Alec Bradley Mundial Punta Lanza No. 5

Mundial is one of Alec Bradley's more characterful lines, and the Punta Lanza shapes are all perfectos — tapered at both ends. The No. 5 measures about 5.13 x 52. The blend pairs a Honduran Trojes wrapper with a double binder of Honduran and Nicaraguan leaf and a four-tobacco filler that leans heavily on Estelí ligero.

What it tastes like

That ligero-heavy core gives Mundial real depth. Expect cedar and a firm black pepper up front, with leather, cocoa, and an earthy richness underneath. It smokes medium-full, and the perfecto shape means the experience evolves as the burn opens up the body of the cigar. Construction is solid, with the careful roll a perfecto demands.

Who it's for

This is a smoke for experienced palates that enjoy a fuller, spicier Honduran-Nicaraguan blend and appreciate a figured shape. If you're newer, the cigar strength guide is worth a read first. The blend also pairs well with our Cuban vs Nicaraguan cigars discussion if you're exploring origins.
