Flavor profile
Earthy · Spice · Roast
The INCH No. 62 is the short-and-fat option in the line, a stubby 5 x 62 gordo. It packs the INCH blend into a wide, quick-to-light format that delivers a lot of smoke in under an hour.
What it tastes like
The blend is the line standard: an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder, with Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers including Piloto Cubano, Corojo, and Criollo '98. Despite the oversized ring gauge, INCH is no mild giant. Expect an earthy core with black pepper, cedar, coffee, and leather, and a cool, generous draw thanks to all that filler. The body holds in the medium-full range, and the shorter length means the flavors arrive quickly and stay concentrated.
Who it's for
A good match for experienced smokers who want a big-ring, full-flavored cigar but do not have time for a long toro. Our cigar strength guide explains where medium-full lands if you are working up to it.
Prefer a longer smoke, or a maduro wrapper? Try the INCH No. 60 or the INCH Maduro No. 64. Log and rate it in the Casa DNC app.
