Puros Huerfanos Blend 143 Review
Famous-Smoke Description: Strength: Full Size: 6 x 38 Lancero Wrapper: Nicaraguan Natural Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan Puros Huerfanos 143 cigars, shrouded in secrecy, are akin to a well-known brand hailed throughout the industry as one of the most flavorful blends ever. Rich and full-bodied, grab a seat and let these long 'n strong ligas take you for an unforgettable ride at a fraction of their original price. Review: Construction: *Almost seemless and very smooth wrapper with subtle veins *Very dark and some what dry appearance Pre-Light: *Sweet and spicy smell at the foot *Medium to tight draw but seems ok to smoke *Sweet flavor and peppery on the lips 1st 1/3: *Tons of spice through the nose and on front of the tounge *I noticed a pleasant sweet finish after spice subsides *Aside from the spicey front and sweet finish there isn't too much complexity *This cigar is very light on the pallet through the first third and I would say it's medium bodied thus far *The burn has been nearly flawless and it's provided a loose salt and pepper colored ash 2nd 1/3 *Through this portion of the cigar, the pepper and spice seemed to take the back seat to the sweetness which was a nice change *As I got further into the 2nd 1/3 I noticed the spice was almost non- existant and the cigar started to become a bit one dimensional (bland with a sweet finish or after-taste) *The burn and ash have remained consistant with lots of smoke through a medium draw which stayed fairly cool Final 1/3: *WOW! A spice sandwich. Spicey(1st 1/3) - Bland(2nd 1/3) - Spicey(final) *I also noticed this cigar picked up some steam and gained some shoulders as a medium to full bodied smoke *In addition to the rebirth of spice I picked up some wood/cedar tones to make this portion of the cigar much more complex than the first 2/3 *No complaints about contruction for this stick *To the nub this smoke continued to offer a very sweet finish that reminded me of an RP Sungrown or La Riqueza maybe Final Thoughts: The Puros Huerfanos Blend 143 Lancero gets a C grade in my book as an average cigar. I smoked the Robusto size and found it to have much more depth which is shocking to me as the lanceros have usually proven the opposite. However, I do find this to be an affordable anytime of day cigar. This is also the 1st in this size I have smoked and I look forward to another try. Thanks for your time! ![]()

Nice Review!!
The differences between the sizes you smoked are no surprise. Mainly because they are two completely different blends. I highlighted the differences on another thread... Quote:

So, I looked up Puros Huerfanos to check out the reviews....cause I was considering buying some from CM.....but I was too late on pulling the trigger...
anyways, can anyone confirm if these are Liga Privada seconds? |

Of the 3 PH blends, 143s were NOT made at Drew Estate's factory. You can figure out the rest. Yes.. I know that sounds cryptic. But it's all I'm at liberty to say. And maybe it's still too much. |
