Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... i know it has been forever. Besides running the Art show, prepping for the Film Festival, Pastoring a Church, Cooking for some private chef events, being a daddy and a husband... i have been doing a crazy number of weddings in the last couple of months.


This month alone, i did 4!
Which is kind of my inspiration for this posting.

I had the privilege of performing the ceremony for good friends Jeff and Cynthia De la Cruz last weekend at the Fl Aquarium. During the Rehearsal dinner Jeff Reminded me that i have been slacking on my Long Ash Postings.

You see Jeff is a fellow Cigar Connoisseur, now even though i haven't posted in like 5 months, i promise i have had the pleasure of tasting some great cigars.

As favors to all of us in the wedding Jeff bestowed upon us some of Alec Bradley's Finest... of for the not so subtle prodding and the great gift... i write this Review.

Alec Bradley "Tempus": (Genesis 42 x 5 1/2)

Now i had yet to try anything by AB even though i had heard great reviews, and even though a standard 6x 60 is my size of choice... this "Genesis" was one little firecracker!

I got to enjoy with a good buddy of mine who showed up unexpectantly, so we broke in this great Fl weather together.

All in all it was a WOW smoke, they have made a believer out of me.

Burn: Even and Consistent
Draw: it was a little on the tight side, although nothing uncomfortable.
Flavor: It tasted very earthy with hints of licorice, and a nutty finish. Very smooth taste!
Plume: Medium, the right amount of heaviness for those perfect smoke rings.
Ash: medium grey
Overall: i would give it a 8 out of 10 (even if its not my size of choice)
Price: 7.25- 8.50$
Label: Gold, Plum and Silver.
