  • @jimzielanski8045
    @jimzielanski8045 2 месяца назад +2

    Anthony, As I most always agree with your assessments, I cannot agree on Alec Bradley. I purchased an All Star Sampler from Holts some months back and checking my personal notes I rated the magic toast the lowest rating I have given a cigar in years and it had to do with a "weird" flavor I got from it such as some kind of metallic note. Not good. I also had the family blend which had poor construction and it was a hassle just trying to keeping it burning. I ended up tossing it. The Prensado has been good and the AB Connecticut was very good but I think I am over AB. On an unrelated note I did enjoy a Davidoff Aniversario #1 Limited Edition ( a gift ) with some Blue Spot 7 year cask strength for St. Paddys day and it was delightful. I have a bunch of relatives in "P" town this week. I hope a few shall pop by Holts for some cigars or Ashtons for some relaxation. Keep up the good work and best regards, JZ

    Straight to the point. 4/10. Taste is/was/isn't then is, then isn't pretty good. When it's good, it's great.
    Then came the completely hollow center parts and the canoing like you're hitting the lake. The burn on this thing is about the worst I've smoked. I mean hollowed out.
    It wasn't until well over halfway the burn sort of evened out. By then the flavor was almost off-putting. I laid this to rest with over ⅓ left.
