I liked it!
A solid bind with a firm draw; vanilla and coffee with a slightly peppery ending. A smooth 45mins smoke with good ash retention

This is an excellent cigar for the price. I wasnt expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Very satisfying and you will want to smoke this right until the end. I will definitely buy a bundle to put in the humidor

Inka Secret Blend Red Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Nicholas
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.

After having smoked two of the “red” (long filler) version of this cigar in the last year or two, I promised myself I’d try the blue (short filler) version to see if the difference was discernible, given the slight price difference. I can honestly say the difference is massive! OK, I’m only basing it on one cigar, but nothing about it was as good as the red version. It burned poorly and unevenly, to the point I had to try in vain multiple times to even it out, or even just keep it going at all. The difference in flavour was surprising, and perhaps down to the amount of tampering I was having to do with it. I was basically just smoking something that was on fire. Don’t let this put you off the whole brand… just pick the right cigar from them and don’t skimp the extra couple of quid; it just isn’t worth it. The red bombasso and half corona are brilliant value for money and I’ll be sticking to them.

Decent, not bad but not great, bang on in the middle, the flavour is nice however the construction of the cigar is pretty much low quality, for me the gauge is crazy but I guess that’s what this cigar is suppose to be hence the name “bombasso”. I find it lasts around 60min. It burns nicely however because the draw is so tight the burn becomes uneven towards the end. I don’t recommend this to a new cigar smoker, , but overall it’s decent, considering it’s price you cannot expect a top quality cigar
