Joya de Nicaragua Cabinetta Serie No. 13
A smooth and slightly oily wrapper has unmistakable appearance and a sweet hay-like pre-light aroma. A smooth draw provided big thick clouds of creamy smoke. The aroma had rich, toasted tobacco mild earthy flavors and a honey-like sweetness. There was a mild spice in the nose, which was very tolerable when retro haling the smoke. Mild-medium strength with a medium body overall. A very pleasant, full flavored cigar that showcased great Connecticut shade characteristics. Extremely well made with excellent construction, the cigar had an even, slow burn that held on to a long, light gray ash. This cigar is approachable to any level of experience, delivering flavors and aroma that a seasoned cigar lover can appreciate while not being overwhelming to someone just getting into the hobby.
Loved touring the factory years ago when I was on the DE Safari … history of the revolution and the factory amazing.
Not a fan of Connecticut wrappers but this one has peaked my interest
