March Cigar of the Month - Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan

March Cigar of the Month

Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan

Every March, one cigar returns that instantly signals St. Patrick’s Day season — the Filthy Hooligan from Alec Bradley Cigars.

Known for its striking barber-pole wrapper, this limited seasonal release blends two different wrapper leaves into a single cigar, creating both a unique appearance and a layered flavor experience.

At Pirate Cigar at Darkwater Alley, we’re celebrating the season with this fan-favorite cigar as our March Cigar of the Month.

Cigar Construction

Wrapper:
Dual barber-pole wrapper using Candela and Habano leaves

Binder:
Sumatra

Filler:
Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos

Country of Origin:
Honduras

Factory:
Raíces Cubanas

The Candela leaf brings a smooth, slightly grassy sweetness while the darker Habano leaf adds depth and spice. As the cigar burns, the wrapper alternates across the blend, creating subtle shifts in flavor throughout the smoke.

Flavor Profile

Smokers can expect a medium-bodied cigar with a surprisingly balanced profile.

Common tasting notes include:

• Fresh hay and grassy sweetness from the Candela

• Cedar and toasted wood

• Light pepper and baking spice

• Creamy smoke with a smooth finish

• Subtle sweetness on the retrohale

The blend is approachable but still complex enough for experienced smokers looking for something seasonal and different.

A Perfect Pairing at the Lounge

The Filthy Hooligan pairs especially well with:

• Medium roast coffee

• Irish-inspired drinks

• Smooth bourbon or whiskey

• A relaxing afternoon in the lounge

The mild sweetness and herbal notes of the Candela wrapper make it an excellent companion to coffee or a creamy drink.

Limited Seasonal Release

The Filthy Hooligan is only released once per year, making it a cigar that many enthusiasts wait all year to enjoy.

Once they’re gone, they’re gone until next March.

Stop in during the month and grab one while supplies last.
