La Invicta Nicaraguan Robusto Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Christopher
May have been an unlucky cigar but this cigar was one of the worst I have had, it was lightly packed, had a draw with zero resistance (I understand people may like that but not so much for me) slight unravveling near the cap had to relight twice and as mentioned with the light pack the filler seemed to split down the middle and have only half the cigar burning, the rich flavours did redeem it but the other features made it unsmokable and after trying my best to hang on I gave up halfway, I am really hoping that I had a bad cigar as the price is reasonable and the flavours were good as the construction held but it quickly went downhill for me and until I hear enough otherwise I won't be purchasing anymore.

I've searched high and low for a flavour profile on this cigar (or even some other reviews) and not really found much.
First third seemed nondescript I had a hard time pulling out any real flavours but at around the start of the second third a definite milk chocolate flavour started to come through which stayed with my through the rest of the cigar.
Once that milk chocolate hit I really enjoyed it, going to try some of their other vitola's and see what they're like.

I don't smoke Vegas Robainas that often, but I really enjoyed this one. The flavours are very pronounced, with leather and spice dominating throughout. There are also occasional floral and chocolate notes that appear in the second third and remain in a subtle, pleasant way on the finish. Definitely worth a try! -Calum, Turmeaus Chester

Pre pre-deployment weekend. Left the family to stay in a b&b before going back to base. All about me, nothing else.
Been saving this bad boy in my humidor for a while(can't remember how long) And after a very nice three course dinner I decided to pick this Habana up.
As always I've brought my own ashtray, and I've found a nice quiet part outside. And I'm now ready.
Never been much for the pre-light procedure as such, as long as I got my ashtray I'm happy. So cut and light it was, and after that, pure magic!!!
The light it self so smooth, the draw was absolutely fantastic and flavours everything you'd expect from a top draw Habana. Could ramble on about chocolate etc. But instead I'm gonna say, well balanced, surprising and absolutely amazing!

In my early teens, a couple of friends and I would sneak into an off-licence and buy some cheap cigars - Hamlet, Henri Winterman's Cafe Creme, you know the sort. At the time we thought we were the bee's knees.
Well, this cigar has brought back those heady days. And not in a good way.
Construction is excellent. The burn is razor-sharp all the way. I didn't need to touch up with my lighter once.
But the flavour? Bland, not exactly harsh, but hardly smooth. Dull. Uninteresting. Never again.
My overwhelming impression? I'm sorry to say this, but it just tasted "cheap".
I bought some H Upmann half-coronas at the same time I bought these. They were only marginally more expensive, but were a world away in terms of flavour, quality and - most important of all - enjoyment.
Sometimes a misspent youth is worth revisiting. Not this time.

A pleasant tropical fruit aroma with hints of hickory nuts. Easy to light and burns even and quite cool, advisable to be smoked slowly. Overall a nice aromatic blend to be enjoyed peacefully - typical for a rainy day scenario. Michael - C.Gars Ltd
