One of the things I like about the Emerald is that flavor change when you hit the wrapper. Shows how much flavor a wrapper imparts.
Bomb received!!!!

Thank you very much.

Don Fernando would really like to know why Legend writes in third person about himself.

I thought that was Squid at the old establishment who writes in the third person.
The only person I know who can get away w/ speaking in third person and sounding cool is "The Rock".

Surprised you called the Expresso a dog rocket. Thought it was decent. But the emerald was my preference. Only had one of each, but would definitely get more Emeralds if the price is right. And spot on about the presentation. Looks cool, but most importantly, it has the flavor profile I like. Solid 3 on the Legend rating.

Some interesting reviews to say the least about these dog rockets. CI sent me both brands as a "freebie" to go along with another order. Usually when a company wants to throw in freebies I'm instantly worried about the quality of the cigar. Needless to say I am not touching these dogs until they have had a long hibernation.

If anybody wants a 2nd opinion on either brand I'd be more than happy to throw a few your way.

That is special little limited edition. From Gurkha. The dragonfire. Same wrapper as the black dragon but cameroon filler. This is one of my 5 legend ratings. It is truly a wonderful smoke.

Finally tapped into my supply of Emeralds. It was suprisingly pretty good. The cedar wrapped around it may make it get better with some age? These have a nice little touch of spice that sneak up on you. I think it has a lot to do with the shaggy foot.

Smoking an Espresso robusto right now. I like these as a mild maduro. I wish they would come up with a better dye recipe for the wrapper though.
