This was part of an Avo sampler offer and tried it a few nights ago. I'm not great at identifying different tastes in a cigar but picked up what seemed to be a lovely chocolate taste in the first part. Fairly loose draw but plenty of delicious smoke and burnt well. Thoroughly enjoyed this and would buy again.

3 stars for quality, 4+ stars for value.
It's OK but I wish I had bought something better (and yes of course more expensive).
Better, but not as much as I'd hoped, than the standard bent-metal things included in all the pipe "starter packs"

Received as part of a small AVO sampler pack.
The 1st two 3rds were very harsh and bitter, needing constant touchups on one side. The final 3rd brought forward a nicer nutty spice that was more pleasant but the bitter taste was still there. Unfortunately this one was not enjoyable for me.

What a smooth, even burning cigar!
Really enjoyed them and just re-ordering some more

The Alec Bradley Orchant Selección was an interesting one for me. I’ve heard a lot about Alec Bradley cigars, and this particular collaboration blend felt like a good introduction. Right away, I noticed earthy notes with cedar and a bit of sweetness, almost like molasses. The construction was very good—solid draw, steady burn, and plenty of smoke output. Midway through, I picked up more cocoa and spice, which gave it a richer character. It’s medium-bodied overall, making it approachable but not boring. The flavors were balanced, though I wouldn’t say they blew me away. What I liked most was the smoothness—it never became harsh, and I was able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace. Toward the final third, the spice kicked up a little more, along with some nutty flavors, which gave it a satisfying finish. For me, this cigar felt dependable and enjoyable, though maybe not as memorable as some of the other brands I’ve tried. Still, it’s a solid choice and one I’d recommend to someone looking to explore Alec Bradley without diving straight into their stronger blends.
Rating: 7/10
