Purchased on a recommendation from Evan at the Liverpool store.
Initial look and smell ok. Once lit the burn was very even and draw was good. However this was just not for me. I found it to be a very rough smoke. Not well balanced at all.
A little surprised this was recommended along with a Montecristo No5 as they are incomparable. In my opinion there are better Cubans out there for the same money.

I didnt think there was all that much pepper at all in this. The flavour was great though, very savoury, pairs well with bits of dark chocolate. The flavour actually reminded me of a sour cabbage stew and buttered toast, probably the sour and crispy toast notes.
The only reason this cigar gets a 4/5 is because of the uneven burn, with that said Ill probably have to try a few more as this really suited my palette.

This is my first ALEC Bradley, we got off to a little bit of a shaky start, but I’m pleased to say that things improved, very much so.
Normally at this point, I’d be writing something about the construction, but the packaging itself is stunning, it’s in your face and sticks two fingers up at the traditional cigar bands, giving you something different and unique.
Construction is simply excellent with a dark almost Maduro wrapper, and impressive attention to detail around the cap.
The unlit aroma is gorgeous, lots of pepper and chocolate, with some molasses and cedar thrown in for good measure and cries out for you to smoke it.
After application of a punch, it lit easily after a through toasting, producing a very strong and very peppery finish, that was way too strong for my palette. At this point it’s fair to say that I almost put it down to an incompatible choice, but as I’d loved everything about it, I felt I owed it to persevere.
I’m glad I did as a few minutes later it settled in and whist still strong, started to deliver a bit of dark chocolaty sweetness and s

As a beginner to the world of cigars - theres only 3 letters to describe it - wow! The first third was smooth and chocolatey, transforming into a more woody flavour towards the end. Really enjoyable rich aroma. Holds 1+inch ash which for a stick of this size seems really good! Nice tight seams on the wrapper, really solid construction, a slight glue mark from excess on the band but thats no bother as its really far up. A better experience than a RyJ No. 2 I had the other day which was over double the price of this stick! A 45 min gran reserva smoke for a great price that Im glad I tried - and will definitely order more in future purchases!

These cigars provide a satisfying 20 minute smoke. Lovely flavour throughout and pleasant aroma. Ill be ordering more soon.

The Adorini Travel Cedro is a brilliant choice for the travel treatment. Not only can this be taken on the go, but can be doubled up as a simple desktop humidor. The scratch free unfinished Spanish cedar veneer gives it a natural and elegant look which will sit nicely in most places, and is less susceptible to wear and tear whilst on the go. The humidor has a 10 cigar capacity which is plenty whilst out and about. A definite must buy for a connoisseur who can’t travel without a good cigar accessible.
