Puck Toro

Repeat offenders, that's what we call Rocky Patel and Nestor Plasencia, owners of The Indian Tabac Cigar Company. I.T. has appeared in our club repeatedly as they continually impress us with their ever-evolving cigar lines. They have received repeated praise from the folks at Cigar Aficionado, SMOKE magazine, and elsewhere. Indian Tabac is one of the hottest and genuinely fine cigar brands to emerge on the cigar scene in the past 10 years. Just a matter of months ago they reintroduced the Puck, breathing life back into a long-dormant Cuban classic. Mellow Dominican and plenty of rich Honduran leaves comprise the long-filler blend waiting for you inside this Toro. The construction is flawless, wrapped in a flavorful sun-grown, medium-tone, natural shade leaf. We found this cigar to be admirably palatable, with a medium body. Note the toasty, earthy flavors that constantly shift dominance during the course of this smoke (that's the varying strength of the Dominican and Honduran leaves playing off one another). Some panel members reported notes of toasted, buttered popcorn. Puck has an ash that just will not let go, holding on like a champ! A hop-heavy India Pale Ale would be great with this cigar.
