Alec Bradley Select Cabinet Reserve

Had an opportunity to get one of these a couple of weeks ago....

Alec Bradley Select Cabinet Reserve


Wrapper: Honduran Trojes
Binder: Indonesia
Filler: Honduras, Nicaraguan

Shape: Robusto
Size:
5 X 50
Draw:
Perfect
Burn:
Great
Construction:
Superb


This is one fine cigar! I was blown away by the complexity of this cigar. Medium to Full-Bodied with A TON of spice! I'm going to have to smoke a couple more to make a final judgement, but this cigar might be better than the Tempus!

I haven't even seen those at the B&M, sounds like I need to keep an eye out.
Thanks for the review

Re: Alec Bradley Select Cabinet Reserve

Well, done! Im getting really tempted by some of the AB stuff. This and Tempus look like the place to start.

Re: Alec Bradley Select Cabinet Reserve

Thx for another picture review David! Were there any other flavors other than the spice? This is actually the 1st I have heard of this cigar.

Great review, I had my fist AB the other night, it was a Harvest Selection 1997 and was really good.

Re: Alec Bradley Select Cabinet Reserve

My B&M just got these this week! They felt really damp and spongy so I will let it rest a week or so before I smoke. Can't hardly wait!
