The Indian Tabac Super Fuerte is a box-pressed, aged cigar made of leaves from Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Honduras. I'm not sure what size the cigar I reviewed was. It had a torpedo shape with squared sides from being box-pressed.  The Unlit Indian Tabac Super Fuerte
The Super Fuerte lit easily and gave off an earthy aroma from the start. The flavor and aroma were consistently earthy. There was a mild, even peppery note throughout the cigar that picked up slightly near the end. The age of the cigar was evident in its flavor as well. These are aged 4 years from the factory, and mine had been sitting in a humidor since 2004, so it was at least 5-6 years old. The Even Burn of the IT Super Fuerte
The ash was firm, papery, and medium gray in color.
The smoke was a pale gray color and of moderate thickness.
The burn was even right down to the end. As you can see below, I smoked it right up to the point where my fingers had enough of the heat. (The bottle cap is there to give some scale.) Can't burn 'em much farther down than this!
An enjoyable cigar all around, but I wouldn't call it spectacular. It gets a solid 6 out of 10 rating from me.
