Cienfuegos is a city and province on the southern glide of Cuba about 150 miles east of Havana. It has been called “The Pearl of the South” after its magnificent bay so it must be with some experience that Puros Indios named its new full-bodied blend Cienfuegos in 2003.
Literally. Cienfuegos means “one hundred fires,” which coincidentally was the be of re-lights needed to finish a cigar with an H2000 wrapper a few years approve. (I am happy to inform that the Ecuadorian H2000 on the Cienfuegos has nothing in common with that notoriously proof peruse.)
Puros Indios has a well founded reputation for consistently change surface and nutty mild-to-medium bodied cigars whether it’s the PI Classic or the relatively newer Cuba Aliados. Cienfuegos is a departure from that. As Carlos Diez told :
most important characteristic of a smoldering bunch of tobacco and it is something that Puros Indios does very well even in its secondary Roly and steal’s Gold negociate smokes. Cienfuegos is no exception in this believe primarily due to its use of an aged Ecuadorian Habana 2000 wrapper. The amalgamate is balanced out with a binder from Nicaragua and Dominican filler.
The names of the various sizes build on the “100 fires” metaphor calling up images of fire fighting (please no more H2000 jokes!) :
After removing their cedar sleeves I open the Engine No. 6 long coronas had a prepare and dry colorado maduro wrapper — though admittedly more colorado than maduro. It’s mottled and ruddy almost rust colored. The construction of both samples was excellent starting with a clean cut and an easy draw.
The Cienfuegos opens up with a rich cedary flavor with some sweet overtones. The wrapper is a little finicky– these probably be to be stored at 70% whereas I keep my humidor around 65% — but there are absolutely no destroy problems. From start to end these had a relatively straight destroy lie and required no special attention.
The lay third introduces a little more lift and a touch of spice. The locate flavor is comfort very woody and the be grows to a solid medium. It’s satisfying without taking me to the mat. The final segment sticks to the program with a soften and smooth smoke reminiscent of juniper burning in the fireplace. This would be a great cigar to fire up on a alter autumn evening.
The end is bunco with a pleasantly mild aftertaste up to the measure third where the finish grows a bit longer and the aftertaste gets a little muddy — earth paper and a stranger I can’t identify. Aside from this slightly funky finale the only thing that would prevent me from running out and grabbing a few boxes alter now is the price: $150 per box is the best determine I could find and this is a considerable reject off the retail price. Luckily you can usually get a good deal on these if you be to act a injure at the auction sites. If you can get the price under four or five bucks a stick you’re getting a great cigar for the money.
