Default Alec Bradley Overture

I'm considering purchasing a box of the AB Overture's. I' only tried the Tempus and I love them. Has anyone tried the overture's here? I'm looking for some brotherly, and sisterly, input. Please help. Comments?

That'd be swell Justin. Thanks. Thanks to both of you for the input. Anyone else? I'd like some more insight into this matter.

Why not pick up a 5er (or a few singles) first to see if you like them?

Normally I would but boxes go as low as $90 and right now they come with a free table top lighter. I'm a sucker for freebies! I also have a different box in cart right now from Monster. So if I get both I'll get the little bonus Shwag.
Good suggestion though. Thanks.

The Tempus is the only one of his cigars I would smoke on a regular basis that I have tried, but I have not smoked all his cigars

You can never have too many cigars, they are like an investment in good times.

Alright so I was a little bias from the start. I'm not a huge fan of AB like most people. To me they are mediocre cigars, nothing too special. If you enjoyed the Tempus then you should give this a try. Like most Bradleys, the construction on their cigars are excellent, I give him that. This stick is more of a medium-full body and as I recall the burn was excellent.

It's a good smoke ... It aint gonna make you go WOW ...But it's a damn good smoke.
I scored mine for $49. a box, Would I pay full price? ...Prob. not.
But that's just me ... I'm about as cheap as they come.

I agree. I think for the price of $49 on Monster, you wont find a better deal on a box of cigars. The only AB cigar I like is the Tempus and the Overture reminds me of it alot, I think its a little stronger.
I have a few to trade. PM me if you are interested in trying a few before you commit to a box.

I picked up a 5'er from Monster earlier instead of the whole shebang. It sounds like they might just be alright though. Thanks for the help of those who posted comments and to Travis for the offer.
