Alec Bradley Tempus Centuria
So after reading the wonderful review in CA, I decided to grab a couple of these to try them for myself. I've never been a huge fan of AB smokes, but I figured I'd give this one a shot.

I was VERY impressed. Dark, chocolaty looking wrapper. A wonderful aroma of roasted coffee.

The cigar started off very mellow with a touch of sweet tobacco. It evolved into flavors of nuts and creamy coffee almost like espresso.

It finished with a little more strength, but still medium bodied.

I really liked this cigar. I may grab a box for myself.

It doesn't have a tremendous kick so if you like more full-bodied smokes, I'd say you probably won't enjoy this.

I encourage anyone who enjoys a medium bodied smoke with good flavor to give this a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The first one I smoked was FULL-bodied with a strong presence of cracked black pepper and a hint of creme.

My only concern is that when CA hits the stands, that 94 point score will make them harder to find or higher in price.

Did they only make 1000 boxes of these?

I have only had two, so cannot give a positive strength assessment, but I thought they were on the high side of medium-full. I completely enjoyed the flavor profile, and will be buying a box of these.

I smoked one that was sent to me by mark. I was very impressed stronger side of medium with a little pepper in the flavor profile. Definitly would like to get some more.

I agree that this is a very nice, higher end of the medium full bodied spectrum with great flavor. I bought a box and enjoy them very much.
