Inca Secret Blend Roca

Inca Secret Blend Roca

Inca Secret Blend Roca 1600 900 Michel Arlia

The Inca brand was first introduced in 2012 by the English cigar retailer and managing director of C. Gars Ltd Mitchell Orchant. He wanted to offer a more affordable alternative to his mainly Cuban smoking customers.

The cigars are made at the Tabacalera del Oriente in Peru and are made entirely of Peruvian tobacco.

Inca Secret Blend Roca

The cigar is dressed in a Colorado wrapper that appears slightly rustic but is smooth to the touch. Filling is uniform with a bit of give when squeezed.

  • Size: 50 x 127 mm (5″)
  • Wrapper: Peru

Inca Secret Blend Roca

Inca Secret Blend Roca: the cold draw reveals faint notes of herbs and hay. Once lit, it opens with pronounced notes of walnut, wood, and vegetal notes.

Inca Secret Blend Roca

The first third continues with walnut and wood upfront, with herbal and spices in the retrohale. Strength falls a little short of being medium (2.5/5).

A roasted coffee note appears in the second third, next to the wood and herbal flavors. The spices, mainly white pepper, are still present in the retrohale. Strength becomes medium (3/5).

The flavor profile remains the same, but a bitter note that increases throughout the third covers most of the profile. Strength remains medium-bodied.

Overall, the Inca Secret Blend Roca is a decent smoke, at least for the first two-thirds. Considering the price point, you could look over the somewhat generic flavor profile, but the bitterness that comes in in the last third and covers most of the flavors makes for an unsatisfying end of the smoke.
