Ode to Alec Bradley
I've been a fan of the Havana Sun Growns for awhile. I tried the occidental double maduros and they are quite good. I was at the smoke shop the other day and I noticed they had Alec Bradley Premium Blends on the shelf. At $2 a smoke I thought I would try out a couple. They aren't the best smoke I've had, but they are better than some of the "super premium" cigars I've tried. Other than the Havana Sun Growns and the prymes - all their smokes are bundle smokes. They are good and cheap - a quality that you gotta love. I'm quickly becoming a fan of these for everyday cheap smokes.

I've been burning through the Havana Sun Growns quite a bit lately as well. I need to try some of the others AB has to offer.

The HSG's are a great smoke. Especially the first release Very hard to beat for the price

I like the Ovation line. A little more kick than the regular Trilogy.
The Ovation Maduro are great. Oh yeah, Very nice boxes as well |

The Trilogy Corojo Torp USED to be my favorite Sunday around the house smoke (Im a bachelor, I can get away with it )
But the Trilogy Ovation Corojo is MUCH better. It has a much more flavorfull character. Try them side by side if you get the chance. Big Alec Bradley fan here -Dave
