Alec Bradley American Sun Grown Blend

The AB Mixologist, aka Snappy Bigman, has been through town, and the Alec Bradley stocks on local humidor shelves are plentiful. 'Chuno how that goes. He also was amenable to lunch with a couple of us locals, and spread some AB love around  by stopping our gobs with these American Sun Grown treats.

Alec Bradley's branding has come a long ways from the old Trilogy and Ovation  labels, now sporting larger, classier labels with the the crowned 'AB' badge. Presentation is nice, but it's really the icing on some great tasting cigars.

After clipping the cap, I get a nice peppery spice on the lips from the Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, and nice earth and leather notes from the aroma of the unlit foot.

Heat the foot and go, I get some nice, almost medium-bodied leathery wood flavors, with just a touch of earth and a little spice. The spice hums in the background while the leather and wood take on an occasional citrus tone.

I like these a bit better than the American Classic, as the Sun Grown's wrapper adds a nice earthy heat to the blend. Great flavor, and at a $6-7 price tag, these are a good deal.
