I smoked a Alec Bradley Tempus last night (courtesy of bigshizza) and in my young cigar life, it was the first cigar that i smoked that after i was done with it i was like "holy shi! that was REALLY good"

based off of that, other than buying more Tempus (which i will) what other cigars have a similar flavor profile?

    As a total noob, I can't compare (although, I think I should be getting my bigshizza welcome tomorrow) anything to the Tempus, but based on some talk, reviews, and frequency smoked on threads here, I tracked down a Liga Privada Undercrown and had the same experience. About halfway through, I thought I was smoking a dark chocolate cupcake!

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    Alec Bradley has a load of nice stuff. You like one, you're apt to like the others. Put "Alec Bradley Sampler" into the cigar.com search slot and you'll find several dandy combos.

    Try the Avo Take Five sampler, it will give you a good idea of what the Domincan profile is all about, and you get connecticut, habano, sumatra, and maduro wrapped cigars as well. Great way to get to know a region and wrappers.

    Which ones from that sampler have habano and sumatra? It was hard to find info when I got my sampler. Seems like most sites just said ecuadorian sungrown.
