One surprise in the above responses ...
Legion was not mentioned until the 10th response ...
Absolute worst cigar, bar none, I've ever tried ...
Got a box of these about a year ago ... lit one and kept hoping it'd smooth out part way through, but NOOOOO ... it got worse ... by the time I nubbed it (a robusto size nub) I was easily able to say it was by far the worst smoke I ever tried ...
Amazingly, I gave one to my neighbor and he liked it ... I thought he was either BSing me or being incredibly polite, but then a few weeks later, he actually asked if I had another ... difficult as it was to do, I did not burst into laughter, but said, "hey, let me take a look" ...
Through the spring, he raved about them so much, I got wondering if a few months in the humi had been some sort of magic-wand turn around on these guys ... I sent one as an "extra" in a trade I'd made and smoked one myself, anticipating something good had happened to them ... BBBZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTT !!!!! W R O N G !!
Can't remember who I sent that awful stick to ... whoever it was never said a word ... unless he's got an indiscriminate neighbor like mine, I'm sure he used it for bug repellant or just tossed it out ... thought the neighbor had smoked the last of them before he went off to the national police academy in August, but I find I've still got one ... only one. At last, the last one ... I'm thinking it will be a nice gift to the neighbor this weekend when we get together to celebrate his successful completion of a difficult training ... he'll bring a glass of his boxed wine and I'll give him the Legion cigar ... and we'll both be happy.
