La Invicta Honduran Maduro Cigar - 1 Single
by Benedetto
Pretty damn good for the price!
Not a particularly complex maduro, but I find them very satisfying.
Lighter than a Camacho or a Secreto, lots of smoke, great draw. Always have a nice even burn.
The only issue is the cap is sometimes very delicate, so that when you cut it, the wrapper starts to unravel. Three of the four I bought last time did this. I used a guillotine cutter and a punch with the same result.
That wee bottle of repair glue I bought from CGars is very handy. A little patience and glue and it's all good again.
Despite this issue, they still get five stars. I can't walk past Robert Graham's in Glasgow without going in for some.

I like a cigar that gives me a kick arse ride , and these do the job perfectly , I've been smoking these for 3 years , and never get bored with them , they are well made with a decent even burn that drops ash at around 2" , they're also good if you let one go out and relight , the maduro wrapper and extra mature tobacco within compliment each other with a wild spicy taste , produceing loads of smoke one takes about 50 mins to smoke , but I'm allways putting mine down while I'm in the workshop , they're full of strong flavour and not for the beginner , but I'd recommend to try any way , an ace smoke.

Rich and spicy. Nice even burn, lit easily and did not go out. Plenty of flavour and nice easy draw. Went down well with a coffee and scotch. Has made me realise that it doesn't have to always be cuban to be a nice smoke. Will be buying some more for sure. Fantastic value - Andy Roberts

I bought five of these for a quick smoke at a wedding as I was under strict orders (!) not to smoke my regular cigars (1.5 hours + smoke time) so I thought these robustos would be ideal.
I wasn't prepared for how quick these actually would be...10 minutes of trying to smoke them before giving up. On the day, I took two for myself and one for my son. My cigar was extremely loose, it was like sucking on fresh air. My son's had a void along the centre of the filler, like a thin pen had been inserted prior to rolling and then removed. I was gutted. I tried my second several hours later, again this was an extremely loose cigar, puffing away with not much action.
I tried my fourth today and got success! It was a very nice smoke and burned very well. Quite a mild/medium cigar with a reasonable amount of smoke.
I have one left so I will see what happens with that one. I want to give these 4 stars but I cannot justify that with having only one good cigar out of four, to me that is just not acceptable.I have no problems with the service from C.Gars, but I don't think these do their

An absolutely cracking little cigar. Really well constructed. Burns slow and beautiful. And excellent medium-strong flavour. Fantastic value for money. As good as it gets at this sort of price.

This was a great cigar! It burned evenly and gave great, tasty smoke. I iked this one so much, i let it burn as short as possible before i let it go, which was very easy as it was as cool on the fingers and the draw at one inch as it was at 4 1/2. The only reason that i haven't given this five stars is due to the bad construction at the head. Every other draw resulted in me pulling a small piece of loose tobacco out of my mouth. Overall though, it's a great cigar and has certainly drawn my attention to the brand.
