Puros Indios

N2 GOLD · 06-17-2011, 11:30 AM

Can anyone here tell me how old this is or when they stop using this style of band?

MajorCaptSilly · 06-17-2011, 11:58 AM

I could be wrong but that looks like the original band from the 90's and these were actually selling for 12 bucks a stick.

WOW, really???

I need to clean out the humidors more often. So this at one point was a double digit stogie???

Found four of them at the bottom of a Arturo Fuente Flor Fina box. Not really sure how they got there or how long they have been sitting there...

thebiglebowski · 06-19-2011, 10:02 AM

yeah, that looks like original band to me as well.

Nice find. Be sure to post reviews on the ones you smoke.

I think that was right after the Reyes Family talked Rolando out of naming his new line "El Gaggeraero".

gotta love when you find cigars in your collection you didn't know you had.

I dont know if I would call that a "hidden gem" Some might call them land mines.

Yeah that one goes back to the 90s, only band I ever knew for that cigar. In late 2007, most of the materials
for the cigars changed over. I had 6 BIG OLE giant Piramides from PI a long time ago, but long since got rid of
all that stuff. It'd be interested to taste one of those billy clubs today, lol. Smoke em up, should be decent.

dwoodward · 06-20-2011, 12:28 PM

Time to smoke em I think.

RevSmoke · 06-20-2011, 12:38 PM

I used to love these, back in the day - '90s. I remember getting a couple boxes for fairly cheap when they were double digit $$$ per stick. They were a very good cigar. I know people don't like them today, but I haven't had one since then, so couldn't tell you anything about the current incarnation of that brand is like.

N2 GOLD · 06-20-2011, 01:02 PM

Thank you all for the help/info. I have never had a bad Puros Indios cigar & I've been smoking them since the 90's. Personally, I think they are a real nice smoke. Not a $20 stick but a nice $2-$5 everyday smoke.

When I light up one of those "First Series" that were in deep hibernation I will attempt my first review for you guys.
