Pryme uses wrapper leaf from the corona, or flowering top part of the tobacco plant. More popularly known as ligero, it is generally used in the filler's central core, to boost its power. The wrapper displays a lustrous sheen, due to the extra oils that protect this top leaf from the sun. Pryme's production is limited and costly, because there is less than a 10% yield from an entire year's crop. The medium-to-full bodied cigar gains its depth of flavor by balancing the ligero's full aromatic flavor with a rich-tasting Mexican binder and four-nation filler blend from Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic.
Featured Review
The Alec Bradley Pryme is a handsome cigar with a wonderful medium brown wrapper that is complex, but smooth. The creamy smoke that is produced with every puff has a very nice mix of earth, coffee, slight sweetness, and a finish that is spicy and full of flavor that stays on your pallet for a very long time. The flavors in this one are changing with each puff, at first I was greeted with a nice blast of spice, that soon mellowed moving towards a coffee flavor. The main thing with this cigar is that the spice is always there at the end creating an enjoyable smoke that surprises along the way. Of all of the Alec Bradley cigars I have tried, this one is the most impressive as the complex flavors are blend so well that you feel like you are smoking a cigar that has been created by the world's best blender. Pick some of these limited smokes up because they are as good as can be.-Fumée featured reviewer Brent
