VICE PRESS by Alec Bradley Review

VICE PRESS by Alec Bradley



This is one monster of a cigar! If you like 'em BIG with TONS of smoke, this cigar is for you....

Wrapper:
Nicaragua
Binder: Costa Rica
Filler: Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico
Shape: Robusto
Size: 5 X 64 (6T4)
Draw: Perfect
Burn: Great
Construction: Great

Personally, I am not a fan of BIG ring gauge cigars (60+), but it is a very cool-burning smoke due to its size. Taking the SIZE out of the equation, it's a great smoke. It's medium-bodied with the first 1/3 tasting like toasted nuts and coffee. At the 2/3 mark, it's dark cocoa, and the last 1/3 still has a lot of dark cocoa flavors with bitter sweet chocolate and toasted nuts.

Smoking time: 2 hours and 15 minutes

Nice Review, thanks for the pics. Not a fan of the real big ring gauges either but don't mind them every now and then.

Re: VICE PRESS by Alec Bradley Review

Nice review. I used to be a fan of big ring gauge cigars, but they seem to have more burn problems & less flavor. So now I smoke mostly smaller ring gauges.

Re: VICE PRESS by Alec Bradley Review

I had these when they were in the 6 inch sized box pressed vitola a few years ago, was a good smoke then and from the sound of your review a good smoke now.

Kind of disappointed they shortened the size to 5 inches, but seems like they kept the deliciousness of that stick.
