# Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Review #14

Black Market Esteli Robusto

This was sneaky good. I recently smoked the Black Market with less than a stellar experience, and was expecting something similar. It stands on it's own - for sure. By Gindy on June 24 2025 9:46:51 AM

Black Market Esteli Robusto

This was sneaky good.

I recently smoked the Black Market with less than a stellar experience, and was expecting something similar.

It stands on it's own - for sure.

The flavors had the earthy, leathery notes and something else that danced around throughout the smoking time.

The first third had me thinking 'yeah, it's ok' - then the second third I was thinking 'yeah, I think I like it' - then the third third I was using a dang nub holder to finish it off before I burned my lips.

It was a hearty full profile cigar that paired well with a nice bourbon.
