Quick Smoke: Puros Indios Piramide No. 2
14 Mar 2009
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
When I reviewed the shorter Piramide No. 3 two years ago to the day, I found its harsh flavors and numerous combustion flaws to be less than enticing. Thankfully, the six and a half inch by 54 ring gauge Piramide No. 2 doesn’t fall into the same traps. But with a dry, unbalanced flavor that remains consistent to a fault, it is very forgettable. I’d save this modestly priced blend of Ecuadorian, Dominican, Brazilian, and Nicaraguan tobaccos for the golf course or the poker table.
Verdict = Hold.

I've found that all Puros Indios benefit GREATLY by 12 to 15 months aging. They go from harsh and somewhat hollow to rich, smooth, earthy, full-flavored and thoroughly enjoyable!
