Joya de Nicaragua Cabinetta Corona Gorda Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 05 October, 2025 by Richard

This Joya perfectly captures the bold, earthy character that Nicaraguan cigars are known for. As someone still learning the nuances of cigar profiles, I’ve found Joya to be one of the most consistent and rewarding brands to explore. Every cigar in their range feels thoughtfully made, with reliable construction and a clear sense of identity. The overall flavor profile leans toward rich, full-bodied notes—earth, spice, coffee, and cocoa—balanced by subtle sweetness and depth. Even their lighter offerings, like the Cabinetta, carry a distinct Nicaraguan warmth, while blends such as the Red, Black, and Antaño showcase increasing layers of strength and complexity. What stands out most is how each cigar seems to build upon the next, offering a clear path of progression for anyone developing their palate. Draws are typically smooth, the smoke output generous, and the burn performance consistently reliable. Joya cigars invite you to slow down and appreciate the craftsmanship behind every leaf. For me, the brand represents confidence and authenticity—bold flavors without pretense, and quality that never feels inaccessible. Rating: 8/10

Tasting notes couldn't be more accurate. Perfectly formed unit, even the cut was exemplary, light spice to it from the start and burned well staying equally as satisfying to the label and the final darker wrapper gave a deeper finish to a great smoke!

This is an interesting unit, with it's dual wrapper and all. Beautifully made it has to be said and this was borne out as it smoked its way gently and evenly to the nub. First impressions are very good, with an instant hit of chocolate and nuts, think a dark Ferrero Rocher maybe? Develops nicely and, when you get down to the band and (very delicately) remove it, the way in which the darker leaf melds in is quite a sight to behold. Unfortunately, for me at least, it didn't really add anything and the smoking just got a bit darker and monotonous in the final third. Overall though I enjoyed it and it will be definitely be a talking point if you get to share it with friends.

An absolute joy to smoke from start to finish. The first two thirds gave a nice creamy taste and required minimal touch ups. The final third is best described as going form drinking a latte to a cortado. A slightly punchier taste, but still very pleasant. I did have to touch up towards the end, but that couldve been because I was distracted by a jay and not because of the cigar.
