La Invicta Honduran 58 Cigar - 1 Single
by Philip
Very light draw, some loose packing in middle. Pleasant wrapper aroma, strong ash flavour, slight sting on the tongue and hard palate. Mellows in the middle, with a strong nicotine hit. Loose filling makes burn tricky. Flavours dont develop, some sweetness and quality of tobacco, and somehow, an enjoyable smoke. But not one for an occasion.

As a novice cigar smoker I decided to pick up one of these as well as 6 other cigars with various prices this being by far the cheapest one.
So first of the construction of the cigar was pretty good, nice light colour no nasty veins lumps or bumps. Ever so slightly lacking on the filler.
First light was easy. The cigar let of a lovely oaky smell which reminded me of the dad smoking cigars when I was young and brought back fond memories. Nice draw and burnt very evenly for such a cheap cigar.
Taste throughout was consistent with no crazy flavours or complexity. A very mild Oaky, coffee taste with a very pleasent room note. The cigar however was hard to keep alight with not much in the smoke department leading to me having to relight it after the First 1/3.
Overall not a bad cigar experience which I hope to improve on with my next cigar. Which I'm very much looking forward to.

As a relative new comer to cigars I purchased one of these with a sampler package of cubans, and so far this little beauty has been the best, will certainly be ordering some more

Not a bad little stick at all
Lit well .. burned pretty evenly after the first third however was never an issue from word go.
Nice smooth creamy first third .. peppery vanilla second and floral third .. overall a lovely stick and for the price punches well above its weight.

What can I say about this cigar?
On receiving this cigar in the post; I was most intrigued about what this would be like to smoke due to it's unusual appearance. I was looking forward to lighting one up out of the twist.
Lighting:
After a gentle toasting and with a little lick of flame the initial burn was spot on. Nice and easy with a lovely draw. I had a feeling that this was going to be quite an enjoyable herf.
tasting notes:
After the first few puffs; I was met with a slight hint of ceder with just a dash of coca. The aroma was very nice indeed. Quite earthy.
As I progressed with the cigar; the spice increased but at the same time there was a very fresh and pleasing taste...Like going outside after the rain and getting that fresh sensation on the nose. The smoke was quite creamy, cool and pleasant; I almost forgot I was smoking a Partagas. Throughout the rest of the cigar; there was a lovely hint of ceder with a warming but gentle spice. Very moreish.
I cannot for the life of me compare it to another cigar I've smoked and I really enjoyed it from the first p

I'm a cigar smoker and just started smoking a pipe probably more for quickness of a nic hit , so I bought this connoisseurs choice it's a nice smoke but it's a bit to mild for me ! Nice for an early morning smoke but if your looking for a night time after dinner smoke probably to mild will try something stronger in the Peterson range next time
