Notes:
A few months ago I wrote about a somewhat lackluster debut of Alec Bradley's Jam. After 3 months of aging in the humidor (giving the tobacco leaves a chance to emit their oils), I decided to give these cigars another go.

The venue: Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains NY; The event: Oktoberfest; Beer of choice: Sam Adams Oktoberfest (the superior oktoberfest this season, sorry Brooklyn Lager) and Vegetable of choice: awesomely delicious bratwurst.
The aged Alec Bradley added to the aforementioned experience. The sights, the sounds, the smell, it was truly Oktoberfest ala cigardocs. The smoke was smoother and less ashy towards the end. The draw was consistent (aged or not aged). The plume was rich and the bouquet was complex and aromatic. Aging definitely improved the experience of smoking this cigar. As far as libations, I feel this is definitely a beer cigar. I look forward to aging these Jams for NEXT Oktoberfest. I predict they will be phenomenal.
Overall: 8 out of 10 (3 months aged).
