What are everyone's thoughts on this cigar? I didn't see anything about it on the first couple pages of the review forum, so I figured I'd ask here. The blitz looks too good to pass up, I'm just a hesitant to buy a bunch of cigars that I've never tried before. Do you guys love it, hate it, or eh whatever? Anything you would compare it to?

I have heard not so nice things about this cigar...might wanna do a search under the Ratings and Reviews.

I bought a bunch of the torpedos and have yet to try them. Soon though. If I don't like them, them they are cheap enough to give out.

Yeah, I have some of those Torp's. as well. I also have burned thru several of these bundles and I like these sticks, and for the price?... c'mon.rwheelwright:I bought a bunch of the torpedos and have yet to try them. Soon though. If I don't like them, them they are cheap enough to give out.
There has been some discussion of these sticks before, but I can only remember Maddy as a person who didn't care for them.
I know I will be jumping on 1 or 2 of these. -
They have a typical Reyes family flavor profile... I have the maduros and like them... they are more of a morning stick to me and somewhere south of medium. All Reyes lines seem to have a consistancy in regard to the profile... some do not like any reyes cigars, I am inclined to most all of their sticks I have tried YMMV

I wrote a review on this particular cigar over the summer. I really do not like this cigar. I only smoke a very small portion and then retired it to the yard. The draw was loose, it tasted harsh and looked bad. I bought a bundle of 20. The color difference from stick to stick was actually quite funny. I nearly glued them to a vest to make some camoflauge! I returned them and got a refund. Everyone needs to make their own opinion and I certainly don't want to cost Cigar.com any potential business. I would suggest trying 1 and not getting stuck with 20 if your intriqued. The deal certainly seems attractive but if you remember 1 important thing, quality is more important than quantity then you won't go wrong.

When I very first started out I smoked a lot of these, I liked them a lot then, now they are w/e... I don't hate them like many do, how ever I don't love them either.
-
I tried the regular line of Puros indios and did not care for them. I recved a Viejo in a trade once and smoked it, as other people have mentioned they have their particular flavor profile. Personally I find them to be a little bleh. I blame the placebo effect...... or something hahaha

I went ahead and purchased a bundle of the Toro, Maduro's. My thinking is to have these available when I have friends over that don't smoke cigars often. You all know the ones, grind it in the ashtray after 3-4 puffs. Should work great for them. i personally have never had one. Really looking forward to them after reading this thread. LoL.
-
I am going to give them a try for 29.99. I do enjoy a wide range of flavor profiles and the very least I will smoke them up at work and save my good sticks if they are not good.
-
Well after trying some of the Puros Indios I don't know why there would be any negative comments on them. They have smoked beautiful and had great flavor. What else do you need.
-
I bought some for a trip to deer camp. The family members I go with don't smoke cigars often, I didn't want to waste my good ones, so I couldn't pass this deal up.
-
This is what is awesome about our hobby (obsession??) is that there will not be one smoke that pleases everyone. I'm glad you enjoy them! Peace, Nickfla-gypsy:Well after trying some of the Puros Indios I don't know why there would be any negative comments on them. They have smoked beautiful and had great flavor.

I really enjoy the Viejo. It's a daily smoke for me. The taste, fit in the hand and mouth, and smooth draw are what keeps me going to them. I've only smoked the maduro viejo, so I can't speak for any of the other Puros Indios smokes.
-
I've gone through several bundles of the toro sized, Sumatra wrapped Viejos and like them as a pleasent daily cigar. I will be ordering the maduro version soon to give them a try. For a $2 stoogie they can't be beat (IMHO). They may have a bit of inconsistancy in color and texture, but all of the ones I have recieved have been well constructed and have burned well. Give 'em a try, even at the regular price they are a good deal! Cheers!

I just burned one of theses today, sitting out by the pool and reading...I really enjoyed it. I got it thru a PIF on Puff.com
-
Just had my first one of these... honestly they're good. I kinda liked it. Might have to pick up a few more.

Well guys, I obviously didn't pick up the blitz a couple of weeks ago, but was intriuged enough to pick up a couple sticks anyway. Like many said, there's not much to lose for the price. I should have them in by Monday but will give em at least a month to rest before I try one. I'll definitely revive this thread after I enjoy one to throw in my $.02. BTW - I can't believe this thread by a little ol n00b like myself has kept going. Helped my decision to pick up a few -- with this much input (good, bad and indifferent), I figured 'might as well'. Thanks to all for your input!
Oh yeah, I picked up the maduros.
