I smoked it at Shelly's while hanging out with some of my cigar smoking Twitter friends like Evan, Bird and Brett. I gave it a V cut and paired it with Bud Light.
It had a great draw from the beginning thru the first third and then got a little tight. So I then straight cut it in hopes of opening it up more. It worked. It was a great smoke. Awesome full flavor, medium to full strength. Great draw after straight cutting. No construction issues. Loved it. A finger burner for sure!
From CigarsInternational.com:
A 94-rated masterpiece.
Here it is, quite possibly the crowning achievement of Alec Bradley Cigars. Tempus is truly boutique, right down to the tobaccos used. The Habano-seed wrapper hails from a small tobacco field located on the border of Nicaragua and Honduras, capturing the rich, hearty flavors of Honduras. This leaf is dark and leathery, and conceals a complex mixture of Cuban-seed long-fillers grown in both Nicaragua and Honduras. The cigar explodes with rich, but smooth flavors noting toasted wood and nuts. The finish is long and peppery with an enjoyable sweetness.
Thanks to a well-deserved ’94’ rating, the Alec Bradley Tempus was named one of the Top 25 Cigars of the Year!
"Dark and attractive with an effortless draw, this cigar produces a rich, semisweet smoke, leaving balanced impressions of wood and nuts. Big, delicious flavor."
