Just received my latest c-bid shipment and tried two cigars that I hadn't tried before: the newly revised Signature by Perdomo and Fire by Indian Tabac.

The Signature was, IMHO, stunningly good. Although a little harsh at first light (I'm sure some age will help this out), it settled into a smooth, mild to medium smoke with tons of creamy flavor. Reminiscent of a Gurkha. The burn was great with a nice fine-grained white ash. Very different from other Perdomo offerings, but definitely an outstanding new blend. Although I tend to favor medium and full-bodied cigars, I enjoy the occasional milder smoke. This one is so flavorful, it is sure to be one of my milder go-to selections.

Fire was not quite what I expected: it's name suggests something powerful, full-bodied, and rather explosive. Instead it is medium-bodied, distinctly sweet (different in this respect from other IT lines) and very peppery. Lots of flavor and enjoyable for something a bit different. Reminded me a little of a Dark Shark, but more restrained and refined. The burn was not so good, but I've often had this problem with IT cigars that haven't rested for a while. Worth a try.

Agree with you on the sig, just received some Fires this week will have to give one a try.

The Fire is one of my favorite go to smokes. I have enough of them in stock to say that. 😉

I've only had one Fire and have to say that it was a really good smoke. Since I can ever "taste" all the mysterious flavors of a cigar (peppers, chocolates, mangos, pencil lead), I can only tell you how it burned, drew, etc.

That was supposed to read:
