Alec Bradley Prensado Fumas

Not bad

Amazing stick. Consistent burn and flavor. I was surprised at the quality considering they're fumas. Great every day smoke if you want the experience of the prensado for a fraction of the price. The Churchill size was perfect to smoke half now and half later. They don't dry up and crack super fast, you can come back to one several hours later and it's still ready to please.

When I received them their humidity was at 54% but I can fix that easily as I work in the tropics. Set them un-wrapped outside for three hours and they were at 75% humidity. These are now a "go-to smoke". Excellent taste/flavor. Lovely smoke. Brilliant draw. I did have one which gave me a slight 1 inch canoe, but such is life.

My daily.

Right size, right price Alec Bradley quality

Solid!

Great Alec Bradley’s at a reasonable price.

It seems like any cigar benefits from some extra aging, these are no exception. Six month to a year seems about right, although they are quite smokable when they hit the door. These are medium bodied, reasonably well made cigars. What they lack in the looks department they make up for in flavor, the Robusto size takes me an enjoyable hour to consume.

Smooth and great flavor. Packed excellently. One of my regular favorites.

Tasty, not bad draw and burn… I enjoy every one of them. Will buy more…

1st time buy - love the regular Prensado - enjoyed these - hope to get more

Easy to smoke and easy on the wallet too

It was a really good cigar. Burned evenly, no flaws present at least to my eyes. The draw was not overly difficult or too easy. The ash held on for awhile. It pared well with some bourbon I recently acquired while on the Bourbon Trail. I would totally recommend these to friends and actually already did.

Nice smoke really don't see a lot of difference

Makes sense, these are a great value. I’d buy again.

Pretty good

Great cigar, great price!

Fumas for sure. Good daily some rolling issues but that's why they are fumas.

Slight draw tightness at first but loosened up after first quarter. Very flavorful and completely satisfied after that. This is a great value.

Great flavor even burn a bargain for the price

As good as the premium when you can smoke them. A couple had some imperfections but still worth the price.

Cigars are alway good for the price but there shipping is terrible

Delicious

as good as the originals most of the time

Very open draw. Medium to bold flavor.

These are constructed very well. I just got my bundle today. I am a satisfied customer and will purchase more. I buy the sampler pack from my local shop that includes a toro box pressed Prensado. They are one of my favorites to enjoy with a pour. They are however quite a bit more expensive than these. These are as close to the banded cigar more so than any other fumas line I have tried. I have had many a cheap stick to find these and I believe they will now be my go to daily smoke.

Love these smokes! Very consistent burn with full and easy draw.

I get a very different experience from these. They’re smokable and decent cigars but I think are discounted for a reason. They don’t burn as well, aren’t cosmetically the same and all that’s expected, but they don’t taste quite as good to me either, and I’m not sure why. Not letting them go to waste and I intended to order them as inexpensive extras in my humidor, but unless something changes with age, they’re not *quite* as comparable in flavor to Prensado branded cigars as I had hoped.

Pretty decent stick for the price, once in a while you will get one that doesn’t burn even but that is expected.

I believe that the difference between this and the traditionally labeled Prensado is cosmetic. Prensado is likely my favorite non-Cubano and I taste no difference. What a great value!

Overall, solid construction for a Fumas; and nice flavor.

Actually flavor was quite good. Burns a little uneven. Believe I'll spend money on the firsts of Alec Bradley instead of the seconds. Feel as though I got what was left over on the bench. Not bad though for a medium purchase.

After having never tried Fumas, I thought "what the hell? At the price...let's see if they're a steal". As I'm sure, many of you experienced Fumas smokers know; they're the epitome of hit & miss. I think my 1st bundle...was a Rocky Patel Edge. It's been a while; I remember being so thrown...by construction and burn...that I don't even remember much, what they tasted like. Not a great start. But, after some time...I think I tried Nicaraguan Gordo 2nds. To be honest...it was one bundle, so I must not have been that impressed; but don't recall, exactly why. I'm sure there was some time passed...as my Fumas experiment, seemed to be going along the lines of "you get what you pay for"; but then I tried a bundle of H. Upmann Fumas. WoW! Appearance, construction, and burn...were damn near flawless; better than many "1sts", to be honest. Sure...a little one-note; but this became my everyday stick, for quite some time. Recently...I've decided, to try and find some other Fumas steals. I tried the Brickhouse Fumas, as I had read they were very similar to the HU. I was a little burnt-out, on heavy Nicaraguans...so I opted for the Connecticut. Maybe that was the mistake. Construction and burn are very good, for a Fumas; but they have like NO taste (as opposed to the HU, which may be one-note; but there's something there). Then...I tried these Prensado Fumas! I'm an AB fan; but I had never tried the Prensado...despite it's HIGH ratings...because it's a little on the pricey side, for an unknown commodity. I didn't even know, Prensado...HAD a Fumas. When I discovered them, I thought "here's the prefect chance; to try them on the cheap...see what all the fuss was about (understanding, of course, I wasn't getting the "real deal"). I'm running out of characters...so all I'll say is: while the sticks, ARE a little soft...and the burn can get erratic; the flavor, is damn good...for a stick of this price! I'm looking forward, to the Tempus Fumas next.

Great flavours. Got to keep them perfectly humidified as in not too much, or they will just plug right up. They smoke fairly even, but you'll want to have a draw poker nearby.

Don’t expect AB quality. All in all a great value for the cigar you get.

It's a good deal. They burn well and draw nicely. I would buy again. Not quite the same as the regular Prensado but a lot cheaper.

Tasty

Nice size, quick evening smoke, flavor galore.

Better than I expected for a Cuban sandwich. I love the Prensado, and I really like this Fumas. Get a slightly weaker taste of Prensado for just a couple bucks a stick. Perfect for the golf course, boat, or everyday smoke. I will buy more.

Nice cigars: good flavor, slow burn, well made. For an inexpensive cigar, these are great.

Very flavorful, but than It's from Alec Bradley

These Alec Bradley cigars do not taste the same as the true Alec Bradley, taste is pretty good, construction is not great and the burn is the worst I have ever had.

This might be the best deal on the site. Tasty Prensados for 2 bucks a pop??? Yes please. The full Prensado flavor is there. So is the great slow burn. And the ones I've smoked haven't had any blemish that bothered me. Will buy again for sure

For the money yes it's a great stick. I have had many lose the cap. Most are great. I have had several packs of these. This is a daily stick for me.

Glad I got these. Great smokes. Minor blemishes. Burns well and tastes as good as perfect ones.
