Tried the whole range a few times over and for me, these and the Petit Robusto are the standout Vitolas, depending on how much time you have. Flavour not as complex as some other cigars (Cuban or my beloved Plasencias) but a creamy, woody, leathery smoke, great construction, good burn etc. Considering the (UK) price, phenomenal! Unless I’m feeling flush, these are probably the only cigars I’ll buy in the UK from now on, trips to Amsterdam to replenish other brands at sensible prices.

I got the Inka Secret Blend Red Petit Corona a few times, it was consistently very nice !

Super smooth smoke, I enjoyed as recommended with a strong black coffee. Great combination. Im not one for smoking earlier in the day generally but this was a nice treat. Thanks.

Well I love the smaller cigar and flavored cigars so it was only a matter of time until I tried one of the BACKWOOD cigars. The first thing that hits you is the smell of the cigars which is strong but good and fresh. They are a scruffy cigar and not the neat smooth cigar most will smoke which is why they are quite endearing. I put mine in the Humidor for about two weeks and let them settle and I must admit - what a smoke. Firstly the smell of the cigar drops so it is not so in your face, the taste in the mouth is not that strong a cherry at all but a lovely mild flavor and very pleasant. Not a strong cigar at all and I have to say it smoked well, even and held the ash well. Those around me commented on the smell of the cigar being very enjoyable and it lasted about 45 mins. Sweet on the lips, good flavor, not strong and a good smoke....... what is not to enjoy. To be honest I did trim the ends when lighting as the rough loose end looked nice but I prefer a neat end to light a cigar with :-)

I must have.This is my go to cigar for sharing with first timers. It has the quality and depth of flavour of a montecristo no4, but a milder strength. Even burn to the end and balanced draw also. Nursing it with a glass of wine, I’ve managed to make it last 45min.

Before smoking this today, I was slightly sceptical because of the price. But wow, I am impressed. It smells sweet out the pack and does have a slightly sweet flavour from the beginning. The draw for me is perfect and i had no need to relight between puffs. It burnt evenly all the way down. All for £6. I’ve already ordered more.
