Review Notes: Last week at the Raven's game, I graciously gave a fellow tailgater a Avo (XO), and a Punch (Gran Puro)......this week he returned the favor, as he gave me a Alec Bradley, and a Hoya de Mont.(Excalib.).......I certainly appreciated the H de M......but, I lost on the other half of the deal.....I found the Alec B. to be harsh, and very acidic. It had a good draw....that is all I can say.......other than that... I was extremely disappointed, and didn't believe all of the previous reviews.....this cigar was just bad!!!!! I only smoked 1/2 of it...b/c it was horrible. There are many other, much better- medium priced cigars on the market. It tasted, smelled, and reminded me of the cigars that you can buy at the grocery store, or 7-11. I'll take a 'Philly' Blunt" or a "White Owl" before I have this one again. Just Bad!
