Inka Secret Blend Red Bombaso Maduro Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Monday 16 March, 2020 by Alex

I am fairly new to cigars and I had previously focused on Nicaraguan boutique styled cigars and budget ones as well. I like strong flavours so this attracted me due to the maduro wrapper and size (you will have to forgive me, I am still learning all of the phrases). So this cigar when I first tried it was different, very earthy with some chocolate notes. This was maintained all of the way through but no complex flavours that jumped out. I did notice some issues around the cap, where it started to come a part as I went through. The second one was much better, this could be due to the fact that every hand made cigar might be a little different or that my palette is developing. The second one had nice spicy complex flavour throughout mixed with delicate chocolate notes it was much more enjoyable and the burn rate was around an hour. Again though there were issue with the cap coming a part. I used a punch cut the second time thinking my cutting technique with a straight cut might have been a little off but the same thing happened with a punch.

I will be ordering again and probably a box next time. They are good a smoke and nice flavours, developed by a well established company and exclusive to Cgars. I do like that aspect, different is good. BUT the cap degrading is a bit of an issue and might put people off as they are £9 a cigar. That is going into the more established brand cigar price range (for me). It was frustrating to suffer with the cap problem at my level.

I would recommend though - 5 stars for flavour and uniqueness
4 stars for the cap quality
