Alec Bradley Corona Tempus Genesis Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Monday 05 November, 2018 by Jennifer

Mostly positive feelings about this one. First off it looks like a beautiful cigar. Beautiful banding and the construction, colour, texture and smell are all very alluring. Lovely dark brown wrapper rolled perfectly (no seams) as well as being nicely toothy. Taste wise, the first quarter was very bitter. I quite like some bitterness occasionally for a bit of kick but this was a bit overwhelming. However, this happens with nearly any brand of cigar and so its to be expected from time to time. After the first quarter the flavour mellowed out to some nice strong oaky notes with a bit of burnt toffee-like sweetness. The ash held very well and the burn was ok if a little off every now and again. It did go out twice which I wasnt pleased about but luckily this one is fine with being relit. In conclusion, I think the price is a bit high. Id put this in the same class as the Luis Martinez ashcroft corona in terms of quality. Well worth a shout!
