brand a Maduro. Love it.

Ivon02/12/2021About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Surprisingly flavorful, complex on the bold (full flavoor less strength) yet smooth. Didn't like the first half (tight draw), not too sweet but enjoyed i

Great flavor profile, definitely a great addition to this line.

Chris M.12/21/2020About: Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

I bought a box based on how much I liked the value and quality of the original Project 40 natural, and I'm super happy I did because these are bursting with flavor. This is another winner for Alec Bradley and certainly a contender for best bargain cigar of the year again. Rich aromatics, beautiful appearance, a perfect snug amount of resistance on the draw, and all for an amazing price. I'll give 5 stars as my way to say "Yes, try it!".
