Nice flavour but terrible build quality. Tight draw with low smoke output. The caps were also not stuck on very well and frayed when smoking. To be honest I have smoked a few Joya de Nicaragua cigars and I was not impressed with the build quality of any of them. Its a pity because they always have nice flavour profile. I definitely will not buy this brand of cigar again.

This is everything I want in a good cigar. Earthiness with a hint of leather and cedar, a good consistent draw right to the end, plenty of smoke and a nice even burn.throughout. Its appearance is unique thanks to the way it’s been packed and it has a lovely dark oily wrapper which has been perfectly rolled and looks exquisite. Lasted well over an hour and never once underperformed. Why would I need Cuban when Yagua is every bit as good. I suppose I am going to have to buy a box of these next to be sure I’m never without. Better start saving cos they’re not cheap but for this quality I wouldn’t expect them to be. The David Tabernacle has been my go to cigar up until now. Now there’s a strong contender!

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.

Highly recommend, get one of these while you still can as it's a very limited edition.
Whilst I usually tend to prefer Cubans, I have explored a good number of the New World offerings. Most of them I have enjoyed,and those I wouldn't try again were more to do with personal taste rather than quality or construction issues. That said, I always seem to come back to this brand as quality has always been first class and they offer a range of blends to suit all tastes ( I have yet to try one that I wouldn't want to try again). This collection lets you sample them all, in the most popular sizes, and at a price that is ridiculously low for such a limited edition.

I love cigars with a Mexican San Andres wrapper, especially combined with Nicaraguan binder and fillers. This cigar had a good taste from light up and I enjoyed the typical flavour notes you would expect from this blend of tobaccos. Unfortunately the construction let this cigar massively. I'm not sure if this is typical of this brand or if I was unlucky. The draw was slightly tight and the burn line was terrible. I had to correct the burn after every few draws. It was also trying to go out if I didn't smoke on it every 15 - 20 secs. I had to relight it fully again at one point. It is a pitty because it definitely had nice flavours but I give up before I reached the band. I will stick to the EP CARILLO La Historia from now on, it has the same tobacco combinations but slightly more prominent flavours and a perfect construction.

Wood, Earth and black tea are the flavours that stood out for me. 45 minutes smoke time all the way to the nub with no issues like others have reported.
To my taste buds this white tubes are one is the best of the three and could be smoked by new people to cigars as it only has a light touch of spice.
For the price point these are well worth to grab a few for a mid week smoke.
