Alec Bradley the Maxx

Cigar: Alec Bradley Maxx


Size: The Fix 5 x 58

Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano

Binder: Costa Rica

Filler: Columbia, Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras

This cigar came in a 10 pack of Honduran large ring cigars I bought on CI.  Although it started off a bit spicey in the foot, the cigar became smooth and tasty after the first 1/4 inch or so.  It keep that smoothness all the way to the nub, even after 2 relights.  The Maxx at 58 ring guage is a large cigar that I am beginning to really enjoy, as they stay cooler, and as a cigar chewer it is a delight!  The flavor profile included coffee and a hint of cocoa, but also had a tough of pepper.  I usual do not care for a spicey cigar, but this one had just the right amount, just an RCH.  Not in the 5 vegas 'A' class but darn good.  This is a cigar I would look for as a CI or Cigar.com special.
