“…the Alec Bradley Fine & Rare BC-(13)4EV comes to the table delivering the total package – flavor, complexity, and construction. It’s the flavor that truly shines in this cigar, delivering notes that complement each other very well. This is not only one of the best Fine & Rare cigars, but one of the best Alec Bradley cigars, and one of the standouts from 2022. ”
“At $28.75, this cigar will not be a cheap investment. At the same time, I have no problem recommending this cigar to any cigar enthusiast…this is a cigar that easily exceeds the threshold for Cigar Coop Standard of Excellence.”
“This is the belle of the ball of the T110 series.”
“With the Toro size, this blend goes to another level. The flavors are simply fantastic, and after smoking one of these cigars, I couldn’t wait to smoke another. As a factory, Nica Sueño has released some excellent cigars, but this one is at another level.”
“Not only is this a cigar that is completely different than anything Espinosa Cigars has delivered before, but it’s all one of the more unique Sumatra offerings I have had.”
“I found the Quesada 1974 Toro to be the best vitola in the line to date….This (the Toro size)seemed to work extremely well for this flavor profile. In the end, while the Toro size might be for the contemporary smoker, I found this size to smoke more like a connoisseur size.”
“There is a reason why the Warhead series is so popular – it’s a very good blend….it delivers plenty of firepower – but even more important, plenty of flavor.”
“The Quesada Oktoberfest has been one of the more creative annual limited edition series that has been seen over the years. With the Quesada Oktoberfest 10th Anniversary Bavarian, this might be the best release to date.”
