DENVER, CO (Wednesday, February 7, 2024) —— Four years after the
original launch, Alec & Bradley Cigars have once again partnered with
Cigar Dojo for the quadrennial return of Uru Doshi.

First debuting on Feb. 29, 2020, Uru Doshi was named for the Japanese
translation of leap year. The cigars marked the first collaboration
from Alec and Bradley Rubin (of Alec Bradley fame), signaling the
first release in an elusive series, materializing only once every four
years.

Now, 1,461 days and 2.34 billion miles around the sun later, the Uru
Doshi cigar is set to return to humidors for the first time. Like the
original, the cigars make use of unique leaves from lots not seen
throughout Alec Bradley’s portfolio. This includes Honduran and
Nicaraguan leaves, making up the cigar’s filler and double-binder
recipe. However, as has been hinted in the four years since the
original launch, the Uru Doshi (2024) employs subtle tweaks to the
tobacco primings, making for a slightly amped-up take on the 2020
edition. Finally, the Jamastran wrapper of the original cigar has been
swapped with a Honduran Criollo ’98 cover leaf, selected from
Honduras’ Trojes region.

Those that were patient enough to set aside a few singles/bundles from
the 2020 release will be rewarded, as the comparison over the course
of four long years makes one of the most unique aging experiments
among limited series on the market.

“I can’t believe it’s been four years since the first Uru Doshi
release, yet here we are,” commented Eric Guttormson, owner of Cigar
Dojo. “It’s time for another leap year and another iteration of the
Uru Doshi. This time around, we tweaked the blend to allow for an
amped-up smoking experience. Let me be the first to say, it was worth
the wait!”

Bradley Rubin, Alec Bradley brand ambassador said, “Working with Cigar Dojo on Uru Doshi is one of my favorite projects. Not just because the 2020 blend was Dojo’s fastest-selling collaboration that year. It’s
also because Uru Doshi is an opportunity to reflect on how our palates
have evolved. As Eric said, we updated the blend to make it the right
smoke for 2024. We can’t wait for people to experience it.”
