Another hit from the Inka Red selection. Great construction, look & smell. I cut rather than punched & it lit & drew nicely. Initial tastes of sandalwood & leather, nice mellow flavours - not at all overpowering. I thought it was quite a pleasant cigar, not a patch on the robusto do not quite a 5* rating but hey it’s a good smoke for the price & certainly better than some more expensive caronas. I got 5 so I’ll enjoy the next 4.

Have smoked 6 of these. The first one was great so I ordered 5 more. Unfortunately these did not live up to expectations. It was like the blend had been changed. Having said that these are probably still the best Chicos out there......... they are just not to my taste anymore. Especially as Ive now tried the blue series are they are excellent. If you like to experiment I would certainly encourage you to try one because the flavour profile may suit you. Rating - 3.4 stars.

I found the construction of the cigar to be very good. The wrapper had the smell of cedar and cheese. After lighting up it didnt take long to see why these are a best seller. The cigar has Cuban like qualities while retaining its own Peruvian character. The aroma and flavours are superb. Make no mistake this cigar is capable of embarrassing some Cuban cigars. All in all I can highly recommend this cigar. I dont think there is a better cigar out there under £7. Buy one...you wont regret it. 4.7 stars.

Smokes well. The wrapper was a bit flaky, I had to lick it down at the bottom end and it came undone a little bit most of the way down but it wasnt a problem. Taste is ok - like a cheap cuban I guess, it reminded me of the guantanamera - you get a lot of the sharpness and not much else. Nice with a sweet beverage. For the price its worth a try, I was pleasantly surprised how big it was considering its a petit corona. Its bigger than the inka red petit corona.

Cant really add much more than what has been written. Good construction, wrapper very smooth and not cracked and was able to hold ash for over an inch. Slightly sweet flavour and I would call it medium, its not too strong but very pleasant and can be appreciated by novices and experienced smokers alike. Dont get me wrong, this isnt in the same league as some of its Cuban counterparts but for the price it represents excellent value and something that can be appreciated daily and good to have a few in the humidor for guests. Interestingly I had an issue with one of these, contacted the company and they sent a replacement out the same day no questions asked. Absolutely superb customer service. Trust me and sti k a few in your humidor, you wont regret it.

Without doubt the worst cigar IÂ’ve had from CGarsLtd. I bought four & the two IÂ’ve had were as dry as a (insert your own analogy). I punched one & the shoulder came apart. It burned down like a rolled up bit of paper & by the time IÂ’d finished it looked like it hit it with a hammer. The second, I cut & the shoulder started flaking. In between spitting out wrapping, it burned quickly. Not smooth, not creamy & tbh not really any better than a cheap castella classic or a Panama. Nasty after taste. Thumbs down.
