Yes, this is that cigar. The blend garnered a lot of attention at this year’s IPCPR for being the first cigar shot into space. And unless you can tell me that shooting a cigar into space makes the blend better, I could really care less. Regardless, I still felt the need to try the cigar because of all the goodwill the brand has built up with all of their legendary blends.

PL#5 (5.1”x52): The blend is described as being loaded with ligero leaves and it proves that right out of the gate. Notes of a dark espresso and leather are prevalent up front while hints of spice are present on the finish. After about half an inch, the cigar mellows and gives off more of a medium to full-bodied profile. To me, it’s definitely not a complex cigar and tastes a little bit like everything else that Alec Bradley makes. That being said, tasting like every other Alec Bradley isn’t really a bad thing but when you factor in all the great blends they’ve made.
