Hehe... Nice reviews

That Legend almost didn't make it to you, It was one of two I recieved in a sampler a while back. The first one left me wondering why I should spend more than $3.00 on any cigar

I really appreciate it. It was an excellent cigar.
Who knows ... maybe I'll get a box.

Here's my reviews, I'm going to keep them short and simple. I probably totally screwed these up. My taste buds have been a little off since getting over a sinus infection.

Cigar #7

This was a robusto size with a maduro wrapper. Construction was below average with a toothy wrapper and simple cap. The cigar started off a little harsh but settled down into notes of leather and sweet tobacco. The flavors didn't change much throughout the smoke. I did begin to pick up a little spice around halfway. The draw was a little loser than I prefer and the overall taste was a little rough around the edges.

I would say this was a from the lower price range.


Cigar #10

This was a toro sized cigar with a very dark and oily maduro wrapper. Construction was good and firm with a nice cap. This cigar started off a lot nicer than #7. From the first few puffs this cigar was dominated by flavors off well aged tobacco. It had a nice sweetness to it and a very subtle spice that complimented it very nicely. I didn't notice many changes in the flavor profile. It stayed in the medium body range for me but full flavored and very enjoyable.

I would say this is from the upper price range.

Ok…Very strange review for me. I smoked both of these sticks one right after the other with an hour break (and about 3 Crown on the rocks) in between. I found both of these sticks to be VERY enjoyable and VERY similar. Although stick #13 burned a little uneven they both tasted very strong but mild.

Stick # 23 toasted nicely, once lit gave a wonderful bouquet. I enjoyed this stick down to burning my fingers. It was a bold stick with a lot of intense flavor that never turned into a harsh flavor. I was able to smoke this stick for over an hour, getting lots of length on the ash before having to tap it off. Once again, this was a VERY enjoyable stick.

Stick #13 (this is also my lucky number) also toasted nicely and gave off a more mellow bouquet then # 23. This stick burned very quickly and as stated above a little uneven.(Maybe because I had 3 crown on the rocks in me) but like I said a very enjoyable smoke. Was not able to get any length on the ash due to the fact of the quick burn but I really enjoyed this stick. It had very strong flavors of spice, mint and coffee. Let this one go out with only a quarter of a stick left. That is how satisfied I was.

I usually smoke a cigar every other day. With these two done in the same night, I haven’t had the urge to smoke for a few days now. But today is another day. I would guess that both of these sticks are of the upper end of the price range. At least they tasted that way. Plus I enjoyed the hell out of both of them!!! Really would like to know what I smoked!!!
