Inka Secret Blend Blue Petit Corona Cigar - Bundle of 25

This was my first cigar ever, and having researched for well over a week, I decided on this cigar. Having researched for a nice, mild cigar, I have only just discovered that this was infact full bodied! Upon recieving the cigar, as a complete beginner I went about sniffing the cigar like a basset hound, to my pleasure, it smelled mildy pleasant and I felt it was going to be a good smoke. Upon researching how to cut, light and survive the cigar, I went about smoking. The C.Gars cutter I purchased was a messy job, but the job was done and the cap was off to an appropriate degree. The first puff of my first cigar is a moment I will seldom forget, I was instantly knocked back and whilst slightly concerned, I soldiered on through the cigar, Kinder Bueno on hand. About 1/3rd through the cigar, I developed a nasty case of cigar sickness, however this cigar was the sort to punch you in the face whilst nursing it better. Despite being full bodied, it treated me well, burning very consistently until about halfway, which I blame on my lighting technique. The smoke was not insane by my standard, having smoked a lot of hookah, but did give off quite a nice blue tinge, which I found enjoyable. The ash held well for about 3/4 of an inch at a time, leaving me fretting over when the bloody thing was to finally fall off, which ruined my suit trousers, again, my fault. Overall, this was a very pleasant experience as I sat out on the trampoline, looking up at the UK skyline at 6:30pm and is certainly one I will revisit once I develop a tolerance, so I can truly enjoy what I'm sure is a very good cigar for what it's worth. Overall, personally a 6/10 due to my lack of tolerace (again, silly me) however realistically I'm sure this is an 8/10, though I would not reccomend it for a beginner.

Lit one of these this afternoon in the sun. Construction was good, it lit and burned well with a good volume of smoke. Draw was a tiny bit firm to begin with but soon eased up. Flavour-wise this cigar didn't do much for me. It wasn't smooth, it wasn't bitter, it wasn't hot, it wasn't cool, it just wasn't really anything. I know that at £5.49 this is a "budget" cigar, but I would much sooner smoke an Independencia 1898 for half the money. I am looking forward to trying more from the Inka range though, next up is a Rojo Cristale.

These are seriously good. I've tried the similar sized red one but found that too spicy, this is milder in spiciness but still plenty of flavour and more too my liking. I was only 10 mins into the 1 sample I bought to try them when I added 10 to my shopping cart. These are definitely going to be a staple in my humidor. The band however is hard to take off, I've had to tear them off, but of you still want to keep smoking at the point you get near the band that's a plus in my book.

Well, having read the reviews above I decided to give these a try they are described as a low budget good everyday smoke in reality. The first I found was so harsh I discarded it half way through. The next day I tried another hoping the days before was a one off but unfortunately not. These are just not to my liking being harsh and not an enjoyable smoke and leaving a horrible taste that lasts all day. I found after smoking almost half way through they made me feel ill and not like any other cigar I've smoked. I can't see why the gents above find these an enjoyable smoke I'm either a totally different type of smoker or I'm missing something! These are not for me. Reply from C.Gars

Hi David, we’ve had a lot of 5* reviews on these now and are really enjoying smoking them ourselves so we are really sorry the blend wasn’t to your tastes. That’s part of the cigar smoking experience though, there are so many different cigars to choose and as they say “variety is the spice of life”. I hope you manage to find something you really enjoy in our huge range, happy smoking.

I've had a few of these cigars now and what a pleasure they are Lovely even burn right down to within 3/4" nearly burning my finger I enjoy them so much. A mild cigar and well worth the money loads of smoke and lovely flavours will be adding more to my humidor 5/5 for me.
