Joya Cabinetta Series

[TheRiddick]

Smoked one yesterday. If you like Alec Bradley Tempus or Illusione, then I am sure you'll like these as well. Full bodied, creamy and rich with the maduro wrapper adding some spice as well (once you get there).

um, no. the cigar is slightly stronger than mild. pleasant, but mono-dimensional. the maduro leaf(as explained by marvin samel) is too short to be smoked and is intended to be tasted for it's unlit qualities.

I find Camachos on a mild side, FYI, and milder than this stick (Corona size). There is enough maduro there to get a decent taste of it, spice and all. Once you leave the Criollo wrapper and get into Maduro, you DO notice a flavor change and I was happy to nub it. Smoke one on an empty stomach, let me know how mild it is. Had it been mild, I'd have tossed it pretty early (had it after a meal).

If there is one negative there, it is the slight underfill, which leads to ash breaking off at about 2/3 of an inch (even though there is a solid feel to the cigar?).

I hate when that happens. My experience easily gained me 2"+ on ash length. This was simply my own personal experience though.

the criollo is the maduro.
and a cigar doesn't change it's strength because your stomach is empty or full.
