Prensado Corona Gorda Cigar (5.6 x 46)

Indicative of this cigar's box press, the Alec Bradley Prensado literally translates to "pressed" in Spanish, and its founder Alan Rubin's homage to traditional Cuban cigar-making practices — most notably rolling the filler entubado, triple-capping the head, and box-pressing the completed cigar. The Prensado's wrapper acts as this cigars focal point, being a proprietary Corojo leaf grown in the Trojes region of Honduras. Inside, then, are Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers, offering a smooth and buttery flavor profile of rich nuance that earned the Prensado Cigar Aficionado's 2011 Cigar of the Year award.
