Turn up the power and boldness with Black Market Vandal.
Alec Bradley cigars come from industry legend Alan Rubin, a man who certainly knows his way around a tobacco leaf. The blends are balanced, smooth, unique, and complex, thanks to the superior blending skills of the maker. We're not the only ones who think so. The line boasts a plethora of ‘90' or higher ratings, including the ‘94' rated, #5 Cigar of 2017, Tempus and the ‘96' rated Prensado.
Alec Bradley Black Market Vandal includes the same 4-country blend of long-fillers topped off with a Sumatra binder, just like its predecessor. The sultry Nicaraguan wrapper will also look familiar. The difference is located in the already excellent filler mix. There's a secret, undisclosed, yet ultra-powerful leaf has been added to ratchet the entire experience up a notch. Spicy, peppery notes invade your palate while still managing to exhibit enough restraint to remain smooth and pleasant. If you're a fan of Black Market, or of full-bodied cigars in general, Black Market Vandal is a must-try.

Great cigar
Aug 12, 2019
Love AB, they really improved on the already awesome black market, the cigar starts of strong with full bodied flavors like chocolate and woods with a spicy pepper finish. Then it mellows out in flavor but keeps the strength all the way through. Only giving four stars because a few sticks out of my ten had construction issues i/e rolled to tight or burned badly

Apr 05, 2018
I love the full flavor of this cigar. I also love the fact that it burns slow and produces a strong fine white ash. These are indications of a fine cigar. I was leery of buying these because I've tried other Alec Bradley cigars that I did not enjoy. These cigars are definitely a wholly different animal. I love them and would recommend them to anyone who wants an enjoyable smoke.

Smooth with bold ending
Oct 15, 2017
When you first lite it, my experience was a blend of earth ,leather cream. As I continued threw the cigar the complexity became more full and the flavors more apparent. 2/3 then the cigar then I knew this was a well balance stick. Construction is very good, I would think most will enjoy it.

This one is a keeper.
Dec 23, 2016
Smoke my first one after only 1 day in humidor. Considering that I really enjoyed this cigar. It took about an inch into it and a little massage to get it to open up and from then on draw and even burn for rest of smoke. Plenty of flavor and pleasant after taste. Amongst the typical flavors it has a flavor that I only rarely come across not sure how to describe it but I really like it. So in that sense it has a uniqueness is nice to find. I recommend this one for sure. And looking forward to see how it improves with some more humidor time.

The black Vandal Toro is a nice step up. The cigar is a full body-full flavored smoke. The cigar has a woody and earthy flavor to it. I enjoyed the cigar. I would buy this cigar again.

Simply put, I consider this one of the great ones. Superior to the original Black Market which I liked. It's a just-right spicy, tasty, strong, and richly satisfying smoke. What's unusual is that although I generally like something less full-bodied in the morning, this feels like a fine cup of dark, lightly-flavored coffee- energizing, enjoyable, and not at all overpowering. At night, it's, well, even better. This has instantly become one of my top favorites. My only regret is I didn't purchase more when they were on sale!
