Alec Bradley’s Tempus Maduro: The “Time” Has Come.
Albert Einstein said, “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Well, sir, Alec Bradley has found another solution: Tempus Maduro.
Tempus (the Latin word for “time”) has been an extremely successful cornerstone of Bradley’s brand, even receiving a 94 rating from Cigar Aficionado Magazine. After that tremendous honor and super rare accomplishment, smokers everywhere were thirstin’ for more. Brand creator Alan Rubin was not going to let this opportunity go to waste. Enter, Tempus Maduro.
Of course you can’t just throw any ole Maduro wrapper on there and call it a day. (If it were that easy I think we’d all be in the manufacturing business) Blending is a true art form and it takes an especially talented expertise to improve on something as revered as Tempus. The solution lies in the fermentation process.
The trick is preserving the flavor of the cigar. To do this, Bradley’s Tempus Maduro features a wrapper treated with a Bethune made from tree pulp. This produces a dark, Maduro hue as well as shortens the fermentation process- thus conserving flavors.
The result is a beautifully rich cigar enriched with mocha, flecks of pepper, and traces of dark chocolate coffee. This is a superbly unique stick with the potential of being more popular than its big brother.
Let the sibling rivalry begin!
