Alec Bradley was founded in 1996 by Alan Rubin and named after his sons, Alec and Bradley. Despite the competitive market, Rubin carved out a niche by offering affordable cigars to retailers. In 2007, the full-flavored "Tempus" line further expanded the brand's market reach. Based in Hollywood, Florida, Alec Bradley primarily manufactures cigars at the renowned Raices Cubanas factory in Danlí, Honduras, with some production also at the Plasencia Cigars factory in Nicaragua.
