Tempus

Tempus, the new cigar from Alec Bradley has been widely hailed as their finest cigar to date. It is the first cigar that Alec Bradley has created that bears the name Alec Bradley on the cigar. The other cigars that they create have never had the name Alec... - More Bradley on them, but founder Alan Rubin decided that it was time that people knew who the manufacturer was. The history behind this cigar goes back to a trip Alan Rubin took to Nicaragua in 2001. He found the wrapper leaf on a small farm and knew that it was something special. It was being grown in limited quantities, and was not intended for commercial production. The farm was a mere two acres! Over the next few years, Rubin kept a close eye on the leaf until he knew that it was ready. He knew that whatever cigar would utilize this wrapper would be special, and all he had to do was wait. After two exhausting years, the wrapper was finally ideal for use. The exhausting part then began, which resulted in the sorting, and selecting only the finest tobacco for this product. Rubin decided to use tobacco from small farms throughout South America for the Tempus, because he wanted everything in this cigar to be special. The amount of hard work put into this cigar is apparent once you light up. Alec Bradley named the cigar Tempus, which is Latin for time, an obvious choice for this gem.
