Alec Bradley Tempus Terra Novo

[elderboy02]

Date: 8/22/09

Cigar: Alec Bradley Tempus Terra Novo (5 x 50)

Cost: $6.25

Drink: Coca-Cola (The best cola)

Appearance: This has a corojo/criollo wrapper on it. There were no veins showing. This is a double banded cigar. The appearance gets a 9/10



Pre-Light: It has a dark tobacco taste to it. I can't really describe it.

Construction: Held a very long ash. I only had to ash the cigar a couple times. The draw was perfect. This is a very densely packed cigar. It took me double the time it normally takes me to smoke a robusto. The cigar required only a few minor touchups because I am very picky about having a cigar burn perfectly.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar has a woodsy and nutty flavor to it. It also had a sweet flavor at certain points.









Strength: This is a medium-full bodied cigar.

Summary: This cigar was pretty darn good. I would definitely buy these again. I give it a 8/10.

elderboy02, as always, love the review. Keep them coming.

I'm also a fan of the Tempus. Had the Magistri vitola not too long ago -- quite good.

I'm a Tempus fan as well. Have only tried to vitolas, though, so more research is required

I'm not a big Alec Bradley fan but the Tempus has to be one of his better blends...good review!
