Robusto This is a good stick that's made well the burn was better than the AB Sundown but the flavor was lacking in my opinion. It started off with a nice thick deep dense smoke and there were hints of Earth Leather and sweet tobacco. At the second third of the Toro the flavor dropped out never to return. What was left was a tunneling irregular burn and a worsening raw harsh P.O.S. I know that it's not a fair test of any cigar to base a bias on the performance of one stick. I'll be glad to set a few aside and give them a second or third try so I can make a fully informed evaluation in the future. Keep rocking the industry AB and as always thanks JR. IMHO Xxx 4 5 1
Robusto While this is far from a bad cigar I found that it leaves me wanting just a little more. While the flavor is good every three cigars or so I found myself having construction problems with the burn. Overall this is a great smoke for the price but if I always had to pay the MSRP for this one I would be pretty disappointed. 3 5 1
Robusto I have bought these gars a couple of times and really enjoy the robust flavors. I particularly enjoy these with a evening cup of joe. 4 5 1
Robusto My first was fine but when I cut the second there was a string of plastic running down the center of it. So I won't be smoking the rest. 3 5 1
Robusto Another nice one from AB. Good smoke and flavor. Not one of their best but a definite nice smoke. 4 5 1
Robusto Outstanding smoke. Reminds me of a Cuban cigar I smoked 20 years ago. Great construction draw and flavor. Beautiful gray ash remains intact. Good two hour smoke without having to relight. Highly recommend. 5 5 1
Robusto always a good smoke! 4 5 1
Robusto Just tried my first one of these today. I must say I am very impressed! My new favorite! Great draw and excellent flavor. I'm amazed at how even it burns and how well it stays lit. I bought a 5 pack of these on the rapid fire auction and got a great deal! I'll definitely keep these stocked in the humidor. 5 5 1
Robusto Great smoke how about you keep it in stock. That would be a novel idea!!!! 4 5 1
Robusto Very pleased with this cigar This was my first AB and I too give it high ratings 5 5 1
Robusto I'm a big fan of Ab that is no secret. This offering is high on my list. Draw is always good amd burn is even no issues. 4 5 1
Robusto Love this cigar. I always have them stocked in my humidor. Tasty tasty tasty smoke! 5 5 1
Robusto Great consistent smoke. Medium bodied with great flavor. Good burn and ash. You can't go wrong with this one. 4 5 1
Robusto This is a quality cigar from a quality company. It’s entry level but is consistent. It’s not too Smokey it’s a smoke you can enjoy for a while. It is flavorful but not overpowering. 4 5 1
Robusto A favorite at a good price. One of the best smoking cigars I've ever had 5 5 1
Robusto This is my new favorite I used the colibri v cutter and has a perfect draw great taste and creamy smoke. Very impressed I snagged the on special and can't get much better IMO that's JR!! 5 5 1
Robusto I'm glad I didn't leave a review based on the first one I smoked because it was really harsh. I let the other 4 rest in the humi for a couple months and what a difference. Very full flavored with great leather and pepper flavors yet pretty smooth. As with all the other Bradleys I've had the construction/draw was great. I agree with the other reviews that say this is a med-full to full flavored stick rather than medium. It is much stronger than the Prensado which they classify as full. And as usual I got them at a great price on auction. 4 5 1
Robusto Very strong taste of leather which I didnt like. It was very well made though. 4 5 1
Robusto I just recently ordered these they may be my new favorite. The flavors profile is medium to full with a clean taste. Burn is consistent. 5 5 1
Robusto Tight draw on these each one I bring out is the same result. Burns smooth and taste good whwn you can get it going. Last third is proably the best though as by then its loosened up enough to not have to work it for a puff. 3 5 1
Robusto won this cigar through beat the dealer game. definitely one of my top 10 cigars. great flavor and the draws were great 4 5 1
Robusto I'll take this over most of the AB offerings. Bold strong cigar very consistent. Haven't had a bad one yet. 4 5 1
Robusto The alec bradley black market is a nice smooth almost nutty smoke that isn't too hard in the wallet. 5 5 1
Robusto Very good smoke. Good draw burn and flavor. I highly recommend if you have never tried one. 4 5 1
Robusto Nice smoke. I had a 5 pack. I don't put much stock in consistency on just 5 smokes. The draw was tight on several at the end . That being said I enjoyed the cigars. 3 5 1
Robusto I really enjoy AB cigars and the Black market is in my top 3 of AB along with Prensado and Tempus. Tremendous flavors throughout the cigar... Love the pepper and cocoa flavors. Great smoke 5 5 1
Robusto A good cigar that you can usually find for a great price. Pick one up you won't be disappointed. 3 5 1
Robusto I always find myself reaching for these when I have them in my humidor. Friends always want to try one when we herf. 5 5 1
Robusto Started up on cigars about six months ago and have experimented with many brands sizes and shapes. Hands down the Alec Bradley Black Market Robusto stands way out in front in my opinion. Excellent construction perhaps enhanced by its full paper wrapper. A pleasing light peppery flavor on the lips followed by a pleasant fruity finish at the back of the tongue. Excellent consistent draw and burn. 5 5 1
Robusto A solid smoke for a great price. These are a nice medium/full smoke that isn't bitter and smokes so smoothly. A great cigar that won't break the bank. 4 5 1
Robusto Black Market is a beautiful cigar with lots of attributes! Great draw and flavor. I'm always ready for one of these! 5 5 1
Robusto I got this cigar in a sample pack. After smoking it I knew that I had to get more. Very smooth and creamy with the perfect draw. Earthy after taste that just perfect for me. I'm bidding on a 10 pack now. I love this cigar. I wish I could give the flavor more 5 stars. 5 5 1
Robusto Many people thought this was a good cigar. I thought it was decent but quite one note. Not a lot going on but it was pleasant enough. 3 5 1
Robusto Great construction with an easy draw and very solid ash. Medium body with a mild aftertaste. Earthy but not heavy. Lots of complex flavors. Spice but kit too much. Intriguing cigar and it made me want to smoke more to define the flavors. 5 5 1
Robusto The Black Market line from Alec Bradley is an awesome line of cigars. The flavor profile is great and rarely have I had a blend where no matter the size it developed so similar but this smoke does just that. 4 5 1
Robusto This is a fun smoke. Lots of different flavors from different tobaccos. The transitions from one flavor to the next leave room for improvement and this is definitely not a $30 stick but it doesn't claim to be. If you want something a little different and you're ok with some quick changes from spicey to sweet etc pick up an Alex Bradley Black Market. 3 5 1
Robusto Like most cigar smokers I am constantly on the lookout for my new favorite GO TO cigar. The La Gloria Cubana Serie R Esteli has been at the top of my list for some time. The Alec Bradley Black Market just took over the first position. Excellent burn even when playing golf. Ash holds up to the wind and does not break down like many cigars on the golf course. From the first draw to the last I enjoy every stage of this cigar. I'll admit to burning my index and ring fingers a few times. These are that good!! Enjoy. 5 5 1
Robusto Bought these at auction. Got a 5 pack. Extremely good price. Was super excited as cigar was lit with a spice on the younger and lips and mellowed to a woody spice finishes. This has to be one gar you need to experience. i could make this an everyday smoke. Little tooth with nice leather feel and a little vein. 5 5 1
Robusto My favorite size for this particular cigar it draws better and burns better in my opinion good stuff 4 5 1
Robusto This is one that I have off and on especially because it's a robust I and the time that you get is good 5 5 1
Robusto Alec Bradley can't make a bad cigar. These are great creamy earthy chocolaty goodness. 4 5 1
Robusto I must have gotten a bad batch!!! Dry inconsistent burn Tightest draw I have ever had I know this is a name in Cigar world but the batch of Black markets I got was trash... a lot of money wasted I have the last 3 in my Humidor gonna try them again in 6 months 3 5 1
Robusto For an AB this is a little gem. Although not as mysterious as the hooligan it is rich and complex 4 5 1
Robusto Beautiful cigar with a delicious taste. Great dark wrapper with a bit of a spice.. Just love this cigar 5 5 1
Robusto Flavor was very nice but draw was a little tough in the first third. Overall a very nice stick. 4 5 1
Robusto The black market is AB's second best cigar imho. Great flavor and burn. Construction is top knotch. 4 5 1
Robusto The entire Black Market line is excellent! Very well rolled with a great draw firm ash and a delicious taste. 5 5 1
Robusto The Blackmarket is a uniquely blended cigar. You can definitely tell they took their time with this one. You can't beat perfection. 3 5 1
Robusto Smooth draw well constructed and full bodied cigar. A great all around cigar. One of my top 5 for sure. I'm a newbie but flavors are great and this was a joy to smoke. 4 5 1
Robusto Got one in a trade and lit up a tasty stick! Bread and aged tobacco make up the majority of the flavor 5 5 1
Robusto I've had a couple of these. One of them blew me away the other was OK. The one that blew be away was an incredibly aromatic maduro that kept me captivated. The other was missing that spark. 3 5 1
Robusto This is one of my top favorite smokes of all time I would smoke these everyday all day if I could afford it lol if you have not tried this smoke then hurry up and order a 5 pack you won't be disappointed 5 5 1

Robusto Awesome smoke not for the mild smoker good draw nice ash ! 4 5 1
Robusto Alec did it Gain very nice smoke right to the end. 5 5 1
Robusto I picked up one of these at a local purveyor because of how much I have heard about them. I am a fan of the medium strength gar because of the difficulty in finding balance between strength and flavor is a good indicator of the quality of a cigar label. And finding the perfect balance is heaven to me. I have heard a lot about the quality of Alec Bradley and from the start this cigar didn't disappoint. Just the appearance of the stick is beautiful and screams quality. Chocolate brown without any and I mean any soft or hard spots and a flawless wrapper without any discolorations. Upon lighting I found the draw a tad bit tight but not eye-crossing and the burn was consistent and even producing a tenacious white flakey ash without any canoeing or tunneling. I did however have to re-light it several times but that was my fault and not the gar's as I was deep in discussion while smoking it. From the unlit smell of the cigar through the shaking and pounding at the end to get as much smoke out of it as possible it is true to it's name and billing: Cubanesque. I have had a Cuban Montecristo #2 and others and this thing tastes every bit as Cuban as those did. The only knock I have on it in the flavor department is that within 2 inches of the band it began to take on a bit of harshness and I remember being angry about it because it had been such a great smoke until then. And then I remembered that I only paid $7.00 for it. The harshness that I described is normally eliminated on sticks costing $10.00 or more. But the general flavors remained consistent all the way through the last embers of it. A truely fantastic cigar for the price and in my rating system I would put it at a 91 overall. 4 5 1
Robusto A good friend gave me one of these cigars to try out and wow what a great smoke. Out of AB collection this is one my favorite cigars from this brand. 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar was delicious from the first draw to the last. The look and construction are great. Produces solid white ash and a good amount of smoke. Instantly became a go to cigar for me. 5 5 1
Robusto This is a very decent cigar to bring about to parties or casually smoke while sailing a ship with the other hand. Alec Bradley products are always a quality experience. 4 5 1
Robusto Fabulous cigar! It was a pleasure smoking with my 18yr Scotch. Very smooth with a slow, even burn. Will be buying many more of these. Well done Alec Bradley! 5 5 1
Robusto I won these on beat the dealer. Never had an Alec Bradley cigar before. I can't wait to try them after reading the reviews 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar has rich flavor. Draw was a little loose. Not my favorite Alec Bradley. 4 5 1

Robusto Great smooth cigar. In Alaska this guys $24. Super glad to get one much cheaper for a delightful smoke. 4 5 1
Robusto Beautiful oily wrapper on a well made wonderfully balanced cigar. Slow burning with some complexity. 4 5 1
Robusto I normally smoke the AB Maxx fix but this one is a winner too. The draw got better about a third of the way. Flavor was great and the five pack price special was even better! I'll definitely be purchasing these again. 4 5 1
Robusto The only reason I did not give this cigar 5 stars on flavor is because there is nothing really unusual or exotic about it. However there are zero defects. There is no bitterness. The smoke is good from the first puff to the last. Most important to me - this cigar is satisfying because it is full and rich with no hint of any harshness from the beginning to the end. I have tasted better - but not by much - and when I did - the price was triple. 4 5 1
Robusto This is a good cigar that has the flavor draw and consistent build that I trust . it is always in the humidor. 4 5 1

Robusto I love the black market in the booster the nice chocolate flavors are overwhelming and this cigar not a bedroll the burn is a little wonky at times but overall it is a very flavorful deep Coco earthy stick very enjoyable all times of the day and especially with the robusto a nice lunch time smoke on any day. 4 5 1
Robusto The A B black markets are a great cigar for the money. Stock up on em. 4 5 1
Robusto The black market robust makes a perfect smoke for those cooler months when you don't have the time for the churchill. Pepper spice and cocoa flavors dominate here 3 5 1
Robusto I smoke these weekly. Amazing flavor. Great sweetness with chocolate cedar leather and espresso. Good slow burn. Great construction. 4 5 1
Robusto Got a 5 pack of these on Rapid Fire. The gar had great reviews so i was really pleased at what i paid considering it had such good reviews. Now that I have smoked one i wish i would have bought 20. This has to be one of the best smoking cigars. Draw was spot on as it was not to tough yet not to giving. Construction was flawless. Slight tooth and vein. Consistent white ash throughout. Great spice right out of the gate that transformed into a mild mid. Mid was a touch harsh for a second but then mellowed into a nice relaxing nutty wood flavor that kept the Cuban like spice on the lips. I will be back.!!! 5 5 1
Robusto I tried one and immediately bought a box. Interesting flavor. Medium to full. Even burn. Didn't take me long to finish the box. 5 5 1
Robusto Chocolate leather pepper and licorice. Nice draw somewhat tight. Had to relight and touch up pretty frequently each time i enjoyed one of these but they are not bad. Flavors develop through the second and third portion 4 5 1

Robusto The robusto black market comes in a rustic wooden crate the smoke is alittle rough at first but developed into a very nice flavorful smoke to the nub 4 5 1
Robusto I've had a couple of these. One of them blew me away the other was OK. The one that blew be away was an incredibly aromatic maduro that kept me captivated. The other was missing that spark. 3 5 1

Robusto Excellent smoke. Maduro but smooth and never bitter. Nice draw. Good combination of med/rich flavor with no harshness. I really liked these! Will buy again. 4 5 1
Robusto Dark wrappered well constructed stick with balanced and delicious notes of savory beef, cashews and roasted almonds, leather and creamy dark sweet chocolate. Just enough spice to keep it interesting without overpowering things bringing notes of salt and mild black pepper with a tang of citrus peel and nutmeg. Balanced and delicious this was a very enjoyable stick paired with a medium sweet sherry (Osborne). The combination of savory and sweet is spot on yummy. Perfect draw and burn line with zero touchups. 5 5 1
Robusto Good consistent cigars. They have a nice and easy draw and a pleasant taste. Definitely buy them again! 5 5 1
Robusto I usually smoke the Black Market Torpedos. Those are in my monthly rotation. Decided to sample the robustos and I'm happy to say that the taste, draw and flavor is consistent with the Torpedos. Great smoke! 5 5 1
Robusto great construction flavors on point and smoke output great 4 5 1
Robusto The original AB Black Market is definitely my favorite AB. It’s very well constructed with a nice oily wrapper. Good draw and burn with notes of sweet tobacco, creamy sweet coffee and a hint of earthiness. The retro adds a bit of spice to the mix. Very well balanced of flavor. The ash holds on well about and inch at a time. 4 5 1
Robusto I like alec Bradley cigars there are a nice variety to pick from and this won is pretty good. 4 5 1
Robusto I like these cigars Alec Bradley makes some really good cigars. 4 5 1
Robusto A very good cigar. Has a nice well rounded taste with a good draw. 5 5 1
Robusto Very nice cigar that doesn’t break the bank. Well constructed and good, strong flavor. For me, this cigar pairs well with a cold, amber ale. I’m not the bourbon or scotch type. You won’t be disappointed. 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar is amazing. I've aged this cigar for a month and is now oily, creamy, chocolate. 5 5 1
Robusto I love Maduro cigars and this was my first time smoking an Alec Bradley.Wow! I am impressed with the taste,burn, construction,and draw of this cigar.I got them on one of JR's special deals and they have become a new favorite for me. s 5 5 1
Robusto Very good smoke. Rich and full of flavor. Very good draw and a solid ash. I think that it is the best A&B brand that I've smoked. Lasts around 65 minutes. 4 5 1
Robusto The interesting combination of tobaccos provide a medium-full bodied flavor that’s as described. Great construction & burn (for a thicker leaf wrapper). Draw can vary a bit, but is always acceptable. A bit of aging brings-out the best the cigar has to offer. Has evidently become quite popular, as demonstrated by the steadily increasing price. 4 5 1
Robusto good hardy robust flavor 5 5 1
Robusto Amazing cigar. Medium to strong. Great burn and construction. Flavors of chocolate, cocoa, sweet tobacco. Just awesome 5 5 1
