Not good but shouldnÂ’t have expected much given the price, cap comes cut poorly which needed re doing, cigar tended to burn unevenly and to top it off it was hard work to get any flavour out of this cigar, wonÂ’t be coming back to these

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.

Tasted fine but not especially good. The main problem was that it was so densly packed i got a really poor smoke, had to drag excessively to even get it to burn. Tried both with a cohiba cigar cutter and Cohiba press and used a jet burner for both. Had to repeatedly deal with it canoeing and just gave up after half way.
Sad times :(

This aromatic offers smoothness, sweetness and spice without the often bitter and hot effects associated with an aromatic tobacco. The sweet vanilla, cherry and chocolates remain present throughout the entire bowl. A lingering hint of honey remains after. And of course, a gorgeous room note. I enjoyed this through a MM Corncob without a filter. It burns very easily and is simple to handle. Sip slow and gentle to ensure a cool smoke and to the preserved flavour.

For the price these are unbeatable, loads of smoke and decent flavours however it didnÂ’t burn evenly at all sometimes one side would be 10mm further down than the other and had to keep touching it up, otherwise this cigar wouldÂ’ve earned 5 stars

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.
