Anybody got the code breaker????

Alec Bradley factory 2nds

Only info on c-bid description is cigar style. IE torpedo, robusto Petite Corona.

IS there a way to tell/ find out what cigar blend I m buying???? Presado, Raices, Tempus ETC.....

Even the old Rocky patels 2nds had labels that you could key back to what blend they were.

IE liga A was Edge
Liga B was Sungrown
Liga C was Old World REserve

etc.....

HELP

No code.


These are AB 2nds in specific sizes, no blend acknowledged.

Bear in mind, AB FIRSTS have burn and construction issues more often than they should. And I like them more than many here......

I've never even had an Alec Bradley - am I missing anything?
All the body choices and new cigars coming out all the time has seemed too much like Rocky Patel to me.

Read an article where they admitted they lost some quality control in rush to meet demand. Heavy culling has resulted in lots of seconds. Floor sweepings are saved for short filler gars. My experience on these are hit or miss.

Not judging from what you post in the what you smoking thread. They would be several notches below your regular smokes imo.

Was my impression but I wanted to check. Thanks for the info.
Whenever a cigar maker has more cigars than flavors of ice cream I tend not to like them, they end being like RP or Ghurka to me.
