Inka Secret Blend Blue Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Wednesday 01 October, 2025 by Richard

The Inka Secret Blend Blue Robusto was an interesting smoke for me, especially as someone still at the early stages of getting to know different regions and blends. Being a Peruvian cigar, it stood out right away since most of my experiences so far have been Cuban or Nicaraguan. On the cold draw, there was a light earthiness and a hint of sweetness, almost like dried fruit. Once lit, the first third opened with smooth, mellow flavors—cedar, toast, and a touch of creaminess. It felt very approachable, which I appreciated. As it developed, I started picking up more herbal notes mixed with nuts, and a little black pepper spice crept in to give it some character. The smoke was medium-bodied overall, not too light but not overpowering either. The construction was decent: the draw was consistent, though the burn line wavered here and there, requiring a minor touch-up. Midway through, there was a slightly bitter edge that came and went, but when it mellowed, the cigar returned to a balance of wood, earth, and soft sweetness. It’s not the most complex cigar I’ve tried, but it offered enough shifts to keep me engaged. I’d call it a solid everyday option—affordable, flavorful enough, and a good way to experience Peruvian tobacco. Not a standout, but certainly enjoyable. Rating: 7/10

The first 3rd starts with smooth coffee and rich chocolate notes, evolving into hints of pepper and warming spice. The aroma stays vibrant. Pairs beautifully with coffee anda great way to start to the day. I'll be trying more blends from Inka for sure.

This one’s definitely a strong contender for a regular rotation! Right off the bat, the aroma is unique—aromatic with an unexpected hint of florals. For a full-bodied cigar, it’s surprisingly smooth with no harsh peppery bite. The first half delivers tangy, buttery notes that really wake up the palate. Moving into the second half, you get rich flavours of dark chocolate and a touch of charred chestnut—complex and deeply satisfying. As for construction, it’s a bit on the rough side. I learned it’s rolled with small binds, which explains the slightly inconsistent texture. That said, the burn has remained impressively even throughout.

My perfect everyday smoke. Full flavoured, sweet on the tongue, lovely aroma and even burn, just right.
