I've been smoking the red label for quite some time and when I saw these bundled at 10 for £75 I thought it was time to try the blues.
First impressions was very scruffy and hurriedly assembled. The wrapper was obviously not off the top of the good pile, lots of veins, dinks and lifting edges and the cap really was an afterthought. This really had the look of a Friday afternoon special and not what I'd expect from Inca.
HOWEVER! the stick smoked great. Really nice draw, not too loose. Burnt well, only a couple of wanders off paste that were easily corrected by simple rotation. Ash solid to past an inch.only thing for me was I had to give it a couple of pulls to get the volume of smoke I like.
Flavours - absolutely nothing harsh or offensive here. Tasting notes pretty much spot on but again, for me, a very blended taste profile rather than any stand out flavour, this stayed pretty much constant through the stick with it ramping up in the last third.
For me, a cigar from a favored maker that promised more. Badly let down by its shabby presentation that is not the norm for

OUCH! I wasn't expecting that!
If I'd blind tasted this I would of never guessed it was a Juliany Cigar or Dominican. This hit hard from the first draw to the last inch. Spice aplenty, definitely pepper but more cayenne than black or white. Sides, top and tip of tongue well alight, lips and palette also out in support. Retro hale was aborted instantly with tears in my eyes!
This all may sound like a negative review but it's not. I have every confidence that there are smokers out there that will love this stick and it's robust flavours, it was just a little too much for me.if you enjoy a spice bomb that smokes well at an affordable price may be worth a stab.
The cigar looked well, beautiful color wrapper but a little scruffy and some big veins but held together well. Burn had a very slight wobble but never needed correction and the draw was very light and airy.
I have been smoking Juliany coronas, both the red and Maduro for some time now and are one of my go to favorites but this blend is a different beast!

An undeniably good blend which delivers in character but just doesn't quite have the depth I was hoping for. Think a lighter spicy version of the gorgeous haunted bookshop. Definitely a nice smoke, burns to a lovely white ash, and perfect for a relaxing night smoke, just not quite what I was hoping for. I'll enjoy the rest of the sample and no doubt will begin to lean more favourably towards it. It's popular for a good reason and well worth a go.

There's definitely a caramel topping to taste here but the sweetness tastes too artificial for my liking. It is an easy pack, easy burn, but you're one slightly energetic sip away from tongue bite every step of the way. Sadly this is not for me. There are better caramel blends out there, but clearly I'm just not a fan of aromatics no matter how much I try.

This was my first mystery cigar and honestly it wasn't that bad. It is certainly a peppery little stick but, is overall quite pleasent.
The burn was near quite even and the ash held for abount an inch and a half. Honestly I am not normally a fan of peppery cigars but I have to say this one surprised me because it was also quite a smooth smoke. The room note Is also quite pleasent with a little hint of leather although admittedly I didn't notice that until the second half. My only minor gripe was a little gum residue left behind after removing the band. Overall though I would recommend it.

I’m not sure why this cigar gets such mixed reviews, personal preference I guess, but I found it to be a lovely little cigar to smoke, perfect draw and very rich in flavour, and unlike a lot of thinner cigars this stayed cool start to finish.
