My first Alac Bradley

I've had many experiences like that with Alec Bradley stuff I generally don't reach for them often anymore and personally won't be buying more.

Thanks. Got another Alac in the humi, a Nica Puro. Think I'll let it sit there a while.

There's only two Alec Bradley's that I like. Too many burn and construction issues for me.

I just reviewed a Sun Grown which is halfway decent, but for me their best are the Nica Puro and Raises Cubana. I've found you really have to take your time with them otherwise the burn gets wonky.

I've smoked 4 so far and all 4 have been stellar, AB is in my top 3, i gotta think (or hope cuz I just ordered a 5 pack!) that maybe it was a bum stick? I've read some folks on here saying try a stick at least twice before making a case for or against, sorry to hear you had such a bad session

That's my experience with most Alec Bradley lines in general. Flavors are good, but it never burns correctly and the draw is really tight sometimes. If I remember correctly, there was one interview where Alan Rubin said that his blends have the ligero on the outer portion of the cigar as opposed to the center, which is where it's supposed to be. That might have something to do with the burn.

In the name of science :-) I dug a Prensado Churchhill out of my humidor, purchased last November... a third of the way in, and the draw and burn (not to mention flavors) are perfect. The robustos of the same cigar have all been good too. Hopefully, the rest of the box does just as well. The other AB's I've had, Maxx, Tempus, Nica Puro, and Connecticut have all been good too. Who knows, maybe they went through some problems at the factory before I started smoking, and got them straightened out. Note: I don't work for AB, just like 'em.

Over all my experiences with Alec Bradley cigars have been those of an average cigar. None that I thought I must buy a box, but also none that I though were bad either. I have a Fine and Rare resting for a warmer day that I have higher expectation for... being it is a nearly twenty dollar cigar. For the most part, they do not make up a large part of my inventory.

I don't like the name of the company. Some story I read was the founder named it by combining his two son's first names. So, at that point I find out there's no person named Alec Bradley. Not a fan of that. Neither am I a fan of Cinco Vegas using the numeral 5 in their logo and expecting us gringos to say cinco aloud. If you wanted me to say cinco why did you trick me? Thanks a lot.

Touche! And I sure as hell regret that I did that. But I'm Bob now. Gotta roll with it.

Alec Bradley has a couple decent cigars on the market, however I feel most of the lines are not very good. I have a box of Tempest Maduro that I bought when they first came out...3 maybe 4 years ago. I might have to give one of those a go this summer and see how they are.
