Pepin CI Legends Comparison

Can anyone who has had the CI Yellow label Pepin tell me how they compare to the Serie JJ naturals? I love the JJs. TIA.

Re: Pepin CI Legends Comparison

I think they are no where near as good as the JJ's.

Not even close taste and complexity wise.

Re: Pepin CI Legends Comparison

Personally, I think they are pretty good. I think each person will tell you something differerent, as I think they are as good, if not better than the JJs. With that in mind, I've only had one Legend.

Re: Pepin CI Legends Comparison

The Legends are a decent smoke, but no where near the JJ. JJ's are about $8 each vs $3 or less for the Legends. Legends are just above the Fundadores imho. Also, most of my box of Legends are very loosely filled, the draw is very free.

Re: Pepin CI Legends Comparison

I found the Yellow label Legends to be flat and boring with little flavor and of the 5 pack I smoked, all had a tight draw with little smoke volume. Not good in my book, but also not like a typical Pepin smoke.

The JJ's, which aren't high on my Pepin list are far superior to the Legends IMHO.

Re: Pepin CI Legends Comparison

I agree with what was said above. The Legend is fine but it is very loosely rolled and lacks complexity.
