I picked up a fiver back in March at a B&M Alec Bradley and 262 event. They are made by Alec Bradley for the http://smoketherevolution.com/ commemorating the Cuban embargo. I smoked one at the event and sort of thought meh. I must admit the one I smoked yesterday the (262 Paradigm 5 1/2 x 50) was great. I have a box now ordered. I tossed them in the wineadore when I got them because they were pretty fresh rolled when. I sort of forgot about them till today. I also have some 262 Ideology's put up I'm going to have to try now. I will have to do my best to keep the Paradigm on hand now.

This post was just a heads up in case anyone was wondering or have seen these cigars. I just wanted to let you know that they are definitely smoke worthy. Enjoy. ;):)

I picked one of these up from Burn's, in Chattanooga, at an event, early this year or late last. Cost me about $12, and I was really looking forward to it. I think it was the paradigm, it was a 262 with a white band and a part of a very limited release. The flavors were very good but it was the most under filled premium I've ever smoked. It was a toro size and, even with going slow, burned hot and lasted about 30 minutes. Usually if a stick is above $10, I'm not inclined to give it another shot. I'm going to have to try another one of these.

A friend of mine gifted me the Paradigm as well as the Ideology. I smoked the 262 with a few months of good solid rest ( 3 months ) and again at 6 and this is a cigar that gets better with rest...same for the Ideology...can't say for the Revere but knowing where the wrapper, filler/binder come from this is some of my favorite tobacco. My experience tells me by smoking these tobaccos is that they need solid rest to let the complexity come through.

I have been wanting to try these for awhile. I am gonna pick some up when I'm in southern Indiana next time.
My boy at Riverside Cigars had plenty the last time I was in there if you are looking in Sou Ind.
That's who I'm talking about. Jeff Mouttet, right? We will probably be taking a trip with our club next year to check out his new bar. ;)

You got it. He showed me the bar not long ago when it was still in progress. Looks nice. Don't think they have officially opened it yet.

I try to always keep a few of the Paradigm around. Solid sticks that get better with a little rest. Been looking to try the Revere when I can find it.
