The ancestry of know-how: Alec & Bradley Gatekeeper Gordo
An invitation to a journey to the heart of Dominican excellence, the Alec & Bradley Gatekeeper Gordo cigar is the fruit of an iconic collaboration with master torcedor Ernesto Perez-Carillo. Each cigar is a testament to a shared commitment to quality and finesse, true to the traditions of the Dominican Republic's seasoned artisans.
The slender silhouette of this Gordo, with its 152mm length and 23.62mm diameter, promises an extended, contemplative moment. Its robust, precise construction guarantees a harmonious draw, essential to appreciate the richness of the carefully selected tobacco blend.
An equatorial veil around a Dominican heart
Wrapped in a deep chocolate Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper, Gatekeeper Gordo is a prelude to the depth of its flavors. The wrapper's smooth, slightly oily surface reveals its refinement and the care taken in maturing and fermenting it.
The alliance of terroirs, expressed through tobacco leaves of sorted origin, gives the cigar a balanced aromatic palette, revealing woody notes mingled with the intensity of cocoa and punctuated by accents of leather.
An assertive character with controlled power
The strength of Gatekeeper lies in its carefully balanced, medium-intensity classification. It will appeal to both the connoisseur looking for a complex aromatic profile and the connoisseur looking for an experience that is defined without being overpowering.
Tasting time, ideally between 80 and 100 minutes, is an invitation to relax and reflect. Each puff is a celebration of time, a precious commodity fundamental to cigar culture.
A shared heritage, a shared expertise
Ernesto Perez-Carillo's expertise permeates every step in the design of the Gatekeeper Gordo, from the meticulous selection of leaves to their artful assembly. His guidance in this adventure reflects a transmission of knowledge and an aspiration for perfection.
The result is a cigar that embodies the union of two visions, an alliance exemplified by a quality that transcends borders and generations of torcedors.
A captivating allure, a promise of flavours
The Gatekeeper Gordo presents itself with a nobility that immediately catches the eye. Its construction is a silent show of precision, while its packaging speaks of tradition and assurance.
Like its creators, this cigar doesn't just seduce. It is committed to offering a coherent, refined experience, where each print echoes the history and soul of the Ecuadorian and Dominican terroirs.
