Wabi Sabi Joins the Alec Bradley Kintsugi Lineup

Alec Bradley has officially announced its latest limited-edition release: Kintsugi Wabi Sabi. This new blend builds on the legacy of the highly rated Kintsugi cigar, channeling the Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi; the idea that beauty can be found in imperfection, authenticity, and the passage of time.

Crafted by renowned blender AJ Fernandez at his factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, Wabi Sabi offers a thoughtful and refined smoking experience that stays true to the spirit of Kintsugi while exploring new creative ground.

Wabi Sabi Blend Breakdown

Kintsugi Wabi Sabi features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Mexican binder and a selection of Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The result is a medium to medium-plus cigar that balances richness and nuance, delivering layered complexity with an easygoing feel.

“This blend is about appreciating the real,” said Bradley Rubin, Brand Ambassador for Alec Bradley. “Wabi Sabi isn’t about flaws, it’s about honoring the character of the materials and the story they tell. We didn’t set out to chase perfection. We set out to create a cigar with soul, and what we found was something greater than the sum of its parts.”

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
