Joya de Nicaragua Black Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Wednesday 03 September, 2025 by Richard

The Joya Black Label has been one of the most exciting cigars I’ve smoked so far. It’s wrapped in a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper, which gives it a rich, bold appearance that immediately sets the tone. The first few draws were earthy and slightly sweet, with cocoa and espresso notes right from the start. I was a little nervous it would be too strong, but it stayed smooth and well-balanced the whole way through. The pepper and spice were present but not overwhelming, adding complexity without harshness. Midway, I noticed a subtle creaminess blending with the darker flavors, which really kept my interest. The burn was perfect—razor sharp and steady. This cigar felt a little more “serious” than some of the lighter smokes I’ve tried, but in a good way. It showed me how a darker wrapper can bring depth without being overpowering. The aroma was rich, almost chocolatey, which I really enjoyed. Toward the final third, the strength picked up, but it stayed pleasant and flavorful rather than bitter. For me, this felt like a big step in my cigar journey—bold but still approachable.
