Reserva Maxima Media Maduro

The Puros Indios Cigar Factory, run by Rolando Reyes, Sr., is located in Danli, Honduras. The man has more than 65 years under his belt as a cigar maker—he knows his stuff, which is why we know his cigars. He's recognized as one of the hardest working fellows in the business, and considering his age, he puts many of us to shame with his continued work output (it's been rumored that he inspects literally every cigar rolled each day!) The Reserva Maxima by Puros Indios is a very special line, created in 2002 to celebrate Don Rolando Reyes and his 65 years in the business. There are tobaccos from four nations in this celebratory cigar: the filler combines leaves from Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, bound to the sultry sun-grown Ecuadorian wrapper by an Ecuadorian binder. Look for notes of understated toffee and espresso, rounded out by a strong display of cedary-sweet floral aromatics in the finish (you can even smell this in the pre-burn aroma—just sniff the stick before you light it). So sought after that a special security code to prevent counterfeiters is included in every box (see below for details on ordering a box of this or any of our other featured cigars). Holds up to a domestic Barleywine style ale, and is nicely complemented by the floral elements of a top shelf gin.
