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.

This is one of my favourite once a week cigar, is smooth, creamy.
The flavor here is quite mild and generic, though a thick, subtle sweetness comes out on occasion. I could make the case for some sort of bakery staple such as a cake donut or coffee cake as the most recognizable, though again, it’s pretty mild.
It is reliable and consistent.

One of the best smoking cigars I have ever enjoyed. Perfect draw and burn. Enjoyed very much.

AVO Classic Uvezian Puritos - Tin of 10
by Antony
After sampling a single AVO Classic Uvezian Purito, I ordered a tin of ten.
Sadly I have found them quite inconsistent in two areas.
The first being drawing; so far 3 of 6 smoked the draw has been so tight I have had to try cutting short lengths off to get an acceptable draw. This has been between 20mm and 40mm, not really acceptable.
The second being flavour; 4 of these six have been bitter and harsh.
A disappointment following the lovely flavor and draw of the original sample.
A waste of over £50.

I’ve bought these 3 times and each time after a few months the igniter stops lighting the gas jet.

Extremely tight draw! I'm not really getting any flavour profiles other than ash and a mild bit of pepper towards the end of a very short smoke.
In this case you are getting what you paid for but I'd much prefer to smoke a pipe instead.
