Alec Bradley Cigars Chunk Maduro in Review

BRAND: Alec Bradley
BLEND: Chunk Maduro

WRAPPER: Mexican
BINDER: Honduran
FILLER: Dominican, Nicaraguan

FORMAT: Chunk (460)
ORIGIN: Honduras (HATSA)
INTENSITY: Medium-full
SPICE: 3/5

NOTES:
Black pepper sauce | Coffee concentrate | Diet Cola

A flat-warm saccharin-laced cola is prominent-cloying. See rest of italics above, add to that a diesely-school-paste finish. Toasted-to-scorched, unrepentantly-so. Almost admirably-so, off a tight-tightening draw.

TASTE: B-
DRAW: B
BURN: B+
BUILD: B

I took its awkwardly-handling and mouthing size into Build consideration; this is me noting perhaps my own druthers at play there.

FINAL GRADE: B
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79
