Yesterday I was able to thoroughly enjoy the Puros Indios Viejo cigar. It was an excellent cigar that was a pure delight to smoke, it was amazing. The Viejo has a dark rich taste like a strong dark chocolate, it lasted for quite a while, but on of the best parts was the aroma it put off, simply amazing! I believe mine was the toro, as it was 6" long and had a ring size of 53, making it a good sized cigar, on the higher end of a medium sized cigar. The wrapper was a somewhat dark leaf, with an earthy look to it; it was a medium strength cigar, maybe a bit much for a beginner, but not too much. Before I even lit the cigar, it was giving of such a sweet/earthy aroma, a strange mix of words I know, but it worked. When I first lit the cigar it started up very nicely, but had a little too loose of a draw, but that soon faded within the first inch of the cigar, and after it kept a good consistent draw. Right off the bat the flavor of the cigar was deep, rich, and heavy; it tasted like letting a good piece of dark chocolate melt on your tongue. I experimented with the taste and kept a drag in my mouth for a minute, and the longer I left it in my mouth the richer the flavor became, and would start to tingle the end of my tongue. It also had a hint of spice in it which helped compliment the heavy richness of the cigar. The smoke itself was a thick and creamy white that lingered in the air for a second before floating away, and it gave off the same smell of the cigar that was just intoxicating; I recieved compliments on the smell from anyone that was able to get a whiff of it. Now, if it sounds like I am praising this cigar without giving any criticism, its because there wasn't really anything bad about this cigar. It has deep earthy tones of flavor with some dark chocolate thrown in, has enough strength to be enjoyed, and gives off the most superb smell you can get from a cigar. As mentioned before, the only problem I had was with the beginning of the cigar being packed too loose, but even that got better within the first inch of the cigar.The cigar also lasted me nearly an hour-and-a-half, and that was at a medium pace of smoking it. I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar and was very pleased with it overall, definately going to be exploring more from Puros Indios. I would say that this cigar would be accompanied well with a good hearty meal, such as a good steak. Though I wasn't able to try it, I think that coffee would a good compliment to this cigar as well; I'll have to check that out and get back to you on it. So obviously I would recomend this cigar to people, an experienced smoker will definately enjoy the tastes and smells that come from this cigar, though it may be a little strong for a beginner. If you are a beginner, don't be afraid of it, just be aware that you may find it overbearing if your not ready for it. But absolutely worth a try at least once, you won't be disappointed. So thats my review for the Puros Indios Viejo, hopefully it was helpful for you.
The best of smokes to you gents,
Shane
