La Invicta Honduran Maduro Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Friday 08 June, 2018 by Chris

Im currently smoking this cigar whilst drinking a Godfather (equal parts Johnny Walker Red and Disorano) which is quite a sweet cocktail.

I have always regarded La Invicta as a par for the course type cigar; meaning that whilst I enjoy them theyre never going to amaze you but that being said theyll never let you down either. I mostly smoke the Nicaraguan version of their robusto but this is the first time Ive had their Honduran range and any of their Maduros.

Straight out of the cello you can see it is well constructed and the wrapper had few flaws and a slightly toothy feel with minimal veins. The pre light was earthy and drew well with the promise of plenty of smoke. This was confirmed upon lighting and the cigar burned evenly with a nice white grey ash that held on quite well.

Like most of the Invictas I have smoked it wasnt hugely complex but did have a nice earthy flavour that finishes with a hint of pepper on the retro. As is expected of a decent cigar the flavours did intensify the longer it burned yet it wasnt unpleasant. As you approach the home stretch it does become quite tarry so be sure to give it a good purge before going back for more.

Overall its not at all bad. Plumes of smoke on every draw, holds ash well and burns perfectly. There is enough about it to enjoy all the way through without being anything special. A good day to day smoke and for 7 quid you really cannot grumble. I bought it with in a Maduro inspired order along side a Quorum Nicaraguan and a Jiuliany Dominican. As the first out the box its done well and done nothing to change my opinion of La Invicta as a brand. Simple, unpretentious and inexpensive. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

A solid 7 out of 10 cigar.
