"Poorly constructed...tunneling"
Alec Bradley Tempus Medius 6
Bought a 5 pack of these to try and I have to say, I was disappointed. The flavors seemed to be there, but I had a rough time keeping the first one lit. Seriously under-filled.. tunneled so bad and after the 4th re-light, I tossed it into the street about halfway thru. My only hope is that the other four will perform better.

"A STONE GROOVE"
Alec Bradley Tempus Terra Novo
Bought it and smoked it on the spot. This is a powerfull smoke, but I likes them that way so I was well pleased. It had complexity and depth and I was sorry to see it end

"Not Impressed"
Alec Bradley Tempus Centuria
I am not impressed with this cigar. It actually is a let down being an Alec Bradley. Nice looking cigar but no flavor and a bad burn also. It's a let down. The price needs to be dropped way down on this.This is not a premium smoke. Great look but no taste.

"Nice flavor but very inconsistent burn"
Alec Bradley Tempus Terra Novo
A very nice and flavorful smoke but extremely uneven burn throughout.

"Disappointing!"
Alec Bradley Tempus Terra Novo
Bought a 5 pack to try these out as I am a big fan of Alec Bradley, Overture, Maxx, and Family Blend. These cigars are very attractive to look at but after about the sixth relight and horrible draw the appeal of the pretty looks and wonderful Honduran smoke wears thin. I thought it might just be a bad one but I have smoked 3 now and yet to finish one. So I think I will take a pass on these next time and stick to Alec's other brands

"Not bad after a rest in the humidor"
Alec Bradley Tempus Terra Novo
First one I had did not impress at all. After some time in the humi, I decided to try the second one. Not bad, but not great. Both had some burn problems. Draw was okay on the second one. Flavor was decent, but with a bit of bitterness. It was a decent smoke, worth finishing, but probably not worth having again.

"Fantastic!!"
Alec Bradley Tempus Magistri Maduro
Where do I start? This one has it all,cedar and vanilla ,to notes of mocha and leather,superbly constructed, really firm but with the easiest draw you can imagine, even the label is beautiful. The AB Tempus line are as good as any cigar out there and far better than many that are traditionally touted as the "elite of the cigar world"

"WOW WOW WOW - but please see specific details."
Alec Bradley Tempus Terra Novo
I bought a box of these in December of 2009 when they were a very limited release. I tore the wrapper off the box and OMG! There are some gorgeous cigars out there, but I do not think a person can appreciate how utterly beautiful this cigar is. So how did it taste? Exotic? Spicy? Full Bodied? Smooth? ALL of the above and then some. I can only imagine what several months of aging will do to this cigar. I was willing to take the risk and not touch another one until now. This will be my after Thanksgiving dinner cigar. The AB Tempus Centuria is worth its given CA rating and I think this Magistri Maduro (original limited release) is well worth 90 rating.

"Deliciously complex...especially when well rested."
Alec Bradley Tempus Terra Novo
These have become one of my top 5 within the last year... I have not experienced the burn problems to the extent that some of these reviews have stated- occasionally it has had to be corrected, but for the most part it's been pretty decent. The draw is above average. The flavor?!! I have had them after resting for a couple months, and found them to be quite good. After 6 mos. I would say they're quite amazing! Wonderful notes of dark chocolate and espresso, while still a bit earthy. The creamy smoke has just the perfect amount of balance between the earthiness and the hint of sweetness on the finish. All in all a GREAT smoke to let sit in the humi for a while. Age really tends to bring out the distinctive flavors while also mellowing out any of the "acrid" or "acidic" flavors. I must try, but for the BEST experience at least 6 mos. in the humi.

"nice burning tasty cigar"
Next
I bought a couple to try and have bought more at my favorite cigar spot. This is a great cigar for when you don't have a hour or more to spend. A good tasting cigar that last about 45 minutes. This one is bordering strong but still in the medium class. One of my buds thinks it is a bit bitter but I'm not sure he stored it correctly. I think they are consistent with the other AB's I've smoked
