CIGAR REVIEW : Alec Bradley "Black Market Test #2


Alec Bradley "Black Market Test #2
April 2012 - Posted by The Cigar Intelligence Agency




















CIGAR REVIEW - We have been worried and investigating about this smoke. This is Alec Bradley's Black market. We reviewed this cigar a month ago and I went back to re-explore this cigar.



I regrouped my partners and asked them to have it another try.

We came up with the same conclusions: The smoke is decent but lacks of flavors. It does not assimilates with the overal quality of Alec Bradley. Something is missing here and we can't find what it is.



Insiders told us some technical issues were spotted on the very first smokes that shipped out but it is hard for us to classify this cigar as a top smoke.

One thing is sure it is bolder than most ABs and has a different wrapper quality than most cigars from the Dania, FL based company. 



We love Alec Bradley but CIA passes on this one.


TOTAL = Status Quo
RECOMMENDED = Fair
