Cigar Pairing: Alec Bradely Trilogy Exotic Maduro

First up in Alec Bradely's Trilogy Series, the Exotic Maduro - and let me tell you, looks can be deceiving.

Full disclosure, I had a really bad smoke the last time I partook so the fact that this cigar doesn't have weird flavors and is consistent through the second and third and all together relaxing is a huge plus right now. And while she may be lighter hued than most maduros. She's Smooth and rich with very balanced notes of leather, tobacco, brown sugar and tahini. Paired with the 6 year bourbon white chocolate and vanilla creaminess comes through with just a hint of baking spice and a minty herbal note I can't quite place.

While it might not be making huge waves you will not be disappointed with this smoke along side our bourbon. Just know you're going to have a good time which these days, like a warm comforting hug, is something we all need. A light cigar perfect as we wrap up summer.
