Crafted for the true cigar connoisseur, Indian Tabac Super Fuerte cigars are aged to perfection and offer a rich, complex-tasting, box-pressed edition with a nutty flavor and extraordinary balance.
The Indian Tabac Super Fuerte line from Rocky Patel is a beauty. From first sight right down to the finger-burning nub, this cigar will captivate you. Handmade in Honduras, this gem employs an awesome blend of long-leaf tobaccos from Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras to generate voluminous clouds of thick white smoke and a creamy, rich flavor with hints of chocolate. To tame this robust blend, a luscious wrapper is applied – either a dark, Nicaraguan Maduro or a flavorful Cuban-seed Corojo – just before aging each cigar for a minimum of 4 years. This patient aging process leads to a mature, round character that’s buttery smooth and ultimately satisfying.
Indian Tabac Super Fuerte received a well-deserved ’92’ point score from Cigar Aficionado, which added:
“A dark, well-built cigar that draws well. The flavors are rich, round and elegant. The smoke is nutty and spicy, with a medium- to full-bodied character.”

Comments: Really enjoyed this cigar. It’s a huge stick with big, fat ring size of 58. The maduro wrapper is not to overpowering. If you enjoy high quality medium to full-bodied cigars at low prices, don’t pass on these. Would definitely smoke again – great tasting cigar. |
