-503.png "Montecristo Especial No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single")
Date Added: Tuesday 09 June, 2015
Enjoyed on a Sunday afternoon after a BBQ.
Slow burning, smooth cigar. Plenty of flavour, very well constructed, and easy to light & draw.
After tastes of wood, leather, and subtle hints of coffee / cocoa.
Would definately buy again as a "staple" smoke.

Last summer these were a regular in my monthly orders after I had been searching for a slightly cheaper alternative to my Monte 2/Diplo.2/P2 obsession which was slowly bankrupting me. For whatever reason which I can no longer recall I stopped including them in my orders. Last month for whatever reason I reminded myself I hadn't had one for a long while and I should order one to try and recall why I ever stopped.
The cigar looks every bit a premium cigar from the very decorative band to the excellent construction and shine on the wrapper, it looks great! You'd be forgiven for thinking this would be a tight draw from the look and feel of the cigar but its anything but, intact its a very loose draw while the flavours are sweet initially the draw actually left me feeling like no cigar ever has, This cigar will last 60-75 minutes and by the end I'd felt like I'd just smoked 20 cigarettes in quick succession (and I haven't done that in many years, I don't smoke cigarettes anymore).Its the only cigar where the hit from the smoke overpowers the flavour. Though there was something that jus

This was my first Inka cigar which I decided upon after searching out some "value" cigars for my humidor to bulk up some orders and try something new. Given the price It's fair to say I wasn't overly optimistic, my usual smokes for some time had been Monte 2's, P2's etc.
When the cigar arrived I was straight away surprised by its appearance and construction, the quality appeared excellent. The smoke itself was even better, for such a large ring gauge it burnt perfectly, bags and bags of smoke, smooth flavour and an effortless draw. STUNNING!
My only gripe would be very occasionally I've found the adhesive from the band can be a little sticky on the wrapper so while its caused no problems I have had to take care once or twice, Not sure if anyone else has had this to be honest its a minor issue with these but I did have a similar issue with the Robusto and that caused me some real problems.

Having first tried the Bombaso Azul Blue in the Inka range (which is fantastic) I decided to venture a bit further into the range and my next stop was the Robusto.
On first glance I did notice the construction didn't seem to be to the same standard as the Bombaso but it wasn't of any great concern. The cigar had an even burn and smooth draw but the flavour was harsh. About a third of the way into the cigar though I encountered some construction problems which was compounded when I attempted remove the band, the adhesive seemed to have reached the wrapper and tore the cigar further on removal. (I have had a similar but non fatal issues with the band on the Bombaso's)
I only bought the one to bulk up an order and to give it a try so I have probably just been unlucky but It will be a while before I try another.

Hi There,
Please let me say from the get go that I'm relatively new to smoking Cigars.. I have been dabbling for the past 4-5 years smoking budget stogies.
The beginning of this cigar give's me the same sweet taste as the old La Invicta Maduro's last half.. Very sweet and pleasant .
What I like most is that is it keeps burning when you put it down, I hate Cigars that go out, when you have to keep re-lighting and struggle for an easy drag?? You may know that same thing?
I love this Cigar, To the new and most probabley, UN-TRAINED smoker.. This is by far my most favourite
I rate this (Personally above Cohiba Siglo's and Montecristos,, a better smoke

Chinchalero Chicos Cigar - 1 Single
by Kevin
I was hopeful of a fair smoke for a low price. I found it a bit harsh to start with and although it improved a bit the burn was a little one sided and the draw a bit tight.
Not really bad but having tried the La Rica tubitos and Quorum petit corona and churchill it failed to impress at this end of the price range.
Maybe some more time alongside other cigars in the humidor will help.
