#51: Cohiba Nicaragua and Alec Bradley Tempus Nicaragua

The cigars themselves are excellent. They were packaged to me boxed pressed. I do not like box pressed cigars at all. I would not have purchased them had I known they were box pressed. In the future I will purchase these fine cigars from another provider since you did not inform me some of these cigars would be shipped box pressed.

I love them, No need to say more!

great

Nice Smoke

two of my favorites

Very nice combo...get some

Two great cigars!

I liked the Cohiba I’m a fan of the Cohiba cigar line

Cohiba smoke favor was strong and flat.

Easy shipping and enjoyable

Very good cigars

Im really enjoying these terrific cigars. I also got a few Punch as well.

Tasty

Nice consistent smoke! Great flavor. Enjoyed the Alec Bradley more!

Great flavor and excellent burn for both. Rich and chocolatey. Good but. Not Dominican but the quality and flavor are there. Don’t hesitate to try these.

Great Smokes, even burn, smooth.

Excellent choice!!!

These are just great cigars! I plan on keeping these in my humador form now on! This pairing is also perfect. Some days I prefer a stogie with a bit less bite & the AB is just the morsel. Mostly though, I find myself running out of the Cohiba's first. That's because I just about always follow an AB with a C...just like they taught me in kindergarden!

Really smooth smoke

Super

Good clean fun

The Alec Bradleys are wonderful! Smooth and enjoyable smoke, a great surprise for me. However, my experience with the Cohibas has not been what I expected. Possibly overhyped in my head, but both these Nicaraguas and blue dot Cohibas left me wanting more. While there is no doubt that Cohibas are legendary, they are not for me.

Very nice!

X excellent cigars both a rate of 94

Cigars are perfect and they came fast when ordered.

Smooth and great tasting slow burning high quality cigars.

Cigars arrived faster than expected and great cigars for a great price

Great package

Every cigar Bradley is producing is terrific!!! My favorite is any of the black market cigars. The only way a black market cigar can taste bad is if you have a couple of Cubans before it!! He just produces great cigars!

Both excellent cigars. Had to double my order such a good purchase.

The customer service is great. If you have a problem they solve it.

Both excellent cigars, Cohiba quite strong and maybe harsh for some palates, Alec Bradley strong but a bit tamer. Enjoyed them both.

Great

Good cigars and great value

Excellent flavor. Good combination of tobacco. I like the pairing.

Alex Bradley was excellent cobhia was ok

Great !

Just Perfect

The Alec Bradley Nicaragua is simply marvelous as is the Cohiba. This is an excellent package deal.

My opinion, Best Of the Gentlemen’s Duece!

Great value. I actually like the Tempus better. Toothy wrapper, smooth burn.

The high quality and freshness plus the prices are great.

I was impressed by these!

I love both of these smokes, they are super tasty

These came in fresh and full of flavor. Good deal.

Good draw, consistent even burn, and excellent flavor.

Awesome combination for a bundle! Great value also for such great cigars.

Good smokes. Like the Cohiba the most

Both brands are amazing. Excellent sampler if you’re into medium to medium/full bodied Maduros.

We really enjoyed!!

Great flavor

Great smoke, well worth the price

Great cigars at a great price!

Great deal nice smokes

Excellent cigars ... Great price, great investment!

Enjoy both flavor and quality.

Both are great!

👍👍

Thanks

Alex Bradley was a nice contrast from the Cohiba. Excellent blend.

Bravo Bradley.

Great combo for a great price. Can't go wrong with this deal.

I bought this a a special from CI. Was a nice pleasant smoke. Very enjoyable while sitting outdoors relaxing.

This is a very good sampler. Both cigars burn very well and both are top notch. They pair nicely together.

Good smoke

For the $ these are high quality cigars

The AB was surprisingly better than the Cohiba. Both are great smokes for the money.

Love the Tempus Nicaragua. Excellent medium smoke.

All very good

I have enjoyed my cigars the price is nice and I enjoy not having to run all over looking for what I want and like the taste is great

👍👍👍

Smooth nice smoke will reorder for sure

Wow these are both great!!! I love good cigars and these get it done!

I’ve bought this sampler for a long time. Both a very good cigars, and I always said my favorite was the Cohiba. But after smoking both for a while, I’ve changed my mind. The flavors in the Alec Bradley are hard to beat even with high dollar smokes. You’ll get the occasional stem that’ll taste bad for an inch now and then, but I’ve had the same type problem in eight to nine dollar cigars. For under five, it’s a no brainer.

I mean C’mon man five Cohiba and five Tempus Nics for a nice price.

Enjoyed both of these cigars immensely. At 49.99 at the time of purchase it’s a steal.

Both favorites...cohiba nics are over the top!

Rich, full of flavor. The Alec Bradley is a bit stronger than the Cohiba. Both are great additions to any round of golf. ..even poor ones like mine.

Love them

Both were really good not a big AB fan but those were nice

Size to small but was good

Great combo, enjoyed both them very much!

All great smokes great draw. The perfect duo

Good Smokes from the price..

Cohiba Nicaragua is a delightful cigar ,probably one of my favorites. Usually can't afford them except in samplers like this . Nice even burn, good draw and delicious flavor throughout. Alex Bradley Tempus Nicaragua is also quiet nice with an even slow burn and mellow flavors to the finish ,not crazy about box pressed but a great cigar . Thanks for the affordable deal .

Great combination of taste, quality and enjoyment. Super value to boot.

Cohibas are one of my favorites

Two great sticks, smooth, burns long, well constructed.

Alec Bradley Tempus Nicaragua is of the best medium cigars on todays market. The Cohiba Nicaragua is average

I totally enjoyed these nice real nice smooth great burn

Cohiba good , Alex Bradley lack of taste

Great smokes! Love them!

Great smoke

Great duo. Cohiba holds some sneaky power in it, great flavor and perfect burn . I havent smoked the Alec bradley but I could only imagine looks like a great smoke and smells amazing.

What's not to like? You can't buy the Cohibas alone for this price! And you get a great AB included. Even the AB is worth the price of admission! This is my go to sampler!

Great taste and burns evenly. For sure will order again.

Showed up on time and they are fresh , I have not tried em yet because its not yet their time

Very good!! Smooth and Tasty

Two powerful and refreshing sticks. Smoked one reading the new CA. The Cohiba while finishing the read.

Ok for the price

Both Cigars are fantastic, the smoke is very good, the finish on both is great.

Great product

Perfect combo

My comments aren't necessary the Cigars speak for theirselves........ EXCELLENT!

Product as described, great flavor, highly recommend cigars international over other distributors

These were my 4th choice. They are good but I would have liked my other choices

On scale 1-10 there are a 7

This is my go to order every time. Both the Alec Bradley and the Cohiba cigars are smooth and flavorful. Both have a light draw to them that makes them a joy to smoke. Can’t go wrong with these two!! Thanks CI for the perfect matchup!

The perfect combination and a well smooth smoke for a cold chilly night

I love the Cohibas but not so much the Alex Bradley, but overall I'm completely satisfied with the purchase

Two great cigars in the same pack? Yes, please. Both are full bodied sticks with the typical smooth, rich flavor of a Nicarguan tobacco.

Great quality cigars with earthy tones and a great draw.

Absolutely great smokes. You can’t beat the price for 2 outstanding brands!

Great smoke

Great cigars !

Great combo of medium smokes. ABs are typically my favorite. Nice option to get some variety

Smooth smoke

Outstanding

Excellent cigar. Very smooth.

Can't miss with these two.

Two very good cigars

I love these cigars I’ve ordered them a few times

I bought these for a gift and my husband said he really liked them

Really like these smokes but thats what I always get from CI. THANK YOU AS ALWAYS.

Excellent. Great deal for the cohibas.

very delightful and full flavored

Exceptional shipping and packaging, they arrived ready to smoke. Enjoyed one of the Alec Bradley’s last night it was delicious.

The Cohiba Team produced a very nice smoke with this blend. It’s perfect for the fall season.

Cohibas are smooth easy smoke. Haven’t done an Alec yet

My husband loved these.

Very very nice

Very good cigars great taste and well made

Let both these but both brands in the order I received had uneven draw and uneven burn

Packed tight burned evenly well pleased with these cigars.

Another great cigar from Alec Bradley. I like to chew on my cigar a while before I light it up and this truly is a tasty cigar. It burned beautifully and was one of the tastiest smokes I've had in a while.

both nice cjgars

Huge fan of these two cigars! The box pressed Alec Bradley Tempus Nicaraguan is a rare find. Would like to see it more readily available. The Cohiba Nicaragua is must purchase whenever possible. Great combo! Great price! Fantastic flavor!

Very solid cigars.

Alec Bradley little over rating , and cohiba nicaragua sucks.

Great smoke with a glass of bourbon or brandy.

Thank you great gift for my husband our 34 wedding anniversary!!!!

Great cigars.

It is a great pairing for this combo. Good variety. Both cigars burn well and evenly.

Try this sampler you won’t regret it these are my next favorite next to la aroma de cuba

Not bad for the money

He truly has enjoyed the flavor of these on the golf course!!

Excellent value, rich flavor does not disappoint.......

Excellent

Excellent, I have become a fan of Alex Bradley.

For the price of this pack you can't beat it. This may be the best deal on the site. Both cigars are wonderful!

A nice duo of Nicaraguans. Hearty smoke from start to finish. Will buy again.

They are a very enjoyable cigar with an excellent finish

Enjoying both. Will purchase again

Very good

Two great smokes at a wow price. The AB Tempus is legit and you never go wrong with Cohiba. The AB struggles to burn, but the flavor makes up for it. I wish Cohiba was always this cheap. I will buy more!

Really enjoyed the cigars! They are both great.

Don't tell everyone...These are my favorite Cigars.

Very pleased. Good cigars.

good dual pack

Was using another source and was unhappy with the service....also amazed that my first order that i placed with CI arrived in several days. Keep p the good work!

Wonderful cigars.

This is my favorite sampler. The longer you let them rest, the better they become. While I love the tempus Nicaraguan, the cohiba is my favorite of the two. With a month or more to relax, it’s a ten dollar cigar all day long. Smoking it slow as you should, it’ll last an hour and a half, and very cool in the retrohale. The Alec Bradley has more flavor change. It makes it hard to decide which to smoke.

Best deal going for these excellent cigars

Two great cigars at reachable price!

These are two good cigars, both great smokes.

The Cohibas were excellent

Great smoke!!

Rich flavor, and great draw.

Great deal!

They are good

Such a great combination.

Wow, both excellent smokes as I’ve already stocked in my humidor. Just couldn’t pass up this deal, and I bought several packs! Will definitely continue to enjoy these Nicaragua sticks.

Ok cigars, but not the best I've had.

Can't decide which I like better, two awesome smokes. Highly recommend.

While both cigars were excellent smokes, I will have to say that Alec's Tempest was bar far the better of the two. Nice slow smoke (2hrs) with a smooth finish.

They were great

The AB's are a bit better than Cohiba's.

Love the Alex Bradley and these cohiba better than the red dots. Would love if it included the cohiba black.

Awesomw 10 cigar deal!

Both are excellent cigars of quality. Of all the Nicaraguan cigars I have tried I enjoyed the lasting character of the Tempus. It was smooth throughout with good earthly tones and mellow flavor. The Cohiba was a close second, although I think I'd go up a ring size next time.

Very good. Nice draw and burn with a healthy flavor.

Solid medium to full smoke. Excellent burn and construction. Flavors of cedar, leather with a black pepper spice. Excellent smoke.

Good

The cohiba's are not worthy of the name. Again the price looked to good to be true and it was.Very hard starting with repeated relights. Tried humidor unwrapped for 3 months. The burn is quite uneven and the draw difficult. Cigar improved about half way and became a decent smoke. On the other hand, i have never had a bad Alex Bradley. i think i will stay with Bradleys as a regular smoke.

The combined strength of these two powerhouses are enticing. The Alec Bradley is much smoother with a gentle draw with a refined flavor of leather and slight notes of cedar The Cohiba Nicaraguan is the weak point. 1 of the 3 that I've smoked were amazing...strong, leathery with pepper after notes. The other two were wrapped too tightly. With a tough draw and uneven burning foot, it was not enjoyable. It's a good option but if you're itching for a Cohiba, do yourself a favor and get the Alec Bradleys but pick up some Montecristos instead to make your own sampler.

Got cigars for bavhelor party and everyone was pleased. The tempus we're a bit better in my opinion but arrived fresh and a great deal

Great service, great prices! All arrived as expected.

Cohibas kicked butt liked the Alec Bradley's

These like all Cohiba are great.

Out of the 10 cigar 6 were bad to hard when I punch one it falls apart.

Good sticks. The Cohibas were very nice and tasty. Burn was mainly irregular on the 2 sticks I've devoured, canoe burn on the onset, quickly resolved. Bradley's worth every second and penny spent.

Will be buying more, CI really has the best prices, and value for my money, that's well spent.

Love the combination of the two cigars. Not sure if you've ever put the two together or not but I love it. Thanks.

Alex bradleys beat the cohlbas but they were both good smokes

Good

Very nice, shipped timely...

Very good

Great buy. Both cigars are more than delicious.

Great package deal for the price. Would purchase the exact combo again.

Both were awesome

👍👍

I like the AB more than the cohiba. They both present their own flavors and are both nice smokes. I recommend a full stomach for the cohiba and if you don’t like peppers and spice this smoke isn’t for you. Enjoy

Good cigars for the price. I’d get them again

So good that I'm ordering these again. Full flavor and great value for these beauties.

The Cohiba was much better than I expected, great flavor, lot's of smoke, burned well, great draw. Alec Bradley, what more can I say, another great cigar in the Tempus line up! Absolutely won't go wrong with this sampler, I will most definitely buy it again!

The Alec Bradley Tempus is outstanding. The Cohiba is very good, but the Alec Bradley is outstanding!!!

Great puros. Both are, short. But satisfying. thanks

I smoke outside and guess what,I live on a windy island so its hit and miss on a good smoke sess,but we try any way.Got lucky the other day and fired up a cohiba on the porch,I was in smooth sailing by the time I hit bottom on that favorable stix.I did like the alex b it was also a crowd pleaser.keep em coming

Had one of each of these, and both provided good strong flavor and a nice, even burn throughout. Would definitely buy again!

The Alec Bradley tempus is a fantastic stick! The Cohiba was not good plus had to re-light a couple times!

The turkey says it all!

While I do not smoke cigars, (or smoke at all for that matterr), my husband does and his favorite cigar is Cohiba, so I always purchase them for him when they are on sale. This purchase is part of his Christmas gift, which I know he is going to love.

Great cigars

the Alec Bradley, were amazing, however some of the Cohibas were not fresh.

Very good blends

CI is great!! Keep up the good work!

Cigars arrived very wet. Still haven't dried out. I have to constantly relight them.

Both medium to full bodied smokes. The Cohiba is not as dark as expected with a complex flavor, and the Temptus had a nice long even smoke, with a nice after flavor.

I love the Cohibas, the Alec Bradleys are good as well. This is a good value.

These are two, very special cigars. I believe the Nicaragua blend is cohiba's best and was truly surprised at the flavor and smoke of the AB tempus.

Both Cigars were very solid. Strong Maduro feel, even burn, just how I like it. I would never have purchased them on their own and the bundle enabled me to gave it a try. I am glad I did. I strongly recommend it for an everyday type of smoke.

Outstanding as always

Both cigars were good smokes but the Chiba stuck out for me it was the better off the two.

excellent cigars!

Very pleased

Both are worth the purchase and you will thoroughly enjoy!

Cigars were both really good smokes but the Chiba stuck out for meals the better off the two. I've bought it twice now probably will buy until they stop offering the sampler.

The Cohiba's are always good, but to my surprise the Alec bradley Tempus were a pleasant addition to my smoking experience.... rich tasting but not strong... will buy again

these are a flavorful bunch.

The PURO Cohiba Nicaragua is an excellent smoke with heavy notes of earth leather and a little spice. The Alex Bradley Tempus is a very good smoke with a palate that seemed to me to be on the stronger side, but still very enjoyable

Wanted to try both of these and with this deal, why not? Both of these brands are well worth the CI price. Impeccable construction, Great burn, and excellent flavor. I will definitely reorder this pair.

Best new sampler to hit CI! I really enjoyed both cigars, good burn,ash. Smooth right to the nub on both sticks, a must for my humidor.

Good smokes

What's not to like both top quality cigars and just the right size for a quick smoke break

I have purchased this combination many times and will continue to do so. This is a very good pairing of 2 smooth medium bodied smokes that are enjoyable anytime of the day.

AB Tempus was okay,rather strong;maybe needed a little more time in humidor

Cohiba was great smooth smoke. Tempus was a good smoke as well, but 2 of the 5 the wrapper completely unpeeled before being cut so had to trash those.

Great cigrs tempus
