Description
The Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Ghooligan 2024 is a 6 x 50 toro rolled in Honduras, dressed in a barber-pole wrapper that spirals Ecuadorian Habano around U.S. broadleaf. Underneath are an Indonesian Besuki binder and Dominican Piloto plus Nicaraguan filler. Alec Bradley, owned by Scandinavian Tobacco Group, shipped it in September 2024 as a Halloween counterpart to its St. Patrick’s Day Filthy Hooligan.
What It Tastes Like
Two dated reviews of the 2024 cigar land far apart. Stogie Press (September 25, 2024) scored it 94 at medium strength, finding cinnamon, crackers, nutty sweetness and jammy fruit that brightened toward citrus late. Cigar Coop (March 23, 2025) gave it 87 and a “Try a Sample” verdict: mocha, cedar and white pepper gave way to black coffee, and bitterness crept into the final third. Alec Bradley itself points to cocoa, baking spice and earth.
Who It’s For
- Barber-pole collectors who want a darker take than the green-candela Hooligan.
- Coffee-and-cocoa fans with roughly 85 minutes to spare, per Stogie Press.
- Alec Bradley regulars who like marking October with a seasonal blend.

About the Black Market Line
Black Market dates to 2011; halfwheel traces the candela Filthy Hooligan to St. Patrick’s Day 2013. Alec Bradley calls the Ghooligan a yearly Halloween release, and Cigar Coop’s report on the 2025 edition lists the same blend and size.

Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Ghooligan 2024 FAQ

No. The Hooligan is the St. Patrick’s Day cigar that features green candela; the Halloween Ghooligan skips candela for Ecuadorian Habano and U.S. broadleaf.

Sources differ slightly: Stogie Press called it medium, Cigar Coop had it rising from medium to medium-full late, and Alec Bradley lists the body as medium to full.
What size is the Filthy Ghooligan?
One: a 6 x 50 toro, per Alec Bradley, halfwheel and Cigar Coop.
Where is the Filthy Ghooligan made?
In Honduras. The factory went unnamed at the 2024 launch; halfwheel’s 2025 update lists STG DanlÃ.
