A beautiful short smoke, with nutty and coffee flavours, a perfect everyday smoke paired with some amazing whisky.

I have delayed trying one of these due the reports of a very tight draw, but finding myself in the London store with a lovely expert offering to personally choose one to my requirements how could I possibly say no?
I am very glad that I finally decided to try one. The creamy inhale with undertones of spice and slight pepper on the lips by the second third was delightful (I found the first third a little mild and one dimensional, but extremely smooth nonetheless). The strength and flavour definitely took time to arrive, but once there was very balanced , wonderfully smooth and extremely enjoyable. The draw wasn’t an issue. The construction was exemplary, as was the condition. Paired with a light spiced rum this was a real treat. My thanks for the exceptional customer service.

Nice stick for the price. 1 out of the 3 Ive smoked was a little tight but for the aforementioned point its no bother. Ill grab a couple in the future to keep in a humidor when I get one.

Great little smoke. I was a massive fan of Indonesian cigarettes (especially unfiltered kreteks) when I smoked those, so I thought Id give this a try. Didnt disappoint. Nice sweet flavour, great draw and body. Iffy construction but held up fine. All in all gave me a nice 30 min break from the world!

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
