La Perla Habana Morado Robusto - havent tried it yet
ACID Opulence 3 by Drew Estate Robusto (Single) - didnt care for it
Perdomo Reserve 10th Champagne Epicure (Single) - didnt care for it
Alec Bradley Tempus Quadrum (box-press) (Single) - quite enjoyable


Probably could have waited until you tried the La Perla. I mean, it’s not like any of them are brand new….

Or in simpleton terms he needs to do little better job of explaining what exactly they tasted like . I will not give an example at this current state I am in. Maybe tomorrow if I think about it.

A peppery, earthy smoke with a woody undertone followed by rich layers of German Chocolate cake and hints of cinnamon and vanilla, followed up with a touch of clove on the finish. Herfing

Zero effort with these reviews.

Sheer laziness and showing the community that they lack the wisdom and the ability to convey a cigar review.

Alec Bradley Tempus Quadrum (box-press) (Single) - quite enjoyable, it didnt seem to have a dead cat taste to it, very smooth, not a harsh bite like the first two i tried. i was looking forward to each puff.

oh yeah, walnuts and herbs.

I'd say get a few of the Alec Bradley since you know you like them, but explore super dark colored ones as a good point to find what else you might like.

oliva connecticut reserve

initially a nice woody smoke. started to burn fast and uneven and taste weird. wasnt too bad during the home stretch

overall rating: 4.7/10

im sure if the oliva spies on this forum saw this post and sent me some freebies i would change my rating
