Hi Gregory,

We do not use any wheat at all.  Go ahead and enjoy some fine Alec Bradley cigars!

All my best,

Michael

 

I reconfirmed the fact that there was no gluten in the paste and he said you are correct.

Hello, Im writing this email in regards to the ingredients
of the glue that you use to roll their cigars. Due to my
Celiac I cannot have wheat and I know industry standard is
using vegetable gum (wheat bases) to roll cigars. I was
curious to know if you use vegetable gum or maybe something
gluten free such as fruit pectin? Luckily a few other places
such as Alec Bradley are gluten free and I'm hoping maybe
yours will be too! Thank you for your time, Gregory

Gregory,

There is no glue used to roll our cigars and technically are gluten free in that respect. All of our cigars are hand-rolled and aged naturally.

Thank you,
Webmaster

Good morning thank you for writing to us! 

I am not sure what the ingredients are in the substance we use on our cigars
but I believe it's called bermocoll. 

Regards,

I have received numerous ones that say they are not gluten free.. So I feel confident that these ones are good to go.

I got a response from a rep at J.C. Newman cigars and she stated  that although their glue is not certified gluten free, they do not contain any wheat, rye or barley. They have several celiacs on staff who smoke their cigars.

what's up, charlie - i am a bbs sister ❤️ 

i smoke a swisher sweet from time to time - the ones with the plastic tips.  i never really researched them because the plastic tip is the only thing that's touching my mouth/ aka, i'm not eating them, lolz.  i have ever smoked a cuban at a wedding, a little too much merriment decision.  :D

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
