This medium-strength stick offers notes of cedar, nuts and tobacco sweetness. Its Ecuadorian Habano maduro wrapper sheathes a Nicaraguan binder and a Dominican Republic and Nicaraguan filler. The Alec & Bradley Gatekeeper Gordo is expertly hand crafted at the Tabacalera La Alianza, which is owned and operated by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo in the Dominican Republic.
