This has become my favorite cigar, considering affordability. I like oher cigars more, but will not pay the price everyday. The Puros Indios is an excellent smoke; easy draw, excellent flavor and aroma, nice burn. The Toro is a good 45 min to hour smoke.

A very good toro. At 6x54 it is a large cigar that packs a lot of punch. Enjoyed it with some Old Forrester Bourbon at the Ultimate Cigar in Morrow, Ga.

Draw was firm due to a great amount of tobacco packed into this one. Lots of roasted flavors and great construction.

"Don Rolando da man!"
Rolando Reyes knows how to blend tobacco....plain and simple. Sure, this smoke has some blemishes and burns a little askew, but at the end of the day, his blend produces a great, slow burn of sweet, nutty flavor. This cigar doesn't promise the moon.....it's just a great, inexpensive cigar.

"fair"
I can't really say anything too amazing about this cigar. Sort of has a strange sugary like pre-light smell to it and you know the smoke is going to be kind of funky, which it is. Sort of a mildly bitter and sugary wood smoke is the best way I can describe it, if you can imagine that. Tastes very Honduran. Very one-dimensional. Not the kind of cigar you'd really write home about, but nothing terrible either.
Burn and construction are fine, but the taste is just too boring to really interest me.

"Good value smoke"
This was my first PI which was picked up from a smoke shop in San Antonio. It's a nice looking stick and felt great in the hand. Not much of an aroma to it though. Once lit, clouds of smoke soon developed but still not much aroma. The flavour was pretty much pepper to start and I didn't think I was going to enjoy the experience. However, once about 3/4 of an inch into the smoke things definitely improved. The flavour became warm, nutty and full of semi-sweet tobacco. Ash was incredible and wouldn't budge even with some encouragement! I would consider it a mild to medium bodied smoke that stayed consistent all the way to within 2" after which it became to harsh and hot for me. I would certainly try these again, especially at the price of $3.50 that I paid........exceptional value. It's not an exceptional cigar though but not a bad alternative from my everyday smokes.

"A little better."
Well i've smoked a lot of IP, but found this one a to have a bit more body than a lot of them. Like the rest not the greatest construction and burn, but pretty good. And the flavor was earthy. Over all this is a decent smoke.

"Enjoyable enough"
Lots of leather at the start gives way to gobs of earthy smoke. This medium to full bodied stick isn't categorically what I usually smoke, but how can you turn down a free cigar? Regardless, I was pleasently surprised. Looked decent and burnt fairly well, with a strong, clinging ash.

"Play it again Sam"
The one saving grace with this cigar is that it is cheap and easy to find. Loose draw, fair burn, consistent mild flavors throughout with hints of floral, long finish, mushy towards the end of the smoke.

"Confusing...."
Have you ever smoked a stick where you didn't exactly care for the flavor but actually enjoyed the experience? Well, me either until I bought a box of these. Some bitterness and poor burn do not ruin this smoke, they just keep it from being great. 60% flavor profile of regular PIs but this one has something extra that makes it a little stronger and unique. I find myself going back to these.

"After all the good reviews, was disappointed"
The cigar was consistent throughout. Pretty mild cigar, but seemed to lack and real flavor. I've had many much better mild smokes. It burned at an angle the whole length. I probably won't buy again, I surprised at all the very high reviews.

"Decent, but not box-worthy"
I got a couple in a sampler pack and I would buy them again (maybe a different size/shape). The one I smoked was a little plugged and didn't have much smoke. It did have good flavor throughout and burned well till the end. I would recommend giving them a try if the price is right.

"Pleasant"
silky conneticut wrapper - some wrapper imperfections that would probably make this a second with most makers.
1st smoke: Slightly difficult draw, but still smokable...Very very smooth and pleasant. A hint of cream and extremely sweet. ash held on for over 2 inches before I got rid of it...Should improve hugely with some time in the humidor.

"Down to the Nub..."
The PI Toro is a terrific everyday heater that sometimes suffers from young tobacco. I sat on this one for 12 months, and it developed into a truely awesome smoke! Lipsmacking good!
