It has been a little while since I have added a new cigar to this blog. When I do a review I try to smoke at least three of the cigars I am reviewing, and life has just gotten in the way from that happening lately. So with no further ado here goes.
My latest smoke was the Alec Bradley Maxx Connecticut The Fixx, big name for a big cigar. The Maxx Connecticut comes in multiple sizes and is the newest release in the Alec Bradley Maxx line of cigars. The Maxx Connecticut contains the 5-nation long filler and binder found on the original Maxx line but has added a Connecticut wrapper. The Fixx is a 5 inch by 58 ring gage version.
Upon lighting initial taste of butter, cream, and cinnamon were present. The initial flavors were followed with some tingling around the tongue reminiscent of eating cinnamon candy. The retro hail in the first third was a tea flavor which persisted into the second third with some nutmeg and clove. Cinnamon an cream flavors remained present with sweetness lingering in the background. The final third brought some pleasant grassiness and earth with the sweetness remaining. The body of the smoke was medium with balanced strength. The smoke never became harsh and I smoked it down to the nub. The burn was good however, I found the ash to be crumbly.
Although I did not find this to be an overly complex cigar, I found it to be enjoyable and a great accompaniment to a cup of coffee and the morning paper. I will certainly purchase more in the future. If you have anything further to add or any comments you can email me here
