Sadly the price increase has made these no longer worth buying for me when Quorum coronas and short robustos are cheeper
Time will tell whats going to be a bargain but I suspect that soon cigars will be off the table for me and Ill just smoke a pipe.
Well as long as the chancellor can afford to whatever smoke he wants to I guess thats the way it goes.

Burns evenly.

As a newbie to this probably not the best advice.
I lit it straight from the envelope so not sure if i need to leave it for any lenght of time first. Was a nightmare to stay lit, was really quite harsh to taste couldnt taste anything but the smoke, no flavours in there.
I dont know if its good for the money or not, as I said Im new to this but I bought a mix of 4 different ones to try and find my feet but this one will not be in my next order.

I hesitate to give this a 4 star as the burn was absolutely terrible. But it’s my first one and I know Alec Bradley normally produce fine cigars. The flavours were quite earthy and leathery which I like. The first third had a heavy pepper finish which subsided before the second third. Very thick smoke output! Second third was more leather and earth with some subtle spices in there. Smooth and creamy comes to mind. A strange combo I know, but pleasant. The final third was much the same as the second with just some added pepper back on in the finish. Not better at any point which was a plus! I had this one with a black coffee which I highly recommend with this cigar. Complemented each other perfectly. It’s worth a try but I’d be reluctant to buy a box. It didn’t blow me away and if it wasn’t for the crazy burn situation it would be a solid 4 star. I’ll give the other one I bought a go and maybe review it again :) Smoke time was 45mins.

This aromatic offers smoothness, sweetness and spice without the often bitter and hot effects associated with an aromatic tobacco. The sweet vanilla, cherry and chocolates remain present throughout the entire bowl. A lingering hint of honey remains after. And of course, a gorgeous room note. I enjoyed this through a MM Corncob without a filter. It burns very easily and is simple to handle. Sip slow and gentle to ensure a cool smoke and to the preserved flavour.

Very strong, bitter and spicey to start. Mellows out as you get towards half way. Not the easiest draw.
I bought this from the directors recommend section, to bulk out my order for free shipping. I think for the price, there are other cigars which are more to my taste, but Im still learning and sampling.
