Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro

I've only smoked one Super Fuerte, it was a couple years ago and if memory serves was the maduro corona. One of the things that sticks clearly is that I too had burn issues. You may feel differently, but to me if a cigar is really good I can overlook a few burn problems, know what I mean?

Someone sent me one of these in a trade recently. I'm looking forward to getting to it soon. Thanks for the review.

Oh definitely. Like I said, it was a little annoying, but nothing serious enough to take away from a great smoking experience.

Now if the cigar is borderline crappy to begin with and has burn issues, then I say "f*ck this thing", and go get a good cigar. Life's too short for bad cigars.

I've smoked quite a few of these over the past few years. in my experience, some have draw issues some don't (probably why you can always find them around 2$). You're right - the flavor is very good for this price. These age pretty well too, had some since '08 and they seem to be less harsh - still keeping flavor though!

I'm a fan of these ever since Jdorais sent me one with a mystery stick game. It was unlabeled, so I smoked it blind. I really enjoyed it and it has become a staple in my humi ever since. I think I guessed that it was an El Legendario by Camacho. So, it's definitely a strong full-bodied smoke.

I smoke the IT SF Maduro regularly and there are a few things you need to know about these. First, the Belicoso is by far the best shape for draw and flavor. These sticks have an oily wrapper and fair very well when dry boxed a couple of days. Dry boxing also seems to improve the draw issues with the Toro. When aged a little and dried some, these can be fantastic sticks for cheap.

Agreed. I smoked my first one that I got from a trade and I got burn issues in the second half of the stick. I should have seen the red flag when I squeezed the cigar and it felt extremely squishy. Dryboxing will definitely help with the burn. Despite the burn issues, I thought everything else about the stick was great, so I have also ordered 10 sticks from last week's DD.

I like them but they are a little too oily for me. I need to drybox and retry. I want to try the Super Fuerte Natural and see how that compares. Same filler, no oily wrapper. I don't like the oily palate thing. On the flipside, my Father in Law loves these sticks and loves that oily taste. This is one of his go-to sticks

+1, that is exactly what I was going to say. I have some that I come back to on a regular occasion. But for sure dry box it. I tend to throw them in my leather carrier for a few hours...it really makes them a nice stick.

I really enjoyed this today...nothing to great or bad....first third was a tad of spice but just a tad, then it had a excellent draw...plenty of smoke....second third was rich, and I could taste the maduro wrap perfectly...and third 3rd was super powerful but tasty, rich, and delicious,...i would buy another one, butnot on my top 5 list....but tasty nonetheless!

Gotta chime in here. Vinnnie actually turned me onto these, and now they are a staple, I always keep a box on hand.

More believers in the IT SF Maduro. I always keep some of these in my box just for work and knocking around the garage/yard.

I've got two I received in a trade. I was thinking about trying one out this weekend, and am trying to decide if I should drybox it, or just leave it out, and for how long.

Which one do you have? I find the Toro's need that drying time but the Belicoso's not so much.

Oh, I don't even know. I'll have to look.
