I found the IT Super Fuerte maduro to be disappointing, especially compared to the natural wrapped robusto size. The natural actually has richer, fuller flavor than the maduro!

Also, the draw on the maduro is a bit tight and the flavor is one-dimensional, with not much of a finish. The maduro is an OK cigar for smoking with friends or during some other activity. But if you want a lush, saisfying experience, go for the Indian Tabac Super Fuerte robusto. It beats the maduro version.

I’ve smoked several of the robustos and you can see the various reviews at http://99cigars.blogspot.com/search/label/Indian%20Tabac%20Super%20Fuerte

Got a sweet deal on these on a daily special from CI. It was an impulse buy at less that two bucks a stick after shipping and PA tax. I have to say I am a huge Rocky Patel fan. I am enjoying my “quest” to search out his lesser expensive offerings to fit my budget. I am half way through this mini belicoso bundle and I have just “learned” to enjoy this cigar. I rushed the first few sticks which produced only bland bitterness. Last night I slowed down and searched for some complexity and found it! If you don’t rush this cigar, you will be pleased.

Extra Fuerte is definitely a bit of a misnomer with cigars like the Joya de Nicaragua Antano on the market. Overall an enjoyable cigar and very fairly priced in my opinion.

yeah, i just smoked one of these a couple days ago as well. it was quite nice, i did enjoy it, although i would say it was not the most complex smoke, not a whole lot of depth of flavours, but whatever flavours there were enjoyable. i too kept waiting for the super fuerte to kick in…but alas it never did. i’d say it was about medium body and strength imo.

Brian,

I find your review right on for this cigar. This is a standard for me and always keep a few on hand. I find that CI almost always has some kind of special going on the Indian Tabac line so the price is generally reasonable. A good smoke to add to your rotation if you like the classic maduro flavors.
And no, it is not really “fuerte”. More like medium body to my taste.
I also agree that with you that the RP Vintage line is kind of hit or miss. I have found that the construction and flavor does not live up to the prices I’ve seen advertised for these sticks. Of course that is just my opinion.

Not a whole lot of flavors as it wasn’t a real complex cigar, but the rich cocoa and roasted coffee-like flavors typical of a good maduro were present and enjoyable.

Hey Brian, what flavors did you pick up from this cigar, I have smoked 2 of these, and both times they were between at least 2 others, and stupidly I basically wasted them as my palate was fried by that point, so picking up any specific flavors was null and void for the most part.
