Brian,
I received a five pack of the ’99s from cbid a little over a week ago, and it looks like someone had a storage problem with these. A lot of cracking, shriveling, and discoloration that would seem to indicate that they were dried out and rehydrated. Tried one of the better looking ones today, and it had hardly any flavor until the final third. Very atypical of Reyes products I’ve had in the past, although it did burn just fine.

You have to keep in mind that these are the ’99 edition, as noted on the band. I liked those, but have found the version(s) for sale in more recent years (’01?) just aren’t nearly as good.

I gotta agree with Darren above. These did not do it for me. I’ve got some left sitting in my humidor in case I get desperate, but there are other cheap cigars I would take over the Puros Indios. Seems like I remember Puros Indios being pretty good during the days of the cigar boom? Do others also find that this brand has gone down a peg or two?

I dunno fellas, I have had a bunch of these in the humi for over a year now and they still aren’t impressing me. At a buck a piece its hard to be too critical but I would still only give these a decent yard gar rating. If you are looking for a great cheap smoke then I would highly suggest the Gran Habano Vintage 2002. They are much better constructed and pack a whole lot more flavor. Those are being sold for 2 bucks a stick which is really a steal.

These are on sale for $20/box of 20 at CigarsInternational. Glad to see the review as I didn’t know what to expect. Went ahead and bought 20.

I just picked up a pack of 20 Toro’s on Cbid for 28 bucks. If these are half the smoke you say they are I am going to have to really stalk up on them……..A WOW cigar for 1.40 a piece!!
