Puros Indios Toro Especial (M)

Lot's of flavor, without a trace of bitterness.
Emmaculate construction.

The cigar feels good in your hand, a little on the light side for such girth. The draw was very easy and ful clouds of smoke filled the palate. The tastes were straight forward. Not too strong, medium at most. Very one dimensional, earthy. Did not thrill me, but I have had worse smokes.

6 x 60 monster in size only. Starts with a grassy taste that soon give way to a mild maduro flavor. Good burn with a very flaky ash. If you smoke this one inside wear a bib and have the vacuum handy. The cigar itself is too big. A 54 ring gauge about as large as I can enjoy, but hey when I can get a decent smoke for a buck I can suffer a jawbreaker.

This had been in the box for about a year.
I got sick of looking at it. Ecuadorian wrapper was very shiny and handsome in a rustic way. Decent burn. Slightly tight draw that was smoke stingy and smoked on the hot side. Had to work a bit at this for what at times early on was tasty but overall rather mundane and boring. Not overly impressed. This might be nice for someone starting out.
(I am not 100% sure this was the maduro. The wrapper was a deep, reddish, dark, dark, brown not black) I'll enter 3.00 for PP.

I realy love the flavor of this line. And it would definitely fill a niche in my humidor. But I don't know how many more poorly constructed sticks I'll be able to handle before I give up. This time the draw was nice, and the smoke was big, but it got very spongy, very fast and burned unevenly. . .ah well.

Like the IP Rothschild maduro, these were an acceptably good smoke, maybe even a little better. I have no complaints other than it’s not quite as good as my favorite cigar in this price range, Punch double maduro. The Indios would be an acceptable substitute if I wanted a dark flavorful cigar and didn’t have access to the Punch DM. Construction, draw, and burn were all flawless.

At first I wasn't sure if I would like this smoke, then it opened up a little after a few puffs. A warm toasty smoke with just enough dimension to hold my attention. Right after the halfway mark it got very tasty and I had about 10 real solid puffs, but not quite a nubber, put it out a little over an inch. A well built smoke that satisfies, but not my cup 'o' tea.

This cigar met my needs at the time. Well constructed with plenty of taste. Liked the cocoa with a hint of pepper at the end. Plenty of smoke that was suitably satisfactory without taking the paint of the walls. Will buy some more.

Even burn with nice ash. Consistent smoke from beginning to end. Excellent smoke for the price. An excellent everyday cigar.
