Alec Bradley Black Market

I was looking forward to trying this as I really enjoy the AB Tempus, and supposedly, they’re similar in tastes despite using different tobacco’s. This Black Market is part of an AB Sampler from cigar.com.

The taste is initially a black-licorice sweet enveloped in a sweet creamy texture with some definite notes of cedar and a tobacco quality. Retrohaling reveals a more woody, cedar cents with some smoked-meat undertones. The taste is never harsh or too hot.

The aroma is pronounced with a rich, lush chocolaty-sweet scent with some mild herbal and tobacco notes. The smoke is light to the nose and not very hot and produces an average thick cloud.

Another very good cigar from Alec Bradly, this may be a maduro but it’s sweet all around and mild in strength. A strong contender to the Tempus, I may do a comparison smoke between the two sometime.
