Corona Chair-Holder's review: The Legend-Ario


Size:            6x54 Figurado Puro
Wrapper:      Honduran
Binder:         Honduran
Filler:           Honduran
Notes:          Strength Medium to Full. Earthy with a bit of sweetness and a hint of pepper.  The burn is even with some pourous, dark gray ash.

The Camacho Legend-Ario has a rich, earthy flavor throughout. It starts out with a bit of a pepper flavor and becomes meaty with sweet earthy tones. The Camacho Legend-Ario has a coarse appearance and feel, but is certainly solid and well constructed. The wrapper is dark and oily and seamless without much veins. The pre-light draw has very little taste with just a hint of sweet tobacco.  The second third is the "sweet spot" where the earthy becomes prevalent throughout.
 
Like many of the Camacho brand cigars, the Camacho Legend-Ario is still filled with all Honduran tobacco (with the exception of the Connecticut line), and the finest authentic Corojo fillers. The tobacco is grown in the Jamastran Valley in Honduras -a region where perfect soil and ideal climate can compare to Cuba`s renowned Vuelta Abajo Region known for it's sweet bold spice of Cuban cigars.
 
A good single barrel aged Kentucky bourbon pairs well with the Legend-Ario such as Eagle Rare or Buffalo Trace (Thanks to fellow Corona Chair-Holder Mr. Wellman for the introduction of this fine brand) 
 
The Corona Smokeshop has a good stock of different sizes from the 6x50 Toro, 6x60 Bertha and 8x60 Super Bertha - all reasonably priced from $6.75 to $8.00.  This week they have great specials on these fine sticks.  I suggest a post-work smoke as you'll need some time to enjoy.  On a scale from 1 to 5 (5 being exceptional) I give it a 3.75.
