Alec Bradley sticks

smitty81 · 02-28-2012, 10:48 AM

Are they good any good?

I was gonna try for a sampler sometime.

DaBear · 02-28-2012, 10:53 AM

I love the Family Blends, the SCRs are a nice change of pace, the Tempus Maddies are fantastic, the Prensados aren't bad but have a tight draw, and I haven't had the other one in that sampler

ktblunden · 02-28-2012, 10:57 AM

I like the Tempus and the Prensado. Not a fan of the others. I haven't noticed bad draws from Prensado,

Blak Smyth · 02-28-2012, 10:57 AM

The Family Blend wasn't bad, kinda mild from what I remember.
The Prensado was cA's #1 for 2011, with much controversy.
I have one I am planning to try soon.

I'm a fan of the Prensado and the Tempus maduro. The Prensado should not have been the #1 cigar of '11; however, I think it is a very good smoke and deserves to be in the top 25.

Go for it Josh, I have not had a bad AB yet, and I have heard their 2nds are also pretty good.

I dig the regular & maduro Tempus. Sun Growns are very tasty too.

I've never had an AB that I liked enough to buy again

They carry the plague. You shouldn't even look at the ads.

How about smoking the cigar and finding out if you like it, or not? I'm not inside your head.

Islayphile · 02-28-2012, 11:51 AM

You really need to try them in order to get your answer.

On paper, I should LOVE the Tempus and I don't care for it at all

You gotta give them a go to know

plague?

Just wanted some opinions on the stick, that's all. Sorry to have bothered you with my question.

Lighten up, Francis.
NCRadioMan's advice is spot on.

As said try them and find out. Everyones taste is different..

There are a few AB's that I really like and there are also a few I don't like too.

Doesn't bother me, it's just that you can ask the same question about any cigar and it will be followed by a "thumbs up". Most of the folks that don't like that cigar will not say anything because they know others do, and the person asking the question might. In the end, it's a biased, invalid question on these fourms.

Here are a few threads you might like. I don't know about you but I love the search function!

Is tofu good? you may hate it someone else may love it. Just do it man. I am to the point where I have smoked a couple-few hundred cigars and really have just started to figure out what I like.

The majority of cigar smokers wont smoke infused/flavored cigars, But you still buy them and smoke them right? you know you like them because you have tried them. Thats the way it should be! If we don't try something on a couple bad reviews eventually you will never try anything. Hell I smoked a Ron Mexico the other day and kinda liked it!.

GO FOR IT!!!!!!

More than you love Alec Bradley?

I've enjoyed the Tempus lancero in the past and smoked a Tempus Centuria (churchill) on Sunday that had been laying around for a few years that tasted just like chocolate to me. Kind of one-dimensional and didn't change much, but hey, what's wrong with a little chocolate smoke for about 2 hours.
