First try: Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro

Okay, I figured I'd try reviewing a cigar, even though I'm sure everyone here has tried this.

Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro Toro:

Construction was very nice, with a smooth oily wrapper (now I know what that means)
Pre-light draw was a little tight, and spicy on the tip of the tongue
I kind of butchered the light, so I won't remark on that, even thought toward the end it evened out.
Taste was strong, I couldn't pull out any specific flavors while smoking, especially initially. The taste mellowed about halfway through before picking up again toward the end. Now in the aftertaste, I can pick up a little coffee and chocolate that I've heard about.

I smoked this while drinking an Irish cream on the rocks and the cigar really brought out the flavor in the drink, which I really enjoyed. Overall, it was a good smoke, but a little strong for me at this point. I'll have to look out for that super fuerte tag in the future.

Good review. Them there Indian Tubacs are a good smoke for a good price. I love the Cameroon Legends.

What kind of Irish Cream were you partaking in? I need to get my hands on some. I love it.

I'm cheap, so I stick with Ryan's, which is 9 bucks for a fifth. Like I said, I don't have a very refined palate, so the good stuff is generally lost on me.
