CIGAR REVIEW - ROMEO Y JULIETA TUBO LIMITED EDITION IS AN ALTADIS SMOKE AND YOU CAN TELL
February 2012 - Posted by The Cigar Intelligence Agency
CIGAR REVIEW - It has a name, a look, a feel but not the taste or what was sold as a top of the line cigar (when I ear that from a Cigar Club owner I put my walls up) with astonishing flavors and virtues. Well I am bored as hell and I am not really into this type of hyped up cigars.
I thank a dear friend for the gift but I am really not behind this cigar due to its overpriced nature.
It looks great, it looks fancy, etc. But no thank you.

CIGAR REVIEW - ALEC BRADLEY, FAMILY AFFAIR?
In my first hit-list of 2010... I had to light up an Alec Bradley Family Blend. So far AB cigars rank on my top 10 and this family blend is fairly good.
Not as insane as the Tempus by taste or as stylish as a 7 inch Vice Press ( both smoked about minutes after midnight on NYE!!! ) but just a balanced smoke.
You can still feel the AB spice in this smoke with that unique flavor to it. Its more discrete than Tempus but the work and quality of the overall cigar is as usual excellent. 84-85%
TOTAL = 83% (Grade Updated 08/19/2012)(-Down)
RECOMMENDED = YES

CIGAR REVIEW - YES TO ROCKY PATEL OLDE WORLD!
After days without reviewing anything new... I am back and decided to light up this top shelve fellow. This is a ROCKY PATEL "Olde World Reserve". It's a super wooden maduro wrapper, box pressed cigar.
Presentation and manufacturing is near perfect. No vains, decent smooth draw as I expected. This smoke is good on paper but still needs and extra little something that is missing. Gets a 83%.
TOTAL = 83%
RECOMMENDED = YES
