The Legends Series is a very special project that has grown enormously in popularity among our customers, as well as our suppliers. Rewind to the past, we asked 4 of the world?s top cigar makers to create the best damn cigar they could, with two constraints. 1) Each cigar had to be 5.75? x 54 in size and 2) the cigar has to retail under $5 per cigar. It became free game, as each maker did the rest of the work, comprising a blend that he felt was the ultimate handmade, dollar for dollar. Since this time, 8 more top-notch makers have joined in the fun, with several others chomping at the bits to accompany them. That?s Legends, a ?best of the best? collection of boutique beauties that epitomize the cigar industry?s true talent.Nestor Plasencia is a natural fit when it comes to the Legends Series. His role in the cigar industry is limitless. For one, he grows and owns a large majority of the tobacco used to create cigars throughout Central America. In fact, the cigar you?re enjoying right now probably includes tobaccos from his farms. Secondly, he rolls cigars for today?s best brands, including Rocky Patel, Gurkha, and Alec Bradley, to name a few, in his various factories throughout Central America. Of course, he makes a generous handful of cigars under his own label, which are downright delicious
Nestor?s blend for the Legends Series easily ranks among the finest cigars to come out of any of his factories. The outer leaf is dark and oily, a Broadleaf maduro that?s chock full of flavor. Inside, a well-aged mixture of Cuban-seed Nicaraguan long-fillers awaits, ready to release a medium-bodied bouquet. The flavors are rich and deep, with toasty notes of wood and roasted coffee, with ample spice to complete each puff. Smooth down to the nub, the Legends by Nestor Plasencia is top-notch all around.
