Alec Bradley Tempus - Cigar Links Edition 19
By Jesse | August 29, 2008 |
Well it has been awhile since I’ve done a cigar links wrap up so I thought I’d resurrect it for one of my favorite new cigars to come out this year. Originally I got to try the Alec Bradley Tempus just before it was released and really enjoyed it. My local shop recently picked up the Tempus and I got a chance to try the Lancero. The small ring gauge really seems to intensify the flavors and I’m loving it. Unfortunately my shop doesn’t carry anything else by Alec Bradley at the moment so I’ll have to seek some of their other stuff out online.
A few other reviews of the Alec Bradley Tempus.
David Savona of Cigar Aficionado met with Alec Bradley and lit up the Lancero.
The Daily Doormatt enjoyed the cigar, but thought the 94 rating by Cigar Insider was a bit generous. He considers it more of a 90 to 91.
Her Humidor enjoyed the flavor of the corona.
Cigar Monkey seems to have gotten hold of a bad one. I’m tempted to send him one to see if he has better luck.
Brian over at Stogie Review thought it was a stellar smoke.
Zen Cigar seems to have some construction issues with theirs also.
A guest video review over at Stogie Review also featured the Alec Bradley Tempus.
A couple of people seemed to run into some construction issues. I have no idea how many they smoked prior to reviewing the cigar. I know most of us prefer to smoke two or three sticks at least before making a decision. I’ve had about 10 Tempus in different vitolas and haven’t run across any major issues.

Jesse — that’s actually another review site that uses the same template as Keepers of the Flame. I guess we shop at the same store.

Loved the taste of the Tempus but each cigar had burn or construction issues. The only reason I did not pitch the cigars was the taste was overwhelmingly fanatastic. I hope they fix the construction because I would buy this as an everyday cigar.
