I always find your reviews, as well as general comments, of non-cuban cigars interesting being as you have unlimited access to cigars of cuban origin. You seem to go against the grain of many that participate on the board and reinforce what I believe to be true.
:salute:

Cubans are overpriced and I like many Non Cubans just as good as the better Cubans. There are lots of great Cuban cigars, but there are just as many or even more (power lies in numbers in this case) Non Cubans.

I suspect the overpriced part is because of local taxes in the NL? Because typically the prices on most CC's are fairly competitive per stick dollar wise for those....umm on the other side of the puddle. :)

Thanks for the excellent review and photo's DF. This is a solid medium bodied smoke with pleasant aroma. I have a couple of these that have been hanging around for just about a year now. Probably should drag one out and set some fire to it:ss

I disagree, this cigar, the CI Legend Yellow for instance, costs less then 80 USD for a box of 20, find me a cc of comparable size and quality for that price. I haven't found them yet.

I'm enjoying one of these now and have to agree with the initial post, an excellent cigar. No burn issues here and I"ll be looking to buy a 5 or 10 pack on JoeCigar soon. :D

Now I'm torn between the yellow and red labels.

So what you're telling us is that you know what manure tastes like. :p

Nice review, Don. I've had a few of these and found them to be fairly tasty. :)

I thought that they were more expensive that $80. I remembered them being closer to $120, but I could be wrong, as I often am.

Kids stick everything in their mouth Mike, and yes, I too have been a kid.

make that $80 $69,95 right here. Unfortunately they are backordered.

Thanks for the review...I have heard many good tings about these CI Legends. Might have to try some here soon.

Very nice review. I did a blind review on one of these that had a couple years age on it. Flavors meld even better with some time on em.

Ferdinand, thanks for posting this review. I've had some of these resting for awhile, and I decided to fire one up last night. It was very enjoyable. Complex enough flavors, very good construction, and I only had to retouch the burn at almost the nub. I would definitely buy more of these.

It had been a long while since I had smoked one of these. I pulled one out this morning and was reminded what a nice stick it is. If only they were a smaller RG I would smoke a lot of them!!

Re: CI Legend yellow
 
I have not had the yellow, YET. I will have to give it a try after that review. I have smoked the red and loved it, just ordered a box.

Ferdinand, nice review and pic's my friend!

To date, that is the only CI Legend cigar I care for.
