The Tempus Maduro by Alec Bradley is a bolder take
of the original Tempus series which was born out of a desire to create a cigar
from tobaccos that were nurtured slowly by Mother Nature rather than rushed
through production. This idea is wonderfully captured with the Tempus Maduro
Centuria which delivers a deep structure that could not have been created
without proper aging and a little patience.
The Tempus Maduro Centuria is a grand 7” x 49
cigar that features at its heart a lush blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan filler
tobaccos. This blend is stuffed into a Honduran binder leaf and a luxuriously
dark Maduro wrapper leaf from Mexico to create a big and vigorous hour and half
or so experience.
Once the Alec Bradley Tempus Maduro Centuria is
aflame, thick espresso and earth flavors swirl over the palate and tango with
savory wood and spice notes. Lively pepper nuances add some muscular depth to
the full-bodied smoke that finishes with a divinely voluptuous and lingering
flourish.
The Alec Bradley Tempus Maduro Centuria is a cigar
that has rocketed to the top of many aficiondos’ favorite list and will surely
find a place of honor in your humidor. For a truly relaxing expedition enjoy
the Tempus Maduro Centuria after an extravagant feast that features braised
beef in mole sauce and with a hearty Mezcal.
