Joya de Nicaragua Red Toro 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

Ill start by saying ive smoked about 100 cigars so dont class myself as a beginner but certainly not an expert. This was the strangest experience i have had. The first half was mild, sweet with a taste of caramel and almonds. The second half was dark and spicy. It lasted about an hour and a half. The first half i needed 2 large puffs to get out the smoke and flavour each time but the second half was a much easier draw. It really was like smoking 2 seperate cigars. The cigar did start to unravel a slight bit in the final 3rd and lots of touch ups were needed throughout. It has left me feeling a bit strange if im honest whereas i usually feel relaxed and soothed after a cigar. I have had a stressful week and maybe this is a lot to do with my mood rather than the cigar i honestly dont know. Its not a cigar i would have again but would not wish to put off anyone to try for themselves as we are all different.
