Inka Secret Blend Red Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Another that I got as part of a sampler pack. Although the read says strong in strength Id definitely put it in the medium category. Punched it rather than cut and it was a lovely smoke from start to finish. A cracking find at the lower end of a thin wallet.

Bought one of these around a year ago, been in the humidor and sort of forgot about it. Wow what a nice surprise, spicy, nutty and milk chocolate with a lovely peanut woody finish. If it had a Cuban band on it, and a large price I would I would have been fooled. A very nice cigar.

I braught as it showed great reviews 5 stars Proof never always follow the stars Almost cut in half as whole base 1.6inches of the cigar has just unwrapped no hold And I cut properly so Im very annoyed Most likly just an unlucky bad one Ive had to use some medical tape to hold where not unpeeled so I could cut and not waste £13 quid on a cigar Once fixed other half fab no denying But to fall apart! only 1 layer of leaf disappointed Due to unwrapping I will not gamble on a 2nd

These were a bit of a disappointment for me, especially after the glowing reviews I saw here. I had no notes of coffee nor cacao, and the wrapper started unwrapping on each one. For 10£ per stick its fine, and it is possible that I got a bad batch, but I would not recommend.

Came as part of a sampler and was not expecting to like this half as much as I did. For one thing, it is identified on here as sitting at the opposite end of the strength spectrum (full) than my usual pick (mild). Also, the wrapper was cracked and very veiny. Also, after cutting it, I took a cold draw, it was clearly very loosely rolled. However, that actually helped with keeping things quite cool and not too strong. (Held together pretty well too. Almost to the halfway mark.) Unfortunately, because I think of the disappointing quality of the wrapper, it burnt very unevenly and was not an attractive smoke - did I mention the one I received was slightly flattened? - but neither was it an unpleasant one. I was curious to try one of these - my first Inka Secret Blend and my first Peruvian cigar - but I am unlikely to try another for a while. (Too many others to try first.) Shall certainly bear it in mind for the future, though. For me it was s three star experience, though a lot better than expected and definitely worth the money, so adding one for that.
