Apparently the Legends series are CI's challenge to major producers to make a premium cheapie. I've tried a couple, they're okay, nothing to invent a new religion over. This one's decent, but it's no Pepin Blue or Cuban Classic.
Eiroa Maduro robusto - pretty strong but a really good smoke

Jimmy, how does the Handy compare to the Buffalo Trace Sazarac Rye?..Looks delicious......Had BT Rye and a Blantons single Barrel during Cigarfest....All gone.Quote:

He may look innocent to you, but you're not the one who smoked what I thought was a cheroot that tasted like figs and monkey crap....Quote:

Thanks for helping me take a step back to try a classic smoke I'd bypassed.

Tonight's situation
http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/...psx7rdptn9.jpg
Late getting here, Friday afternoon smoke. My Father #3 Crema...6x49. Once that triple cap's cut is smooth sailing all the way, near razor sharp burn line, no touch-ups or relights needed, just relaxing with some Rum & Coke, and re-re-reading a good book. Now unless it"s already Monday, weekend"s under way.Could mean smoking a cigar, maybe even two if there's some Sunshine on tap.
Not yet but I have a 5'r landing today [emoji41]Quote:

Bob (@allusred) 7 days without any sun so I hope that you're right about the forecast. My zinnia and morning glory seedlings are almost all dead, petunias are too tiny to tell.
Pete, what did you think of the cigar? I've got a couple of those left from the same year and haven't had one since about 2014.

No pic, but a nice Regius Black label Corona from @WNYTONY . Really nice cigar.
Thanks for costing me money, Tony. Now I have to get some more before the FDA bullshit causes things to change!!
Hi Tim (@Cardinal),
The Pinar del Rio Sungrown are ok, not special, a tad better with age but not a lot.
I find that I need to keep the Pinar del Rios (Seleccione, Sun Grown, Oscuro and Classico) at a rh ~70, otherwise they burn too fast and lose flavor (if dryer), the Classico a bit less than the others. The Sun Grown wrappers flake too much for my liking, an annoyance more than critical but I fight them towards the end.
The Pinar sampler bundles (5 each of the above) are mostly decent smokes, I like the Classico best - most consistent and a good Ecuadorian CT wrapper. The Seleccione are fuller and the best when they smoke well but that's bundle to bundle. I got these for ~$29/bundle of 20 so no complaints.
No reason not to smoke yours when you please.
Pete
Thank you! A month or two ago I smoked a Seleccione from the same 2013 purchase and it was pretty good - enough so that I wished I had bought a few more at that time.Quote:
