Alec Bradley Tempus

Wow. Just wow. I've had these before, and always loved them, but it's been about a year since my last and just... unbelievable. I loved this cigar, such great flavor profile that changes just enough to make it fun, and amazing draw/smoke. Thoughts? Full Review!

I am also a fan of this cigar, and just had a Tempus Magistri. Great cigar, AR used darker wrappers for this particular size, and as always, it tasted GREAT. I actually liked it more than the other sizes.

I've had these in several sizes and they all ROCK. These are some of Alec Bradley's best work. Had one last night. I am still waiting to try the Pryme. I ordered several samplers a few months ago, thought that the Pryme would be in them, but no such luck. I have been told they are as good or better then the Tempus, but it would be one GREAT cigar to be better then the Tempus' IMO.

I know you and me have similar tastes. How would you compare it to the Decade? Or to anything else by RP...

I would have to say that the Tempus has a bit more spice to it than the Decade. Although, I think the best comparison would be RP Edge, which has be bit of spice at the beginining and then mellows out a little towards the middle, like the Tempus.

Man, you guys are making me drool on my keyboard. I've got a couple of Tempus in the humi and I'm trying to put a little rest under their belts before lighting them on fire, but you are making it hard. As soon as it's not 10 degrees outside with wind gusts of 30 I might have to light one of these babies...

Its been my experience with Tempus (plural Tempi?) that they really don't need age. I normally smoke them after I've had them a couple of days (to adjust humidity) and they are superb.

Tat may be true, but they do get better, in my experience, with a few (3-6) months of humi time. I smoked a Quandrum pretty fresh and was disappointed with it. To each their own of course, but I like mine rested.

I had one right from the shop and I enjoyed it. Good cigars in my book. I have one in the humi that's been in there a few months. Probably will be good too. I'm on the fence about getting a box of them though, need to smoke a couple more. 200 is a bit much...

You seem to really be a box man! What's ur line of work, bro ? I have never in my life been able to buy a box... I can rarely afford half as well... My hurts crunches thinking about the Liberty split we are doing LOL...

phobicsquirrel

lol, no not really, though I do get boxes of cigars I like. seems to be cheaper than getting singles of a lot of them. I also do a bit of shopping around to get a good price.
