Puros Huerfanos Blend 143 Review

Famous-Smoke Description:
Strength: Full
Size: 6 x 38 Lancero
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Natural
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan

Puros Huerfanos 143 cigars, shrouded in secrecy, are akin to a well-known brand hailed throughout the industry as one of the most flavorful blends ever. Rich and full-bodied, grab a seat and let these long 'n strong ligas take you for an unforgettable ride at a fraction of their original price.

Review:

Construction:
*Almost seemless and very smooth wrapper with subtle veins
*Very dark and some what dry appearance
Pre-Light:
*Sweet and spicy smell at the foot
*Medium to tight draw but seems ok to smoke
*Sweet flavor and peppery on the lips
1st 1/3:
*Tons of spice through the nose and on front of the tounge
*I noticed a pleasant sweet finish after spice subsides
*Aside from the spicey front and sweet finish there isn't too much
complexity
*This cigar is very light on the pallet through the first third and I would say
it's medium bodied thus far
*The burn has been nearly flawless and it's provided a loose salt and
pepper colored ash
2nd 1/3
*Through this portion of the cigar, the pepper and spice seemed to take
the back seat to the sweetness which was a nice change
*As I got further into the 2nd 1/3 I noticed the spice was almost non-
existant and the cigar started to become a bit one dimensional (bland
with a sweet finish or after-taste)
*The burn and ash have remained consistant with lots of smoke through a
medium draw which stayed fairly cool
Final 1/3:
*WOW! A spice sandwich. Spicey(1st 1/3) - Bland(2nd 1/3) - Spicey(final)
*I also noticed this cigar picked up some steam and gained some shoulders
as a medium to full bodied smoke
*In addition to the rebirth of spice I picked up some wood/cedar tones to
make this portion of the cigar much more complex than the first 2/3
*No complaints about contruction for this stick
*To the nub this smoke continued to offer a very sweet finish that
reminded me of an RP Sungrown or La Riqueza maybe
Final Thoughts:
The Puros Huerfanos Blend 143 Lancero gets a C grade in my book as an
average cigar. I smoked the Robusto size and found it to have much more
depth which is shocking to me as the lanceros have usually proven the
opposite. However, I do find this to be an affordable anytime of day cigar.
This is also the 1st in this size I have smoked and I look forward to another
try.

Thanks for your time! :tu

Nice Review!!

The differences between the sizes you smoked are no surprise. Mainly because they are two completely different blends.

I highlighted the differences on another thread...

All made in Nicaragua

PH 143 = Strong, bold, full bodied cigar. Only available in Lancero.
PH 52X = Mild and sweet yet flavorful. Great morning smoke with coffee. Available in 4 sizes.
PH 681 = Full flavored and rich but bot overpowering. The most popular blend of the three.

These are 'orphaned' cigars from the same manufacturer. Originally, these cigars were produced to be incorporated into other well known brands but, for whatever reason, these particular sizes were removed from the lineup and re-packaged into this new brand exclusive to Famous, at literally a fraction of the 'name brand' prices. Unfortunately, we've been asked to keep a lid on the brands they were to be a part of and the manufacturer who makes them. We've complied with that request. I will say, though, that the three brands in question have been smoked and enjoyed by many on this board.

Cheers!!

So, I looked up Puros Huerfanos to check out the reviews....cause I was considering buying some from CM.....but I was too late on pulling the trigger...
anyways, can anyone confirm if these are Liga Privada seconds?

I'll offer a hint, since the Drew Estate people have given us a little leeway... But only a little..

Of the 3 PH blends, 143s were NOT made at Drew Estate's factory. You can figure out the rest. Yes.. I know that sounds cryptic. But it's all I'm at liberty to say. And maybe it's still too much.
