PI Special Maduro

[CSMAnderson]

The Puros Indios Special Maduro was a 6 1/4x 55/56 sized cigar. The silver and black band showed up nicely against the maduro wrapper. This cigar was gifted too me Frankie Santos.

Prelight - The maduro wrapper is a nice medium brown with some veins but shouldn't cause any problem. The prelight draw gives the flavor of light chocolate and nuts.

ASh & Burn - The ash is firm and a silvery gray in color. It stayed on for an inch before I tapped it off. The cigar burned a little unevenly and I had to touch it up a few times.

The Experience - The cigar started off with the light chocolate flavor I mentioned above and I noticed a sweetness flavor of some sort also. I would say this is cigar is a little short of medium with a good deal of complexity of light chocolate, nuts and caramel. The Special Maduro is not overpowering and is a real smooth cigar.

Conclusion - This is a very good mild to medium, flavorful cigar. As with most PI cigars this is not an overpowering or harsh cigar. I have never sen this cigar in a B&M or on line. This makes me wonder if it's this is one of those cigars made for consumption by the inner circle of the Reyes'. You know not for sale but a favorite blend of the management. I bet you could smoke 2-3 of these in a row and not get any harshness or aftertaste. To me this cigar tasted like the Reyes anni with a maduro wrapper. Good cigar a worth having around when you want a mild to medium flavorful cigar.
