I have never had a bad cigar from AJ, and this cigar follows that trend. It had a perfect burn and medium draw with a creamy smoke texture. Main tasting notes for me are leather, cedar and roasted almonds. I would class the strength as medium +.

A tasty and well made cigar that lasted longer than expected. A slimmer size than I usually look for but a pleasant suprise, an elegant viola for a more civilised age.

I received my sample today and have been surprised .it was my first time in my pipe smoking lifetime to try aromatic tobacco, and I really liked it. Slow burning and rich coffee and caramel test I packed full bowl and smoked it around 45 minutes this evening whiches was great experience to me . For sure, I'll put it on my regular list .

This was my 1st Alec Bradley cigar and will more than likely be my last. The 1st 3rd was bad but the second 3rd it started to develop a very unpleasant burnt firewood taste. I could feel the roughness of the smoke in my throat which is not something I would get from any other cigars that I have smoked. I'm sure some of the AB cigars are good but I will stick to AJ and EP from now on.

The cigar offers a refined and mellow flavor profile that coats the palate in a silky manner.
- **Smoke**: Thick, luxurious clouds of smoke billow with minimal effort, tinged with a subtle blue hue. The aroma is inviting, rich, and satisfying, adding to the overall enjoyment.

A very pleasant smoke for the price. Cold draw did not give much away and did not detect too many flavours but what I did experience, I enjoyed. Very good even burn and I go a smoke time of 35 minutes off the stick.
I would buy again and an ideal cigar to enjoy when you are chilling.
