Has anybody given these a try yet? They look to be not much more than the Puros Indios pyramid that has been aging for 4 years...are they worth the extra $$$ or is this just an overpriced version of the original Puros Indios.

Let me clarify - they are not priced higher, but I still wonder if they are worth it...

I've tried a couple (not these particular gars, bur PI in general), I'm not a big fan of the line. Others may love them though.

I've smoked several of the torpedo size - liked them so much, came back and bought 12 at bid. They are VERY tasty, although on the mild side. I like them a lot - take that from a guy who usually smokes only full bodied sticks. As for the price, you'll have to decide - I bought them as an inexpensize, big, "fishing cigar," and was pleasantly surprised at the taste and construction of this stick.

I bought a box of the PI Maduros and have smoked a couple of them. They are not a "go to" cigar for me. Number one, slightly too mild for my particular taste, and, number two, they have a subtle flavor I don't really care for. Hard to describe.......not "green" exactly, but to use a rural Southern term, they have a "whang" to them. Been in my igloodor for about 10 months now, so I'm going to give them another try and see if they're more in line with my individual taste.

Well, I sure hope they don't taste like "whang" because that stirs up some pretty disgusting thoughts...

I have had the original "green label" Puros Indios (I am indifferent on them - they are ok in book) and I was more wondering if the "special aged" is the same blend as those and they are nothing more than a cigar that has been sitting around in a corner for 5 years and someone gets the idea to sell them as a "special" cigar. If that is the case I still have 6 or 7 Puros Indios #4 I bought a box of back in 1999 that would be considered "special aged" ...I guess I am just a little confused of what they really are.

Speaking of the PI Maxima Reserva...

Get Hoagie55 on here! I wanna know if he smoked the PI Maxima Reserva I sent him as a bonus 'gar in our trade! I hope he appreciated it, because after that bad incident with one of my local cigar sellers, I might never see the Maxima Reserva again :-(
