2nd 3rd: Mostly the same. Not truly offensive, but not really interesting. Had to have a serious purge to correct some tunneling. Oily bitter, and faint sweet tobacco and mild ash flavor.

:smiley36:

have to admit i didnt care much for them either, very disappointing.. glad to know someone else had the same experience.

Most cigars from Puro Indios are just so-so. I don't think they have access to the top quality tobacco anymore. These cigars are way overpriced. I will smoke a Puros Indios Siembra de Oro Palma Real Maduro for $1.75 over these anyday. They way I see it anything coming from Puros Indios is a yard gar at best.
