Project 40 is the search to find a deeper understanding as to why cigars have a positive cognitive impact on the mind and body. Similar to music, cigars have a calming effect that allows us to feel in control as well as feel rewarded. A proper blend, price, and experience has been developed for your enjoyment. Take control of your happiness.” so that’s an interesting take on blending a cigar I’ll give them that. Let’s see how it’s made up.

| Brand   | Alec Bradley  |
| ------- | ------------- |
| Size    | Toro          |
| Origin  | Nicaragua     |
| Wrapper | Nicaragua     |
| Binder  | Habano Brazil |
| Filler  | Nicaragua     |

I do like a bit of a Brazil binder I must say. This cigar has also been rated as high as 93 points in some reviews so, let’s get into it and see how it stacks up.

| Construction | 7/10  |
| ------------ | ----- |
| Burn         | 9/10  |
| Draw         | 10/10 |
| Flavour      | 9/10  |
| Complexity   | 9/10  |
| Strength     | 6/10  |

**Construction & Burn**

The biggest point drop for me was the construction by a mile. It had an inconsistent shape and density as if some of the filler was bunched up unevenly. It even had a slight bend to the cigar! That however did not seem to affect the burn which was damn near perfect.

**Flavour & Complexity**

What an unusual mix! But it works. Throughout I got flavours of; Nut, cocoa, spice, fruit and a slightly floral overtone with even a hint of caramel at times. The complexity is great with a good blend and no real jump out flavour at any point

**Strength**

Very firmly in the mid strength category, slightly weaker that I would like but enough there to keep me interested.

**Overall**

Great cigar! If it wasn’t for the off putting construction of this particular sample I think this stick would be getting closer to the mid 90s from me but as it is with the sample I had I give is 91 points.

Now here is where I would normally tell you how to get some to try yourself… but as of yet these are not available to purchase in NZ so maybe you’ll need to have a chat to Grant and see what he has to say?
