Alec Bradley Gatekeeper is the first creation from the company founder’s sons, Alec and Bradley Rubin.
With attention to detail, this very impressive cigar is a collaboration between the Rubin brothers and industry veteran Ernesto Perez-Carrillo who makes the cigar in the Dominican Republic. With an astounding score of 95, Cigar Aficionado describes it perfectly. ” The Gatekeeper finds synergy and balance with its backbone of pepper (both red and black), nougat and caramel that’s spicy in the right places, sweet in the right places and pops with savory snaps of leather. ” Becoming their #7 cigar of the year didn’t hurt either!
Still not convinced? With Blind Man’s Puff @ 94, Cigar Coop @ 90 and Cigar Dojo @ 90, what more do you need to know about this masterfully blended medium body cigar? No doubt the Rubin brothers will no longer be considered “rookies” moving forward.

The result is a thoroughly enjoyable medium to full bodied smoke. Cigar Aficionado rated this cigar a score of 93.
