Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan Shamrock Cigar review

The Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Hooligan Shamrock is a follow-up to the Filthy Hooligan the company released in 2013. For three years, the annual release was more or less the same: a candela-wrapped version of the company’s Black Market blend. As with pretty much every limited edition candela cigar, it was released ahead of the St. Patrick’s Day holiday. In 2016, that changed when the company made the Filthy Hooligan a barberpole, taking the Honduran candela leaf and combining it with a Nicaraguan leaf from Jalapa. That continued up until 2019 when the company announced a second barberpole version known as the Shamrock. This cigar would use three different wrappers—Honduran candela along with habano maduro and habano seco of undisclosed origin—over an undisclosed filler blend. It too was offered in a 6 x 50 barberpole, but limited to just 500 boxes of 10 cigars last year and 1,500 boxes this year. Cigar Reviewed: Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Hooligan Shamrock (2020) Country of Origin: Honduras Factory: Tabacos de Oriente Wrapper: Honduras (Candela) & Undisclosed (Habano Maduro & Habano Seco) Binder: Undisclosed Filler: Undisclosed Length: 6 Inches Ring Gauge: 50 Vitola: Toro I feel like the intensity of the candela has decreased, though there are more places in the palate where the candela is accenting things. There’s an added toasty flavor and some water chestnut, both of which have that grassy characteristic. With about two inches left, the toasty flavor shifts to more of a burnt nuts flavor. It seems like the retrohales are coming from a different cigar: raspberry, toasted bread, citrus and wasabi. If I don’t retrohale, the lingering flavor is nutty, the smell of melting chocolate and meatiness. If I retrohale, it adds a ton of grassiness. The flavor is medium-plus, body is medium-full and strength is medium-plus.
