Indian Tabac Tomahawk, Corojo

This was our cigar for the February Herfers.com Herf. It was a very good smoke. The cigar was light and I tasted hints of vanilla cream, a slight woody taste that I couldn’t really recognize, and towards the end I was tasting a touch of pepper. The vanilla cream taste lasted through the entire cigar and it never got hot at the end. There was plenty of smoke, it burned evenly and I never had to re-light it.

I got 5 sticks for the herfers.com exchange, and I look forward to smoking the other 4 of these.

Indian Tabac, Natural

Indian Tabac Super Fuerte cigars offer a rich, complex-tasting, box-pressed edition with a nutty flavor, extraordinary balance, and no bite.

I didn’t taste anything specific in this cigar. The flavor was good, but I couldn’t really place it. Perhaps it was nutty, I didn’t taste it all that well. But I do like the smoke alot, it was better than the Indian Tabac Buffalo that I smoked last and not as harsh as the Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro that was my first smoke.

I bought a 5-pack of these and I will definitely look forward to smoking another one.

Indian Tabac Limited Reserve Buffalo

So this is only my second Indian Tabac to smoke and I wanted to try a more mild cigar because this last one that I smoked was their Super Fuerte Maduro and it was quite dark and bold, almost a little too much, but I will probably smoke one again someday anyway.

This cigar is made in Nestor Plasencia’s Honduran factory, each is draped in cedar, concealing a flawless, Connecticut-seed wrapper leaf underneath. This leaf is grown under Ecuador’s natural mountain mist, yielding an exceedingly smooth wrapper with an oily sheen, yet I found that the wrapper flaked off at the tip after I cut it.

Quite frankly, since the maduro smoke was so bold and heavy, I expected more from this lighter stick. I liked the flavor and the draw was quite good, plenty of smoke, it just wasn’t as heavy as I was hoping. My next purchase will probably be the Natural wrapper, which is between this one and the Super Fuerte.

I’ll rate this cigar at a B. This would be a good smoke for someone who likes lighter cigars or perhaps a beginning smoker.

Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Toro, Maduro

Super Fuerte means super strong, and this cigar was definitely strong. It started somewhat bitter, though not too much, and was full of smoke and a hearty, maduro full-flavor. This Vitola measures 6×52 and are hand-made in Honduras, with filler from Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. It burned quite evenly. About 1/5 of the way into the cigar, the bitterness went away and I got just a very deep, dark, maduro mouth full of smoke.

Frankly this smoke was a little heavy for me. I like Maduro cigars most of the time, but this was just a little too much. I am very interested to try their Natural wrapper cigar because the flavor of the Maduro was quite nice, just a tad too strong for my tastes. I’d rate this smoke at a B+.
