Description:

CI Lendges Grey Lable, decription from CI--
Cusano is a top-notch boutique brand with a solid reputation for making high quality super-premiums at a very affordable price. The secret lies within the blending process, as Mike Cusano employs several premium wrapper leaves to create a unique smoke with layers of flavor and a smooth, enjoyable character. Their CI Legends is no different. A beautiful Connecticut shade wrapper leaf graces this beauty, which contains an additional Connecticut wrapper within an aged blend of premium, Dominican long-fillers. Mild to medium in body, but teeming with flavor, this cigar envelops your taste buds with a creamy, buttery smooth flavor that smacks of dry, sweet wood due to an extensive aging process in Spanish cedar. The aftertaste is crisp, with a clean tobacco taste that keeps you coming back for more. The burn is slow and true, allowing you to truly appreciate the soothing, mellow flavors at play.

Pros:	smoth creamy flavor
Cons:

Scent of Wrapper: Cedar mild earth sent
Wrapper: This wrapper is a beautiful Connecticut Shad wrapper that is silky to the touch and a wonderful shade of light brown. I noticed no blemishes on any of these cigars that I have tried (5 so for)
Feel: Squishy cigar but not spongy. Like I mentioned the wrapper was silky smooth.
Flavor on Draw: Very mild creamy flavor on the initial draw. VERY Smooth.
Taste: This smoke is full of creamy flavors throughout the smoke. The smoke have a very mild flavor of cedar. The main flavor I was tasting was a very nice an smooth creamy tobacco flavor. The smoke that comes from this beauty is thick and almost like velvet while in the mouth. While exhaling through the nose, you could feel the mild undertones of this cigar.
Strength: This is a mild cigar in my view, even thought CI states it is Medium.
Feeling: This cigar was a very relaxing and rich smoking experience. It just felt good with the velvety smoke and the mellow flavor profile. Very enjoyable smoking experience.
Scent of Smoke: I was on my front porch and there was a hint of the cedar smell in the smoke but again a very mild cigar.
Heat on Finders and in Mouth: Within the last inch there was some heat that was experienced, not much but there was some.
Draw: Very good draw, not lose, not tight, but in my opinion perfect.
Finish: Nice mild finish.
Other aspects of the Cigar Smoking Experience: Really this was just a fine smoking experience, would like to see what some more age does to these cigars.
