A great cigar for the price and reminiscent of Cuban Partagás (not the depth or creaminess of a good Partagás) - rich, earthy and woody with a lot of pepper and a sweet leathery undertone. There was a tiny amount of development in flavour, getting darker into the second half and I found smoking it slowly with a little whisky was best. I did find the pepper to be rather overpowering, and there was a slight acrid bitterness throughout which mainly picked up in the second half. Some slight hints of peanut developed and a little green vegetal note built up. The finish wasnt great, a little bitter but otherwise pleasant. I found mine to be very much full strength.
I am very curious as to how well these might age over a few years as some of the rough edges should ease off at the very least. Construction was excellent with a beautiful straight burn - tightly packed but with a perfect (easy but not too open) draw producing thick mouthfuls of smoke.

I usually smoke Cuban cigars, but as Im now semi-retired I have had to review my budget. I was in Chester recently for a day out and lunch with the lads The youngest is 65! I called in to the Alf Turmeus shop and had a look at the New World cigars and settled on a couple of Incas. One being the Tambo. A couple of days later I smoked the Tambo and really enjoyed it. Plenty of smoke, plenty of flavour and I tried a little experiment with it. I dont usually smoke down to about 3/4 of an inch but I did this time to try it out. Consistently good all the way. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I will keep buying these cigars and save myself some money in the bargain.

Found this to be an average cigar (compared to the 4 Ive already tried) - good for the price though. Thought the draw was a touch too tight and there wasnt enough smoke for my tastes. But the taste was pleasant and it lasted a decent amount of time - half an hour or so.

I bought this after seeing listed on the Director recommends page. Gauge was bigger than expected. Lovely burn throughout. Easy draw. Starts off quite bitter, but then mellows as you get through it. Nice subtle peppery flavour.
