CI Legends Red Label

Noting the red color, I was expecting a strong cigar. Not so in strength, but it is in taste, but well tamed! I may be mistaken on this comparison, but it’s similar to another favorite of mine, the CAO Black], in that it has a very nice pepper & spice thing going for it that’s very enjoyable because it’s not overpowering and harsh on the mouth.

The aroma is overly herbal with a few layers including toast and chocolate. It’s an enticing smell with a lot of character to keep the interest!

And it’s not a one-trick pony, it does evolve halfway-through to mellow out with a more relaxed, sweeter taste. The aroma remains consistent.

I really enjoyed this cigar, very well balanced, a nice easy draw and some complex flavours and aromas that really hit home with me.
