La Invicta Nicaraguan Robusto Cigar - 1 Single (Its a Boy Band)

On light up this one packed a spicy punch with notes of black pepper and earth. The smoke was very thick and creamy. 10 minutes in and the spice mellowed into a mild cedar. The 2nd third had hints of coffee and cream. The flavours were mild and the burn was fast but even. Toward the end of the 2nd third i was hit with chocolate notes, the flavours turned to a medium. Very nice! The final third needed a few touch ups as the burn became uneven. The flavours became washed out as it heated up. This is a great choice for a budget cigar.

I was against this cigar as i purchased it, possibly because of the shop and settings (low options, felt forced). Had very low expectations. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by this cigar. second half/final third especially was creamy, nutty, hints of spice. I have had flashbacks of its flavour. I would have recommended this as a daily go-to stick but I know think there are better options for similar price. Still, was much better than expected and actually a very nice cigar.

Decent smoke for the money. Light/medium flavour and burns evenly. This produced a lot of smoke and was a light and easy draw.

A pleasant cigar for the price point. A smooth wrapper no veins, perfectly bound. The smoke was a perfect draw with an even burn all the way through. Ash held well. Initially a smooth taste, light spice, pepper, cedar flavours and slight sweetness. No problems removing the band later in the smoke. Paired with a glass of Appleton rum. I will buy this cigar again.

Grabbed a pair of these at the local, first of the pair burned for 1 hour and 20 minutes, the second is on the go now with similar characteristics. Note well, that these were not in a humidor but merely in the cigarette rack at my local! Imperfect storage, certainly! There for a long while, assuredly - being that I live in the provinces. However, the quality is superb! Strongly considering a purchase for 25 of the same, cant recommend them strongly enough, and if there are ney-sayers, I say snobs, snobs, snobs! Grab a 25 wrap and tell me youd rather have spent twice that on tightly wound Cubans! And thats just their women! In recognition of the criticisms that I am sure are out there, yes they burn slightly uneven, and yes! you may need to keep the short burning side on top to even it up. Timely reminder! These are near half the price of cigars that promise by brand reputation to promise that even burn, and guess what! Often they dont! Look at the reviews, allot of dear people, spent a dear penny hoping for perfection and guess what, in ever factory, one cigar in 5 or so comes out just right, and the rest.... Well I stood watching the factory worker women in Cuba rolling and chain smoking the lot of them.... if you think these people are scientists! That uneven burn, its part of the charm, just like her uneven perm, just with this one it costs allot less! (P.S. Available to mystery shop and give reviews on request! Will be nagging the chap in St James on the next visit... when Covid buggers off)
