The Tempus Natural is the original Tempus, a Honduran-forward blend that helped establish Alec Bradley's reputation for refined, flavorful cigars. The Toro at 6 x 52 is a comfortable everyday format, built around a Honduran wrapper with a Honduran-and-Sumatra binder and Honduran-Nicaraguan filler.
What it tastes like
This is a smoother, more elegant smoke than its Maduro and Nicaragua siblings. The Honduran wrapper gives cedar and light oak, the Sumatra binder adds a subtle natural sweetness, and the filler blend contributes a toasted-nut, creamy character. It rides medium to medium-full — flavorful and substantial, but balanced and approachable.
