Tried the Alec Bradley Spirit of Cuba, courtesey of either Boss hog or CJ.

Really nice afternoon smoke and one of the better NC I have smoked, if i am honest.

I would consider a box of these, even although I know nothing about the brand at all.

I was gifted one of these by Deano (ty!). My one was a lil bast, really bad lighting issues, It offered poor smoke volume, and not much depth at all. Maybe I just got a wrongun, but it didn't leave a good impression. I won't rule out AB though, as the MAXX series is pretty damn good.

Next time maybe i'll have similar luck to you :D

Behold, the 90-rated Select Cabinet Reserve....Alec Bradley’s highly acclaimed follow-up to the 94-rated Tempus. This special handmade utilizes the highest priming tobaccos available from select fields throughout Central America. A dark Honduran wrapper with a beautiful reddish hue conceals a vintage recipe of premium Nicaraguan and Honduran long-fillers. This superior combination imparts an elegant array of buttery-smooth nuances enhanced by notes of toast, nuts, and sweet spices. The smoke is medium in body throughout the slow burn, producing a savory ‘n complex experience you’ll quickly add to your daily routine.
Just bought 2 of these by A B can't wait to recieve them!
My how he has come a long way.
The tempus is a dynimite cigar and the reviews are even better for the Select Cabinet Reserve
Will post review as soon as I smoke it.

Having looked around (at adverts) and then read up on certain NC brands, the ABs were added to my list of NCs to stock if I ever get my little cigar store. They remain on that list. :)

I picked up 10 Alec Bradley S.C.R yesterday from C.I. I hope they are as good as the Tempus. Looking forward to your review.

I'm partial to The Medalist, myself. Gordo. Big, honking cigar. Two+ hour smoke. Absolutely delicioso, with a lovely draw, billows of smoke, and a wonderful aroma. Can be had for a very reasonable $3.50 or so USD (about £2) for a packet of 10.
