Inka Secret Blend Red Sampler - 3 Cigars

Having sat down in the garden and worked through this for 45 minutes last night I came to the conclusion that everybody who wonders why there is a premium for Cuban cigars should smoke one of these. Essentially it is a fine product and the only issue most people will have is cutting the end off (its 60 ring gauge!). Fortunately the cutter which was supplied with the order it (just) up to the task. Construction is excellent, holds its white ash very well and despite feeling well packed, has a good draw. The problem is that there is just no flavour to it whatsoever, smoked it down to the label and it sadly remained bland from start to finish. Shame really because in many ways this is a good cigar, just not one for me.

Having enjoyed the Tres Petit Corona I decided to give these a try and was somewhat disappointed. In comparison they are rather bland and "ordinary." Not a bad cigar by any means but I'll think twice about trying their larger vitolas.

just ok. Not unpleasant and the burn and construction were fine. Only flavour I got was sweet tobacco. I'm done with this brand now. Every time I see these great reviews I feel like maybe I should give the Inka range another try but the result is always the same. Plain and simple sweet tobacco, just like a big cigarette. Might be ok for an everyday smoke to keep costs down but since I only smoke once a week there is no point me getting any more. Im giving two stars as it wasn't horrible, it just wasn't good enough to revisit

I have to agree with Alistair. This is a lovely herf. Easy to draw, lovely flavour to the end. I have had more trouble drawing from a Montechristo and less flavour from an Upmann. I was not at all disappointed with this and will likely buy more.

From looking at its formidable 60 ring gauge and dense filler it would be fair to assume that this is an extremely intense cigar. However, once lit it may surprise you with its initially subtle flavours. There is a rich sweetness that gradually develops through the first two thirds, with occasion hints of fruitiness. Once into the final third the sweetness and the intensity get turned up to 11, with classic roasted coffee notes coming through. The construction is impeccable and the ash holds well throughout. I find these usually last about 40 mins for me, but I've known people to make them last well over an hour before! Highly recommended, particularly for the price! - Calum, Turmeaus Chester
