I too stay away from Puros Indios. Too many construction and, yes, flavor issues. Judging by what these cigars are now going for online, I think a lot of folks must have had similar experiences.

[...] I’ve steered clear of Puros Indios since my subpar experience with a harsh and physically flawed Piramide No. 3. But I’ve been told by a reliable source that the relatively obscure Double Maduro line is worth [...]

[...] The 6.12 inch by 52 ring gauge Classic Belicoso boasts a beautiful Connecticut Ecuadorian wrapper with a light yellow hue and few veins. The portrait-style band is nostalgic and beckoning, and the cigar is fairly firm to the touch. I’m not sure if this is intentional, but I noticed a slight trumpet-like shape (a feature that’s much more pronounced in stogies like the Puros Piramide). [...]

I don't think you got duds, Patrick. Sounds like typical PI to me. After years of second chances, I've given up on Puros Indios, Cuba Aliados and all things Reyes. Just not worth the trouble. The construction is wildly inconsistent, and the flavor isn't payback enough for my patience. Almost always grassy and tart. The only consistently decent Reyes smokes I've had are, oddly enough, the JR Special Coronas.

Good Review and comments!

Due to the wide range of reports it looks like this is gonna have to be a "try with caution" stogie.

Gents,

For what it's worth, I smoked three of these (not all at once, of course) before writing the review. I suppose it's possible that I got three bad ones from the batch.

But given the fact that many readers like Sam had good experiences with the brand, it seems like the only thing that's consistent for Puros Indios is inconsistency.

Patrick -

I smoked a lot of Puros Indios a few years ago but over time I found them so inconsistent that I cut them back to an occasional smoke. I though they were quite enjoyable when they were good, but too often they were troubled in just the ways you describe.
