Alec Bradley Tempus

Since the mid-2000s, Alec Bradley's Tempus has stood as one of the brand's most celebrated blends, earning a No. 5 Cigar of the Year nod from a top aficionado magazine. The name means "time" in Latin, a fitting tribute to the 7-year aged Honduran Criollo '98 Viso wrapper that sets the natural version apart. The maduro swaps in a dark Mexican San Andrés leaf, and both dress up a core of Nicaraguan and Honduran Criollo '98 and Corojo '99 Ligero and Viso long-fillers.

Medium-full in body, Tempus moves through toasted nuts, earthy leather, and warm baking spice with a balance that never tips harsh. It's a modern classic that still earns its shelf space more than a decade later. Pick up a 5-pack and find out why this one has staying power.
