Inka Secret Blend Red Sampler - 3 Cigars

Lovely little 40min smoke, lit up in garden witha bottle of prosecco, light to medium bodies, nice smooth taste, spicier at last 1/4…great draw and burn, got in this months subscription and tbh I preferred this to the Montecristo no4 I had yesterday (ended up dir hing that 1/2 way through as started tasting nasty!!!

I smoked this the day after a blue version which I really enjoyed. It is an industrial strength smoke: strong, dry and tart. My eyes were watering at one point. The construction is better, it holds together and doesnt fall apart into a tatty bundle for the final third which the blue one did. A classy smoke, no doubt, but not for the faint hearted. I much preferred the blue version.

This was sent to me in place of the Blue Bombaso I had ordered (presumably sold out), and Im very grateful to Cgars for sending this slightly more expensive stick in its place. However, as much as I hate being negative, these reviews are here to help and inform - I was disappointed (the following are subjective views and I could well have had a dud). The construction seemed to be very tight and, when lit and throughout smoking, it had a horribly tight draw with very little reward. The cap is extremely shallow and suspect, so I punched it rather than cutting. Very little smoke output and a curious metallic taste throughout, particularly on the retro-hale (which was the only way of garnering any noticeable taste). Lasted around 50 minutes and to be honest I was glad when it was over. I will probably avoid in the future.

Perfect cigar for wedings, decent sizes and medium strength sweet smoke. Perfect to introduce your guests to the cigar world. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador

I bought this as part of a 3 size sampler because I really liked the tres petit corona. I go for the small sizes first and get the bigger ones if I like it. It started off really well, quite chocolatey as expected, but started to get a bit bitter around half way. The last 3rd was unpleasant and I noticed a severe build up of tar at the cut end. I guess this is what was making it so bitter. Left a nasty after taste. Really disappointed. I hope the other two (robusto and bombaso) make up for it.
