Made by the award-winning Rocky Patel, the Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend is a very good cigar, worth the coin if you were to pay even full retail prices. Indian Tabac is the initial line of cigars that began to establish Rocky Patel as a cigar maker worth watching. Today, the line represents Rocky’s value play in the market. This particular cigar is a classic example of great maduro cigar at a good price.
Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic with a well-balanced, smooth-smoking blend of four-year-aged longfiller tobaccos. These big ring gauge beauties are rolled with your choice of four-year-aged Brazilian-grown Cameroon or U.S. Connectictut Broadleaf Maduro wrappers, which perfectly complement the vintage Dominican Corojo and Brazilian Mata Fina long-leaf tobaccos.
Masterfully blended and aged to perfection, this flavorful medium-bodied cigar pleases the palate with its assertive bouquet of robust flavors. These wide-ring cigars hit on all cylinders with complex flavors laced with creamy notes of earthiness and sweet spice. An outstanding ‘must try’ cigar you’ll want to smoke right down to the nub.

The dark Cameroon wrapper was oily smooth but did have two long veins running along the side. One thing you notice right away is the massiveness of the cigar. It comes in with a ring gauge size of 60 – expect to smoke this bad boy for a while. Although classified as a full-bodied cigar, it’s closer to medium-bodied in strength.
It has a good draw but the burn was a little uneven in the first third. You start to taste a hint of spice 15 minutes into the cigar but not the type of heat I was expecting. The dark ash held firmly for 2-inches before tapping off. The draw really opens up in the second third producing billows of smoke. However, I was anticipating more spice and peppers in the flavor profile. The burn does eventually even out. No flavor change occurs in the final third. A very consistent cigar throughout.
Overall, I would recommend the Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend even though the flavor profile wasn’t full-bodied. The large ring size lets you know that you’re smoking a beast of a cigar. Truly enjoyable, as it took almost 90 minutes to finish the cigar. As long as you’re not expecting the heat, it makes for an excellent cigar choice.
