CI Legends series

[joshua]

I wanted to check these out and Cigars International added a singles selector which is pretty nice. For every 5 cigars you get one of them free. (Basically just add 6 cigars and the cheapest one is free)

So I got 2 each of three of their Legends series. I just smoked the white label which is Camacho and it was pretty damn good. They are only $5 a stick for all the legends except for the Graycliff which is $6, so I would say they are a pretty good bargain. Construction was excellent, burned without any problems. Had a nice smooth wrapper and pretty good flavor.

Hmm Just had the rocky patel one (orange). Pretty smooth but flavorful. Totally even burn, great construction. Nothing too complex but tasty.

Oh and I was wrong about the sizes, it looks like the perdomo (red) is a torpedo.

CI sells boxes of 20 of these for $60 ($70 for greycliff). I might pick my favorite and use it for an every day sort of smoke cause these are bargain.

These are actually very nice smokes. I have bought the trial packs a few times. The camacho is very good.

I've have a couple gifted to me but haven't given them a try yet. I'll have to do that soon

 

[Terrasco]

I have been curious about those. Seemed like a good deal Thanks for the review. I think I'll be trying some.

Sorry to resurrect a 4 year old thread, but I'm very curious about these.

How do you fellow brothers feel about these? Do the blends chalk up to the legendary quality of their master blenders?

The DPG and Drew Estate ones have me particularly intrigued.

The yellow band (DPG) is my personal favorite, have purchased them several times.

The yellow band (DPG) is my personal favorite, have purchased them several times.

Are they quite obviously a DPG blend? Or is it like "DPG-esque"?

I'm just wondering what the quality is like. I absolutely LOVE DPG smokes, the Blue being my favorite.

I'm wondering if I should hop on a box purchase since they're so damn reasonably priced.

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

They have the spice and kick of a Pepin cigar and they are made by him for CI!

 

[Trumpetchris]

Yellow (Pepin) rocks. Also a fan of the Orange and the original camacho (white, I believe).

 

[Psojka RP,601]

Yeah i am a whore for the rocky and perdomo series. they are great smokes.

 

[torin]

not a bad smoke, i have tried a few and i would say the copper drew estate is a decent smoke.

 

[Fourtotheflush]

The price on these hs usually turned me off.
I find that they are almost as much as a blend by the original So why bother with these 'knockoffs'? I havent had any, but thats my feelings on them. AM I way off base here?

I am shocked to say I havent had a bad CI Legend yet.
