Ilsted Own Mix No.99 Pipe Tobacco 100g Tin by simon

This is a really nice smooth smoke. Used it in lots of different pipes (Briar, Poker ,Churchwarden and others) and smokes really well. Open the tin and it smells good too. Not been pipe smoking for long but this is my favourite smoke our of twenty plus that I have tried.

Inka Secret Blend Red Tres Petit Corona - 1 Single by David

Sweet? Sort of. Spicy? Plenty of it. Full bodied? Not a chance. This felt a very flat smoke, harsh but with nothing to show for it. It needed touching up quite a few times due to two thick veins on the wrapper. A tight draw without much smoke. I finished it to give it a chance but just wasn't much fun. A definite pass.

Inka Secret Blend Red Half Corona Cigar - Pack of 4 by Jon

Really not sure on these - I read the reviews and had high hopes. I may have a duff batch but not sure. Almost zero flavour in the ones I have. They taste of almost nothing but a very slight and somewhat unpleasant aftertaste. Best way to describe it would be a bottle of red wine that's corked, sat for years and just gone off. Don't have any effect on me whatsoever so not sure they are at the stronger end of the scale. They are however built well and smoked fine.

Inka Secret Blend Blue Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Mark

I tried for the Inkas over this week, ok but I probably wouldn't revisit. They both smoked well for me, good draw, easy to smoke and hel the ash for nearly the entire cigar. I struggle to describe these sort of cigars, just a sort of 'cigar' taste to me, with very subtle additional tasting notes. Very slightly bitter toward the end. Blue slighly better than the red, a slightly more 'rounder' flavour.

Independencia 1898 Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single by David

Very very mild with a slight nutty element. If you just want to smoke a cigar without really tasting anything then this is fine. Had a couple of construction issues with peeling and one instance of an uneven burn that required correction. It's inoffensive but for the money, you'd be far better trying to find some good flavour elsewhere.
