CI Legends by Graycliff (Purple Label)
Size: 5.7" by 54
Tobacco: Dominican, Nicaragua, Brazil, Indonesian wrapper
Price: $3.50

I had a Legends Purple (Graycliff). Tasted very similar to the Profesionale: yummy. good draw, no burn problems, medium body, lots of spice.

I thought the cigar was soft in spots, and I noticed some very small leaves near the cap when I clipped it. Made me think this might be a sandwich cigar, not long filler.

Easily the best of the CI Legends I've tried so far.

I was really enjoying one of these the other day after work. It was nice, a little on the mild side, great aroma and lots of smoke. However, about 2/3 of the way through the stick I got a big mouth full of absolute nastiness. Really strong ammonia-like flavor. Horrible. I didn't touch the stick after that. Didn't try to purge it -- nothing. Just let it die out in the ashtray. I literally had to go inside and rinse the taste from my mouth. I don't know what caused it (and I probably don't want to know), but I never want to experience that again. shudder
