Alec Bradley Tempus Short Review
Allright, I'm going to step on some toes here, but I'm going to come right out and say it. I tried an Alec Bradley Tempus robusto cigar two weekends ago, and I'm going to say this: Its not a 94 Cigar. I Don't care what CI says, this is the blandest cigar I've ever tasted. Which, considering that my first smokes were Factory 57 Rejects, is saying something. Pending another review, my initial thoughts on this cigar are pretty sad. Now two of my business partners tried the lancero and thought that it was a pretty decent cigar. Maybe I just got a bad one, Maybe its just the robusto shape that changes the taste. But there was nothing special about the cigar, I Likened it to smoking what we called back on the farm 'pig weed', a particular brand of fireweed that will grow anywhere, and has the nastiest sap smell I have ever come across. My personal rating on the Tempus is a 75, and thats pushing it. The entire cigar was bland from start to finish, there was no tobacco taste, there was no intricacy, hell, there was no strength. Even the MAXX was better than this, in my opinion, and I didn't like that one either. Alec, You disappoint me, you really had a chance to make your first really good mainstream cigar, instead you shuffled a different kind of tobacco over to CA, and they gave you a stupidly high rating in return.
