I've had a couple of these now, out of a box I picked up from CI. It's a 4.5 x 50 short, somewhat stocky cigar. Based on my experience with the some of the other Indian Tabac Maduros I assumed that this would be a fairly quick smoke with a loose draw, but this one was surprisingly dense and long lasting, with a very pleasing draw.
The construction of this cigar is well done. It's made of aged "mutt" tobacco (some Nicraguan, some Costa Rican, some Honduran) with a Nicaraguan binder. As it burned, the burn line stayed crisp and even, and the ash was tight and white. The wrapper is a dark maduro, with some veining. There's not much in the way of aroma, which surprised me, as this is a pretty strong cigar. Perhaps the spring pollen is affecting my senses?
The smoke itself was very enjoyable, to me. I didn't get much in the way of complexity, even with the blended tobacco. It's a strong little cigar, with a warm, powerful taste, but definitely not overwhelming.
I believe these are available exclusively at CI, and at a very nice price (less than $2 a smoke).
