Omnipus Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 After hearing about the Brazilian government trying to stop Cohiba sales I thought I'd take a look at some domestic Brazilian cigars. Wondering if any of you have tried them? What are your thoughts? A friend brought me a little sampler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORITO_SAMA Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The first one is a Dannemann Artist Line, imo the best brazilian, much better than most NC I've smoked and on par with some cubans. It's a truly great cigar, but it's very expensive. The second one is a Dona Flor, a good cigar but nothing special, it's cheap. The green label I've never seen... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I haven't had enough brazilian puro. However for those that have, how would you compare the flavour characters as opposed to Nic and Dom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORITO_SAMA Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 In fact it really depend on the marca, for example dannemann it's darker in flavour, drier in mouth, could be compared to a really good Nicaraguan, in Cubans remind a little the Bolivar rc, then you have Alonso Menendez that is milder more to a Dominican, and you have Monte Pascal that is sweeter and I never had a sweeter cigar, some people say it's like smoking a mango leaf ?

However for those that have, how would you compare the flavour characters as opposed to Nic and Dom? Brazilian tobacco is distinct. Mata Fina, Mata Norte, Mata Sul, Arapiraca, Sumatra (grown in Brazil), and Mata Sao Goncalo. Mata Fina is the most widely used, and I'm a big fan. Gives you a stewed fig, or stewed raisin flavor and chewiness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In-A-Gadda-Davidoff Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I haven't seen a Puros Indios for a few years. They were somewhat popular in the late 90s/early 2000s. I never cared for them. They did make an 18" cigar called "The Chief". If memory serves, I think Puros Indios was a Honduran tobacco blend and not Brazilian. But..my memory of those is going back 20 years or thereabouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnipus Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Interesting comments! I tried the dannemann first. Extremely good construction and burn. I agree with your comments Orito about the experience (drier in mouth). I found the flavors to be a bit one dimensional, but had a strong kick.

That's my overwhelming memory from Indios too, I think they are still knocking about if anyone fancies a baseball bat to smoke! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
