Backwoods Purple Cigars - Pack of 5
by Chloe
These cigars are great fun with a friend or a nice coffee. They smell very strong in the packet but is slightly tamer and more manageable when smoking. These are cowboy style cigars with a messy foot so the initial lighting and the first few puffs can be a bit iffy if you dont trim them down a little bit, but theyre a very nice 10 to 15 minute smoke, and for the price, you cant go wrong. The wrappers arent perfect, but I didnt have any serious issues with unravelling or splitting like I have with some other cheaper multi-pack cigars. The foil pack has kept them fresh and humid, but I will still add them to a drawer in my humidor just to see what these are like in a couple of weeks or months.

This cigar came as part of a trio in a Luis Marinez Ailver Selection sampler that I purchased. A brilliant cigar with excellent flavour, smooth draw, and an even burn at an amazing price. I will definitively be purchasing more of these for my humidor in the future.

These are superb quick smoke cigars. No harsh aftertaste. Smooth to the end.

Started off well, lovely looking stick and great smell. Started burning one sided during the second third and the draw became unbearably tight. Only way to make it smokable was to use a punch as well as all ready cutting it.
A little disappointed

Inka Secret Blend Red Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Nicholas
Came as part of a sampler and was not expecting to like this half as much as I did. For one thing, it is identified on here as sitting at the opposite end of the strength spectrum (full) than my usual pick (mild). Also, the wrapper was cracked and very veiny. Also, after cutting it, I took a cold draw, it was clearly very loosely rolled. However, that actually helped with keeping things quite cool and not too strong. (Held together pretty well too. Almost to the halfway mark.)
Unfortunately, because I think of the disappointing quality of the wrapper, it burnt very unevenly and was not an attractive smoke - did I mention the one I received was slightly flattened? - but neither was it an unpleasant one.
I was curious to try one of these - my first Inka Secret Blend and my first Peruvian cigar - but I am unlikely to try another for a while. (Too many others to try first.) Shall certainly bear it in mind for the future, though.
For me it was s three star experience, though a lot better than expected and definitely worth the money, so adding one for that.

I would give this 5 stars had the smoke not been uneven. As other reviews have stated it is defo more of a strong smoke than a medium but its incredibly enjoyable at this price point. I wont hesitate in buying more.
