Inca Secret Blend Roca Cigar - 1 Single

1. Appearance & construction. This cigar looked decent. Nice dark brown wrapper that had a nice sheen to it. Smooth to touch, and cigar had decent weight to it. Label looked really regal. No visible imperfections. 15/15. 2. Flavor and Aroma. Before lighting the cigar there was a nice earthy leathery smell. Everything went down hill after that. Draw was tight, so no amount of puffing could get any taste or flavor out of the cigar until the final 3rd. Final 3rd was nice though hints of spice, earth and leather. 5/25. 3. Smoking characteristics. The only thing that was easy with this cigar is the cutting. Major disappointment after that. Even struggled lighting it. Draw was so tight that there wasnt any flavor at all until the final 3rd. Ash was dark greyish and stayed on the cigar till the end. 5/25. 4. Overall experience. I have to say that I was extremely disappointed with this cigar. Struggled to light it. Draw was non existent, not even a seasoned porn star could suck on this. Alarm bells started ringing when I got towards the label and tried to take it off. It was difficult, more then it shouldve been. Makes me wonder what condition it mustve been for it to get like that. Miraculously the wrapper wasnt damaged after I got the label off. Not enjoyable. The reason I smoke cigars is to unwind, slow down and relax, this cigar was just stressful. The only saving grace is when it got to the final 3rd and actually started to smoke like a normal cigar but the damaged had already been done. Absolute shame as this is the 2nd Inka cigar I tried and the first blew me away, and this brought me back down with a thunderous crash. Not sure if Ill have to courage to try another Inka now. 5/35. Total points : 30.

Iv just been smoking this stick and to be fair its actually been very enjoyable good construction burned beautifully held its ash very well tasted of earthy flavours with a touch of salt to start with then I could taste a touch of leather with hints of spice in the final third all in all just a great stick at a great price one I will be buying again I just think next time it will need more time in my humidor just to bring out more flavour which I know it holds , I got a good hour out of it

A slightly stronger and age version of Inka red keeping the smooth, complex and rich characters of the wonderful Peruvian soil. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador
