Lovely medium flavoured cigar, one of the best smokes you can buy for the money, only downside is they can be tight on the draw, I'd say one in three are. But never the less these are one of my favourite non Cuban smokes.

Lovely smoke, smooth. It easily rivals the Cubans and I will be buying another.

been casting around for a cigar that would come close the Cubans I enjoy so much but can barely afford now, ordered these on the back of attempting the red band Inkas and being pretty impressed. These are even better, in my opinion the closest cigar yet to a real full strength Cuban cigar, I would even suggest than in a blind tasting they would come pretty close to my favourite Partagas..will be ordering these again- soon.

Really impressed, I have been smoking Cubans for 30 years and I do not know if I have become jaded or over fussy but cant help but think that quality/taste and all round smoking experience of Cuban cigars has diminished over the years. Being a bit financially straightened at the moment I asked Cgars to propose an alternative which is why I ended up buying a packet of the Inka Secret Blend - Azul Blue - Robusto Cigars. While maybe not being quite as full bodied as a Partagas or Bolivar they came pretty close to what I remembered those brands used to be like, a revelation, well bound cigars which smoked well without unravelling, no unpleasant bitterness half way down, good draw, no "fruity or chocolaty" flavours (who would want their cigars to taste of fruit and chocolate anyway?), just good old fashioned pleasant tobacco flavour. They may not offer the full Cuban experience but they come pretty damn close at a fraction of the cost.I will be repeat buying these.

As I am just finishing my 2nd of these delightful Robusto sized Inka Secret Blend Rojo Red I had to put this review up to go alongside many others in regards to the quality, flavour and price.
In all honesty I doubt that a Robusto can be put forward to challenge this cigar based on cost and most importantly, quality.
This Robusto is fantastic. The draw from the beginning to the end is lovely and you get around 2 inches of ash and when it falls you are presented with a tip surrounded by a light grey ash. The first third is very much in the middle taste wise, but you can start to get the flavour profile leading into the 2nd third and last third which are a delicious medium all the way to the end. The only caution is the wrapper leaf is a little fragile I have found.
These Robustos can stand shoulder to shoulder with many of the main producers including the Cuban benchmark.
For me, I will always have this cigar in my humidor.
Buy one and try for yourself!
