Inka Secret Blend Red Cristales Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 16 April, 2017 by Samuel

After having a bad experience with another member of the Inka family I went in to this cigar with an open mind and am so glad I did, this is a fantastic cigar. After cutting the cap did start to unravel but on the plus side the construction was excellent and uniform, it felt like a high quality cigar and held its ash extremely well. The draw was a little looser than I'd normally like but it did not hinder the experience. The burn was good, it did start to tunnel on occasion but always returned to an even burn. Where the cigar really shines is the flavour profile, it consists of a silky smooth and prominent sweetness with tangy and toasty/roasty notes and a hint of nuts, these flavours combine to create an almost floral/citrus character in the background. The aftertaste is divine; subtle sweet, tangy and nutty characteristics linger on the palate for a long time. Words don't do the taste of this cigar justice. Unfortunately it started to rain heavily just as I was getting to the final third, I quickly clipped it and am confident that despite being previously smoked it will still be an excellent smoke. Even with the slightly loose draw and the cap unravelling slightly I cannot rate this cigar any lower than 5/5, you would be fooled in to thinking you paid double for this beauty and I intend to add this to my list of go-to's. I would recommend using a punch instead of a cutter for this however.

I didn't find it good on lighting it was a struggle not much draw on it I was looking forward to enjoy this cigar but was halfway before the draw got better the experience was sadly ruined didn't think much to the taste. I get better from Cubans but I like to try different blends of cigars so I would say about this cigar been there and done it thank you

Just finished one of these this evening. For the price I will say it was good, however others in this range are much more pleasing. The ash dropped about half way through, but the draw was not as easy as I'd expected. For the first half I felt like I was nursing this cigar rather than enjoying it. Not much smoke coming from the cigar and not much to taste. Once the ash dropped it became slightly easier to smoke, but I feel the first half set the tone for the experience. The cap ripped slightly while I clipped it, which also hindered the experience.

Wow, what a surprising cigar! Ordered this along with a couple of Cubans, but certainly enjoyed this one the most. Smooth, sweet and nutty for the most part, with a tiny hint of spice appearing into the final third. Great construction, no touch-ups required, loads of smoke and a steal at this price. Overall, probably the most relaxing 50 minutes I've had in a long, long time.

This is my first review and as I'm a beginner to cigar smoking i will aim this at other beginners.. I just finished smoking this after purchasing it when ordering another sample pack. This cigar was very smooth an nice and mild for a beginner and lasted me about 50minutes, if you are a beginner to cigar smoking I would say defiantly pick one of these up, you will be hard pressed to find a better stick for just under £7 (at time of writing) enjoy :)
