CI Legend Series

I like 'em! Of course they are all major labels but you can get them pretty inexpensively and it gives you an idea of the preferred flavor profile of each company.

I will have to say though, the Drew Estates cigar is horrible!!! I don't mind the aroma of some flavored cigars, but this was awful. I tried getting to the halfway point to see if it would change but it was just bad.

I left my DrewEstate infuse cigar age for about 6 months, in a separate tupperware, before I smoked it. thought it was ok, but I'm not a super fanboy for infused cigars.

My favorite was the white lable one, and then the blue...

I like the white label too, it's by Camacho. So far I like all of them but the one by DE, the olive label by AJ Fernandez is also good if you like a fuller flavor.

By the way, I don't know what 21 herbs and spices they infused that cigar with but they could have done without them.

Tried a couple of them, wasn't impressed. I had high hopes for the DPG issue...meh.

Of course, YMMV.

I seriously haven't had a cigar as bad as that one. Ever.

I believe I once described that cigar tasted like rose petals dipped in sugar.... Couldn't wait to coat my tongue with something else after to cleanse it...

PS My 2 favs (haven't had one in at least 3 years) are the Perdomo and Camacho.
