Do I dare try an Alec Bradley Prensado? I have a couple buried (not proud of it) and wonder how bad they are/could be

You're becoming a real cigar snob. haha. I have some as well.
Oh, jayzus...I've smoked several and they were a decent smoke. Overpriced and overhyped, so I won't buy them. But there are a boatload of worse cigars out there. Two boatloads, even.

I agree. Price is what keeps me from rebuying. Saw them on Bean's Sprinter @ 10/$38 and considered... even posted as much.
No way I'm going back to see what I paid but I've smoked 2, one was good the other horrible

I've had similar experiences with other AB's. That may be the other reason I don't buy the brand anymore.

sheesh. what a bunch of whiners.
lol.
Used to be a little bar in Crystal River (can't remember the name been longggg ago) and their specialty was called Three Beer Chili, called that because it was so hot it took three beers to eat a bowl of it.  Great little dive see if anybody knows about it still being there.
there was a chili kit don't remember the brand, that had two different spice packages, told you in the instuctions. if you were planning on feeding it to wimps or children, leave out the habanero spice packet.  was a brown box with red & black print.  came with the masa flour to thicken it too!
You talking about 2-alarm?
maybe 5 alarm, maybe Shelbys, could be another, may have even had all the spices packages in a small brown paper bag (maybe 3 inches wide). told you not to add beans, then it wouldn't be Texas chili...
