Inka Secret Blend Red Cristales Cigar - 1 Single
by Lawrence
This is my first review and as I'm a beginner to cigar smoking i will aim this at other beginners.. I just finished smoking this after purchasing it when ordering another sample pack. This cigar was very smooth an nice and mild for a beginner and lasted me about 50minutes, if you are a beginner to cigar smoking I would say defiantly pick one of these up, you will be hard pressed to find a better stick for just under £7 (at time of writing) enjoy :)

Bought two of these recently. The first was very good indeed. Not quite as flavoursome as my favourite Partagas and Bolivar equivalents but enjoyable all the same. However the second was absolutely awful. The construction, burn and draw were terrible. I had to keep relighting to stop it from tunnelling, the draw was very tight and there was hardly any smoke or flavour whatsoever. I recently had the misfortune of sampling a Cuaba Divino, which are made at the same factory, with similar results. Unfortunately 1 from 3 is not a good ratio at all. I think I'll be steering clear of this brand in the future.

Boy does this little Partagas pack a punch, my mum brought me this back from Dusseldorf and I was blown away with the spice and peppery flavours. The burn was slow and even with a solid ash however the draw was much to tight. Probably because of the conditions it was kept in on it's journey back to the UK, as I have yet to have purchased a humidor I have to settle with an air tight bag. Apart from the draw been much too tigh this was a nice cigar.

Bought a pack of these a while back and been slowly getting through them.
Great draw, fairly light smoke and smells great.
Magnificent vanilla taste to begin with, and, so long as you don't hurry through it, it will stay sweet right to the end, so nursing them is recommended!
If you want to hurry through and smoke one in around 15-20 mins, they get very bitter halfway through.

After a lot of thought I've decided to upgrade my review from two to three stars. Whilst the Inka Maduro doesn't do much to shout about, it doesn't do anything wrong either. Cigars in the same price range seem to be plagued by burn problems and duds with bad tasting smoke. The inkas seem to be pretty consistent and do have a pleasant taste. And whilst it's nothing to write home about, they don't leave you disappointed and frustrated.

Regius Petit Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Thomas
This cigar left me feeling puzzled and disappointed. After reading the favourable reviews here I was quite optimistic. Not sure what went wrong but the cigar tasted pretty much like a big cigarette. Lasted around 50 minutes. The draw was near perfect but with a normal draw I would get hardly any smoke... Had to draw quite hard to get decent smoke and it just tasted of smoke. Maybe I got a bad one but I won't be ordering again to find out. Reminded me a lot of the Quorum brand but didn't taste as strong. Not exactly a compliment.
