Alec Bradley MAXX

I have been smoking this cigar for about 2 years now about every other week and have never had one that failed me. this one has been my first and only goto cigar. I have had some pretty special times with this cigar and with the Tempus as well. I have searched far and wide to find another that was like the Maxx but have hence failed in my search. could anyone give me a suggestion? Also I would like your reviews on this stick as well just to see what you guys think. Thank you for your time.

I would give either the RP Edge Series a try. I have had the MAXX Brazil, SCR, Harvest Selection, Tempus and liked everything but the HS. I would try the Edge Maduro or the Edge Lite. Hope this helps.

Maybe the CAO Brazila gol

I really enjoy the MAXX as well, though I wouldn't consider it all that different from many other maduros. Try the Carlos Torano Casa Torano Maduro or the 5 Vegas Series A. Another one I found as a great maduro was the Series JJ Maduro from Don Pepin. Oh, and the Oliva Series G Maduro is another good one. Heh, I like a lot of maduros.

I have smoked the Maxx, it is a good stout stick

I found it to be one of the least enjoyable sticks I've ever smoked. I've read plenty of reviews with people that love them, but I didn't taste a thing. It was like I was smoking air.

You need to revisit it. Lots of flavor on the 5 or 10 I've smoked over the last year or so.

I smoked one that was gifted to me and the draw was so tight I could hardly get any smoke out. From what little I could get it tasted good, but it was a serious pain in the ass.

Yeah, definately check out the Edge Maduro.

Also a real big fan of MAXX. I see in your post that you have tried some tempus - I thought MAXX was the best AB cigar out there until I tried a tempus. Keep trying different stuff. I find I am in a different mood for cigars often. I do have "regulars" but usually go to those when I'm undecided.

I smoke a Maxx every other week. One of my all time favorites. Believe it or not, I find the 262 to be quite similar. Also the 5 Vegas Series A.
