(In-Stock) CI legends is a series of cigars you cant do without. Save some time and click here for a quick guide to compare each blend! Legends started out as a small project. We originally asked four top cigar manufacturers to create the best damn cigar they could for $5 retail or under. The only condition is, the cigar had to be 5.75? x 54 in size. To get their competitive juices flowing, I let them know that theyd be competing for supremacy with other top makers! That was 6 years ago. Today, six more manufacturers have entered the ?competition, with several others chomping at the bits for a chance to join the fun. Enjoy the delicious fruits of their labor, blends that are among the very best for the money that can be had...on the planet. Legends Camacho - White Label : Perhaps best known for creating dense, full, powerhouse cigars such as Camacho, the Eiroa family again put their considerable blending skills to the test. This rendition of the CI Legends is truly remarkable, a masterful, memorable handmade cigar. Very densely packed without any soft spots to speak of, this puro offers a dark, smooth, vein-free Habano wrapper gracing a healthy portion of earthy, grade 1 Honduran long-fillers. Its clear at a glance that theyve done all of us cigar nuts a favor. Upon lighting, youll notice an instant hit of peppery flavor that coats your mouth. Moments later, the tingling is tamed by a toasty flavor with dry hints of nuts. In true Camacho form, you notice a slight rush, as the powerful blend takes over. But fear not! The strength subsides, developing beautifully into a mellow, well-rounded smoke with slight hints of vanilla until it peaks at the 2/3 point, the blue-gray smoke feeling almost silky in the mouth. Gradually, just as youd begin to contemplate nubbing it out, the peppery notes return, building to a crescendo - offering a robust and heady finish to this extraordinarily flavorful cigar. Legends Drew Estate - Copper Label : Drew Estate has entertained the world over with innovative, delicious super-premiums that include infused, gourmet blended and traditional handmades. Using the rich, hearty tobaccos of Esteli, Nicaragua as a cornerstone for each blend, Drew Estate has set itself a cut above the rest thanks to countless trips around the world for the sole purpose of discovering rare tobaccos, then bringing them back to the blending table where countless man-hours are spent. Their Legends submission was created in this same fashion. A rich Nicaraguan backbone of long-fillers is complemented by Dominican Piloto, then carefully influenced by the subtle nuances of amaretto and hazelnut. A slightly sweet Ecuadorian wrapper glistens in the spotlight, completing the cigar. Creamy throughout, this beautiful handmade delivers ample flavor created to relax the palate as thick, billowing clouds exit the foot with each puff. Medium bodied, with enjoyable hints of pepper and hazelnut. Legends Graycliff - Purple Label : Avelino Laras achievement as the creator of the Cuban Cohiba blend could be considered a curse to some, as each of his new blends must live up to the incredibly lofty standards he set....for the industry and for himself. And time after time he clears that bar, as evidenced by his outstanding array of Graycliff blends. As you can imagine, Graycliffs entry into the CI Legends series is bound to be an exciting one. A dark and oily Habano wrapper from Nicaragua cloaks a fine 2-country blend of supremely aged tobaccos from the Dominican and Nicaragua. This balanced mixture produces an explosion of rich and hearty nuances, noting hints of leather, earth, and coffee bean throughout the slow, smooth burn. Medium in body, balanced, and complex, this Legends is indeed delicious. Legends La Aurora - Black Label : Known to the world as the Dominican Republics oldest and longest running cigar factory, La Aurora is a giant among giants.
