亚历克·布拉德利雪茄即将推出一个全新产品线，名为“安全保护”（Safe Keepings），这是以亚历克·布拉德利品牌创始人艾伦·鲁宾的烟叶混合配方手册上的一款经过试验但从未商业化的一个混合配方为基础卷制的。

在行业里，复活一个雪茄制造商以前试验过的烟叶混合配方，重新启用并退出新系列产品，是比较常见的。这个新产品线全部使用尼加拉瓜烟叶卷制，茄衣、茄套都是古巴种子。茄芯是尼加拉瓜多个烟叶产地的混合烟叶，烟叶品种是克里奥罗98，产地是贾拉帕、埃斯特利、孔德加。

STG去年收购了亚历克·布拉德利品牌，亚历克、布拉德利兄弟继续留任公司担任品牌大使。拉德利·鲁宾（Bradley Rubin）说，我们翻找了父亲留下的烟叶混合配方手册，研究其中的一些配方，我们推出了这款 Safe Keepings，向亚历克·布拉德利雪茄品牌的配方遗产致敬。

新产品线有四个尺寸。皇冠，46环径，5.375英寸，售价10.49美元。罗布图，52环径，5英寸，售价12.29美元。公牛，52环径，6英寸，售价13.89美元。高达，60环径，6英寸，售价15.19美元。所有尺寸都是每盒24支装，雪茄是委托奥利瓦公司在尼加拉瓜的塔博利萨雪茄厂卷制的，预计明年6月份发货给零售商。

雪茄由STG的子公司锻造者雪茄公司负责经销。

Alec Bradley has gone back to the blending books. A new brand called Safe Keepings features an old, previously unused blend that was resurrected “according to recipes recorded in the Alec Bradley founder’s blend book.” 

It’s not uncommon for cigarmakers to revisit older prototypes or conceptual blends and develop them into full-fledged smokes. This particular blend is composed solely of Nicaraguan tobacco, made with a Nicaraguan, Habano-seed binder and wrapper. Underneath is a filler combination of Criollo ‘98 tobacco from Jalapa, Estelí and Condega.

“When we felt the time was right, we opened the blend book and started to do a deep dive on the blend recipes inside,” explains Alec Bradley brand ambassador Bradley Rubin, whose father, Alan founded the brand. “Alec Bradley Safe Keepings honors the blend legacy of the Alec Bradley cigar brand while giving us the opportunity to move forward with resources we never would have been able to access before.”

Alec Bradley Safe Keepings comes in four sizes: Corona, measuring 5 3/8 inches by 46 ring gauge ($10.49); Robusto, at 5 by 52 ($12.29; Toro, 6 by 52 ($13.89); and a 6-by-60 Gordo ($15.19). All the cigars come in 24-count boxes and are made at Oliva’s Tabolisa factory in Nicaragua. They’re expected to ship to retailers in June. 

Safe Keepings is owned by Scandinavian Tobacco Group—which acquired Alec Bradley last year—and is distributed by its subsidiary Forged Cigar Co.
