Alex's Private Blend (Cigar Bundles of Miami)
 

I buy from this Miami cigar shop a few times a year and have yet to be disappointed. Their cigars are top notch as is their customer service.

One of the owners of the shop had this cigar made recently. It's a maduro wrapper with Nicaraguan and Honduran filler. Size isn't listed but it looks like a typical torpedo size; I'd guess it at 6 X 50. Nice looking wrapper, nice weight to the cigar, good draw.

First few draws...sweet cocoa and a bit of spice. The aroma coming from the foot is a typical 'cigar' smell.

About 1" in...similar flavors and aromas, with the "strength" kicked up just a notch. This cigar is tasting really fantastic. Minor burn correction.

About 2" in...similar flavors and aromas, but a bit of a woodsy flavor has come in through the nose. This cigar is REALLY good. The flavor lingers on the palate between draws.

About halfway...not much of a change, but DAMN this cigar is good. And slow burning, too. I'm at over 45 min of smoking time at the halfway point.

A little past halfway...the woodsy flavor in the nose has subsided a bit, and the finish has taken on a tart flavor.

Toward the end...sweetness on the draw has intensified, as has the tartness on the finish. The woodsy flavor in the nose has been replaced with spice. I let 'er die at around 1.5" and well over an hour of smoking time.

Final thoughts...this cigar is a contender for the best cigar I've smoked so far in 2018. Around halfway through the cigar, I was ordering more. :ss

Great review and it has my mouth watering :dr I haven't had a cigar in almost two years and I almost want to pick this up just to try it.

Re: Alex's Private Blend (Cigar Bundles of Miami)
 

How many cigars come in the bundle? Couldn't find it on that page.

Re: Alex's Private Blend (Cigar Bundles of Miami)
 

"5". Just Ordered From The Site Phone# & Talked To Jackie. Apparently These Are " Pre-Release" & The Owner Wants To See What The Public Thinks Of Them. Seem To Be Great So Far!:D:tu

Greg...were they 28.99 or 38.99? Each time I got on the site, the price changed.

Re: Alex's Private Blend (Cigar Bundles of Miami)
 

28.99 If you just want the 5 pack but they have a couple of add on options.

+ $5 for a lighter w/punch
+ $10 for a mystery long filler 5 pack
+ $15 for the lighter w/punch & mystery 5 pack

Re: Alex's Private Blend (Cigar Bundles of Miami)
 

28.99, when you open the link it wants to send you a fiver of mystery sticks for an extra 10 bucks. Click on "just send me the sticks" option for the 28.99.

Opps, Jason beat me to it.

Thanks fellas. Must of missed that.

Re: Alex's Private Blend (Cigar Bundles of Miami)
 

almost 2 years since I have smoked a cigar but I did end up picking up a 5 pack just in case I get the urge to smoke a cigar one of these days

Re: Alex's Private Blend (Cigar Bundles of Miami)
 

Everything ok, Jason? If it's none of my business feel free to say just that, just get concerned when I hear that from a Brother.

Had a heart attack January of 2016 and had a couple up until July of 2016 and haven't had one since. The Doc says I can have one every now and then, I just haven't picked one up since. I get my fix by walking in the the local b&m and smell around every so often.

Mac: I Paid $28.99 + Shipping= $35.44

Re: Alex's Private Blend (Cigar Bundles of Miami)
 

Thank you for this info. The description you provide is mouth-watering. Just pulled the trigger on the 5-stick order to see how they are. Hopefully I'll have them for the 4th.

Thanks guys!
