Inka Secret Blend Red Petit Corona Cigar - 1 Single

£4.99 non-Cuban. If someone handed me this and uttered those words I wouldn't be expecting much but boy would I be wrong. In terms of construction I had no complaints with this little beauty; her draw was easy without being loose, her construction solid and burn even. Taking a 'dry' draw you get sweet, honey-like flavours which are also present when lighting up. I'd describe the initial flavour as being like a sweet-cure virginia pipe tobacco, which in my books is a good thing. This sweetness is joined with a light cedar, and as you progress the woodiness begins to dominate but without even killing the sweetness. Also, its worth noting that when I say 'woodiness' it never goes as deep as say a Bolivar. In fact to compare it against any Cuban I've had it would be closest to a RyJ Cedros, though not as spicy. It seemed to compliment the Ardmore I was drinking quite nicely but I think it would be equally matched to a good rum - possibly from Martinique. Finish was long - so much so that I could still taste it the following afternoon. This cigar represents real bang for your buck and I'll certainly be ording some more. For now though I've a few others to try from the range.
