Magic Toast by Alec Bradley

Admittedly I am not a huge AB fan, but I couldn't ignore the buzz around the Magic Toast. Looking over the components used, I quickly became excited to give it a try, as I am partial to Honduran tobacco. The marbling on the wrapper doesn't go unnoticed, giving it a wonder visual appeal. The overall construction of the cigar was superior compared to the majority of AB cigars I have smoked previously. 

The cigar started off burning great but as time went on I began to get runs that unfortunately I didn't anticipate. Nothing overly detrimental to the smoking experience, but annoying nonetheless. 

Where I had high hopes was perhaps where I was most disappointed. The flavors simply weren't complementary to one another. The lack of balance had me scratching my head in confusion and unfortunately, not even a positive subtle change occurred. What I thought had the makings of being a great cigar, just fell short the hype and expectation. $9.00 is what you will pay for this cigar which is typical for what it is, so it won’t break the bank but i certainly think $9.00 can be better spent elsewhere.
