Alec Bradley Orchant Seleccion Pointy Cigar - 1 Single

Currently somking the Alec Bradley Orchant Seleccion (last 3rd), this was suggested by a nice chap from the St James's St branch of C.Gars. I found this to be a very aromatic (pleasant smell). In terms of taste notes (this subjective) I found it to have an ever so slight sweetness, I tasted pepper notes and spicey notes, will need buy again (all though a bit above my budget) to taste the coffee (espresso) note. Construction very well made I did have to touch it up and relight a few times but probably due to me rather than the cigar itself. I always find myself finding difficult to strike the delicate balance of not smoking too fast as the cigar does get hot and leaving it too late for the next puff (I am getting there). The smoke was very creamy. I love the spiceiness on the lips and tip of the toungue especially when retro haling. I found all the cigars I have bought from C.Gars to have a creamy smoke to them be it a small 32 ring gauge or the bigger 40+ ring gauge cigars. The friendly chap did mention to me that the Mayfiar branch have more of the cigars I was after which was quite interesting as for some reason I thought the flagship branch would accomodate the cigars I wanted. Never the less, the selection I bought I belive would cater to my needs or be it my pallat. And if you ask nicely, the staff will throw in a free lighter. Well done C.Gars.

I'm sorry but these were just not to good I could not get a draw out of these and still have 3 left from a 4 pack.

Lots of flavour. Doesnt cope well with slightly high humidity which

An atrociously uneven burn throughout sadly let this cigar down, perhaps I got a dud? Despite all attempts to try and even things out and get back to normal it remained a decidedly lopsided smoke and became a bit of a chore. As a consequence things got a bit soggy in the final third. However, the cigar was relatively smooth, very flavoursome, decently strong without being overpowering, and it left a pleasant taste in the mouth.

Lovely cigar burned evenly full of flavour and a decent smoke time. I would recommend this as a daily smoke for sure. Good job!
