La Invicta Nicaraguan Robusto Tubed Cigar - Pack of 3

Fairly new to cigar smoking, smoked the occasional cigar in the past and thought lets get in to this pleasurable pastime a bit more. Well here we go! Nice constructed cigar, lit well and burned well. Had to relight once, but that could be because I take my time smoking and I was just short of an hour. Initial taste great, very smooth and pleasant but I felt the taste started to leave a bit just over half way through the cigar. Even ash burn and held well, good 2cms before it needed to come off.

I don’t have a whole lot to say about this cigar. For the price, I think it’s good. Handmade, good construction, burned evenly with good draw. But the flavours weren’t spectacular. There was the usual nutty flavours along with a hint of caramel, but not a lot else. It reminded me of a big cigarette to be totally honest so, for that reason, I wouldn’t reorder.

A great smoke; easily matches some Cubans at twice the price. Get ready for a cloud of smoke, they burn well. Stronger than its Honduran cousin. Smooth, rich flavours. Should age well, if only I could save them.

Middle of the road smoke for me. The best thing about it is the construction. Lights easily, burns evenly and holds its ash well. A well made cigar at a reasonable price. It draws very easily (too easily for my liking) but it doesn't pack a massive punch in the flavour department. Its far from bland however it doesn't offer up too much in the way of variety- I found it to taste the same the whole way down the cigar. Its not a bad starting point for a new cigar smoker but there's nothing here to excite a regular. Overall it wasn't bad and when paired with a good coffee it did add to the experience of a chilly sea front fireworks display. Nothing to hate here but then again there's nothing to love about it either: a solid 6 out of 10 cigar. Chris

Great value for money, there isn't anything else to add really it's just a great bench mark cigar.
