This cigar immediately caught my attention with its dual wrapper—the creamy Ecuadorian Connecticut on top and Nicaraguan binder/filler underneath. For a newer smoker like me, the Cabinetta was both approachable and exciting. The first few draws were creamy and light, with subtle hints of sweetness and toasted nuts. As I progressed, more earthy and woody notes came forward, along with that signature Joya spice, though much softer than some of their bolder blends. The burn was steady, and I enjoyed the visual appeal of the two-toned wrapper burning down. About halfway in, it became more complex: cream mixed with a little cocoa and hints of leather. It’s medium-bodied at most, which makes it perfect for someone like me who doesn’t want to be overpowered but still wants character in the smoke. The aroma was very pleasant—sweet and nutty rather than strong or heavy. Overall, this felt like a cigar designed to bridge the gap between mild and strong smokes, offering enough flavor to keep me engaged without overwhelming my palate. It’s also just a fun-looking cigar to smoke, and I think that

The J Cortes Orange Tubed Corona was a proper sit-down smoke for me, lasting around an hour, maybe a touch more. I liked the flavour, smooth but with enough depth to keep it interesting. It comes ready-punched, which makes life easier, and the nicotine kick is strong, so it’s not something I’d hand to a beginner. For the price though, it’s excellent value, and the fact it comes tubed means you don’t really need a humidor if you plan to smoke it within a year or so. I enjoyed mine out in the garden with a vodka and some coconut water ice cubes, a surprisingly good match for me personally. Overall, a solid cigar when you’ve got the time to relax.

Excellent quality at a very low price! Brilliant construction, smooth draw, the most even burn I’ve seen a cigar for a long time, did not need any touch ups. In terms of the flavour profile, it as expected at this price point. There are some hints of expresso and dark chocolate but ever so faint. At this price point this cigar cannot be judged too harshly.

Juliany Maduro Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Smooth and leathery all the way down with hints of pepper in the final 3rd. Well rolled with no touch ups required. A nice evening smoke for the price.
I bought this with the idea of finding a daily smoke. It doesn't quite make the cut for me but I'd recommend it if you are on a budget.

This is a really excellent cigar! The taste is very good, smooth at first and finishing really well when it gets down to the darker wrapper at the end. I have bought four, smoked three and have just ordered another four. I finished this one in about 45 minutes, sitting in the august sunshine with a negroni. Superb!

Flawless construction, wrapper is quite veiny but nice looking and oily to touch, nice cold draw with just a touch of resistance using a guillotine cut. Probably the sharpest burn I've seen in a long time, absolutely razor sharp. Ash holds on for 2-3cm revealing a perfect cone, zero relights or corrections needed. Somke is a touch thin but lovely and cool, fairly straightforward flavour with spicy black pepper upfront alongside wood and leather, some subtle sweetness in the background, no strength and light to low medium body. A absolute steal at this price point.
