(1/2 In)

I was gifted this cigar from Daniel Tiant (Louie Tiant's son) at an event this week. This new line, La Leyenda, is a sumatra wrapped cigar where as the other lines are maduro and corojo...

Overall the cigar had a nice box press shaped with a very nice looking sumatra wrapper. As well, there were no noticeable flaws or soft spots.

The first 1/3 inch had a very sharp bite to it but went away quickly. I am not sure if that was due to it being young or another issue. Once I got past that, it was a very good cigar full of spice and hints of nut. As well, I noticed a faint coco smell as I was smoking it! Overall the cigar burned really well and held it's ash pretty well.

I am not sure of the price on this line, but I would definitely buy a few more!

Thanks for the review. I do have a problem with that Tiante logo though - his knee should be up to his ear! :ss

Thanks, for the review, Greg! :tu

I'm with Mac... I think I'd like to try a Maduro or Conoju wrapper! These may need some "rest" to get the best flavor out of them!

You only smoked the "gifted" stick? :eek: I'd expect that those "cigar girls" would have had you walking out of the place with at least a box of each!! :D

:dance:
