Inka Secret Blend Rojo Red TP/Azul Blue PC

[Andy 84]

For a cheap cigar (under ?5) I knew I shouldn't expect too much from this little stick, but for a cigar that is promoted as full Bodied, and medium to full strength, I was completely and utterly underwhelmed with it. It was very mild indeed.

The construction looked fine and after lighting the burn remained fairly even all the way down.

The first third tasted of very mild tobacco and little else.

The second third was slightly more interesting with a very subtle sweet fruitiness alongside the mild tobacco flavour, but nothing to get excited about.

I finally gave up with it at this point (after about 40 minutes) as the tar and some harshness had started to take over. All in all it was a fairly disappointing experience for something I was expecting to be much stronger and full bodied. I won't be buying this again. I'd give it 3/10 and only because it burnt well and stayed lit.

The Inkas that I've tried have tasted of nothing but tobacco, you may as well smoke a cigarette.

The worst possible condemnation for a cigar!

Well the not so great news then is I also have an Azul Blue petit corona in my humidor!

Place it next to the beads to soak up any excess moisture and protect the decent cigars!

Had a blue robusto the other day and after smoking the cristales, which I like I have to say I was disgusted it was like smoking a Marlboro that had been lying around for a couple of months utter crap .

Thanks to the forum you should at least gain the encouragement to smoke better cigars. We all burn and learn

you have to experience the lows to appreciate the highs, and thanks to this forum we get to experience the latter more frequently

Yeah, they can't all be brilliant. Still cigarette like is not something that any cigar should be described as. Very disappointing.

it has been said before but always worth repeating smoke less smoke better
if you can only afford ?5.00 a week for a cigar smoke every two or three weeks smoking a cigar should be a relaxing and enjoyable time not a habit

Well said.

Ultimately, this is how America can support all these shite Gurkha, Inkas, etc. Damn cigar cigarette culture. They keep the binge smoking up with all their cheapsies. Not buying them is the first step to getting them to up the quality.

Inka = rubbish cigar. You're a brave man for smoking it all. I lasted about 1cm before binning it!

Just ask Mitch how often he smokes these, even though they're 'his own' special blend... Just a thought. (The man has too much sense and taste to swap his Bolis and Parties for these...)

PS. Totally agree with Pete - fewer but better quality is my motto too.
