Alec Bradley Tempus Nicaragua

If you wonder why Alec Bradley Cigars chose to come up with a new blend of the already celebrated, decorated, and famous Tempus, the resounding answer should be, "Why the heck not?" Tempus Nicaragua is a new style of Tempus that caters to different palates. Not quite as "in your face" as the original Tempus, Tempus Nicaragua consists of all Nicaraguan tobaccos—wrapper, filler, and binder. Unlike other Nicaraguan puros, however, Tempus Nicaragua puts more emphasis on flavor than raw strength. (Shop all Alec Bradley cigars) Tempus Nicaragua begins with a spicy blast at first light that quickly settles to a leathery, earthy dance across the palate. Hints of cedar and black cherry linger in the background while white pepper tickles the nose on the retrohale. For intermediate smokers looking to inch closer to the full-bodied category, Tempus Nicaragua makes a great bridge to cross over. It's medium-full-bodied and ultra-flavorful, yet never overpowering. Tempus Nicaragua pairs beautifully with bourbon and is comparable to its close Alec Bradley sister cigar, Nica Puro. Was the original Tempus too bold for you? If so, don't hesitate to grab a Tempus Nicaragua to gain a new perspective on this world-famous line of cigars.
