Inka Secret Blend Red Chicos Cigar - 1 Single

Great cigar for beginners & an awesome stepping stones into the world of cigars if your new. Clean & subtle branding that pairs great with the blend it represents. Due to the quality & cost ratio , the pack of 10 is a great addition & like I said from a cost perspective they are brilliant. The first & second thirds are not to overwhelming on the palate , and we're a great introduction for me into starting to taste notes. Pairs perfectly with coffee & makes for a great morning smoke & lunch time. however the blends nice enough to be enjoyed throughout the whole day , but it's a great companion for me in the morning. The last third holds a good strength too. A good 30/50 minute smoke depending how you smoke. That , Is key in my opinion. I recommend taking the blend slowly... don't rush , burn steady at a lower temperature & draw a little less frequent than you normally would (if your a quick smoker) maybe once a minute. But even then I personally don't draw that frequently sometimes , I take it slowly and burn slower , and I find the blend speaks better that way , it's much sweeter in the first & second thirds , and abit less harsh in the last due to the lack of consistency in drawing. But that's my preference. I just enjoy the wrapper scent & the aroma that blend produces , its such a pleasant smoke to be around in my opinion & one Im glad I found early on. I personally bought two boxes after initially trying the blend , and for me it's that first third & the wrapper... That's my favourite smell I've came across with everything I've tried ; to date. Great sweetness there , and for me that's a personal favourite - everyday use. Draws abit tight , however I'd just suggest lightly rolling the cigar in your hand , attempt to just loosen the leaves inside slightly , and for me that's typically always worked well , but use a needle if necessary though I've never needed too. Highly recommend , especially to the beginner looking for something cost effective. And to the veteran looking for something different , that others likely haven't heard of or tried. Just take the blend slow & don't rush the experience, you'll thank me later.

Very tight draw had to recut with a v cutter to get anything out of it. Maybe would need a needle poked through to release the draw and some more flavour profile. Wasn’t a great smoke but was part of a sampler. If do get it again somewhere will try a different method to see if can get it to smoke better.

Not great. A very tight draw, I had to suck so hard I feel like I'm owed money. And the flavour wasn't good enough to make up for it - it wasn't bad, but also nothing noteworthy. Save your money and buy another short.

Rather disappointed, new to smoking cigars again after 60 years and with a very small budget trying a selection under a tenner,the inca didn't have much taste burnt well but not as good as the Edward even the mini Edwards were better. So not on my list.

Bought the first pack and found it a very good cigar maybe a 40 min smoke.enjoyed them so much I ordered more but for some reason on the seconed batch the outer wraper was very loose and came away. I think this was because I had used a different cigar cutter. Tempted to order more and go back to my old old cutter and see if that was the problem I would hate to think I would lose a good smoke because it was my fault.Anyway I'll give them another go because I realy think they are good value, I will post my review when I try them.
