Alec Bradley Tempus Medius 6: before lighting the cigar up, herbal aromas can be perceived, while the first draws are mainly nutty (walnut).
The first third is still reminiscing of walnuts, joined by slightly peppery and piquant flavors. Moving on, wood becomes the main taste, alternating with nutmeg and refined black tea. Strenght is medium bodied (3/5).
In the second third the wood is side by side with hazelnut, and a light coffee aroma appears. From mid-point on a malted note joins, balancing out the increasing strength (3,5/5).
In the final third nuts and wood are still alternating; the background is reporting the herbal, black tea flavor. After a few draws the smoke changes, and it is now characterized by coffee, aromatic herbs and light leathery notes on a spicy (white pepper) background, lasting up to the end. Strength is slightly higher than medium (3,5/5).
The cigar is overall characterized by herbal flavors, which are pleasantly alternating; for the entire smoke a sweet aftertaste is left on the lips. Evolution is remarkable, with piquant and malt notes, which are revitalizing the generally sweet fruition. Burn is uneven, and a couple of corrections are required. After-smoke persistency is average, with a mix of wood, black tea and white pepper.
