The Medici family is one of the most well-known family names throughout history. This powerful Florentine family had a vast impact on the world from the 13th century, to the 17th century. They alone produced three popes, Leo X, Leo XI and Clement VII. Nobility was common among the Medici family as well, as their family engulfed the French and English royalty. The Medici family also produced many rulers of the capital of the Tuscan region of Italy, Florence. Their contributions to the world were spread out over many different fields. After being involved in banking for quite some time, the Medici family created The Medici Bank, which would evolve into the largest bank in Europe during the 15th century. The Medicis also developed the double-entry bookkeeping system, which was used to track credits as well as debits. The single most important thing that the Medicis would remain famous for, was their love for art. They played a major role in the development of the Italian Renaissance, commissioning many important artists. The Medicis were patrons of some of the most famous Renaissance men to ever grace the Earth. Some of these include: Galileo Galilei, Filippo Brunelleschi, Donatello, Michelangelo, as well as Raphael. The Medici family oversaw the construction of the Sistine Chapel, which should say a lot about how important this family was. When we decided that we wanted to create another new house-blend for you, the Medici family represented everything that we wanted in a cigar. They were a family that had a lasting impact on society and were well-respected by even those who didn't know them. We knew that there was only one company that we wanted to create the Medici for us, and that is Alec Bradley. Alan Rubin's company has come a long way since the conception of the Occidential Reserve cigar in 2000. We've watched his cigars increase in sales over the years, and each product that has come out has impressed us even more. Cigar Aficionado has echoed the progress of Alec Bradley, as their recent cigars have mostly received 90 or better ratings. In fact, their latest cigar, the Alec Bradley Tempus, recently received a 94 in Cigar Insider. With all of these facts at our disposal, it was easy to trust Alec Bradley with the Medici. A lot of our cigar aficionados here at BestCigarPrices.com are fans of the Alec Bradley MAXX cigar. The large ring gauges that these cigars employ is something that is not found in many other lines. This is the type of cigar that we wanted to capture in our Medici blend, and Alec Bradley was happy to ablidge. The result has been one of the most satisfying smokes that most of us have had. We know that a lot of our competitors seem to brag about their house brands, but we think after smoking one of these you'll be quick to understand what all the hype is about. The Medici is a medium-full bodied cigar that uses only the highest-grade premium Honduran tobacco. The wrapper is a flawless, shiny, Nicaraguan Habano wrapper that allows for the cigar to be rich, and thick, with hints of leather. We are so confident that this cigar will satisfy any smoker looking for a large, medium-full bodied cigar, that we're willing to let you smoke a cigar on us. Buy any box of Medici, and if you smoke one cigar and don't think that it's for you, send it back to us and we will refund you the full amount. We stand behind Medici, and are incredibly happy with what Alec Bradley created for us. All of the Medici sizes are a tribute to the famous Italian family, and once you smoke this cigar at the incredibly low price that we are able to offer it to you at, it won't be long before this cigar becomes a legend as well.
