Smoked: Alec Bradley Tempus

Smoked at: My Balcony

Recommended by an Alec Bradley rep at a local B&M. I had two of these in a sampler that I tucked in a humidor for about three months. Decided to try this stick out while the sun was out to help with the cold. Presentation was great with good construction and decorative banding. I got a lot of earth notes and very wood dominant draws in the first third. Some slight cocoa in the retrohale.

Second third was a very nice leather and wood character and it’s draw is very easy with lots of smoke. A lot of great flavor with some pepper as well. The ash was almost pure white and had some hang time. This is my new favorite of the AB line but tastes change so I guess I’ll have to keep smoking.
