Just read a review by “Claude”, who gushed about his mountain lodge - and how civilised the French are. Don’t expect that level of knobbery from me! I’ll just say that the O is a reliable and satisfying smoke for seasoned cigar smokers. Expect notes of leather, cream and cedar, and a smoke that burns at the right temperature - even if you abuse it!

Great cigar with a decent price. The cigar consists of a spicy creamy taste and lasts from 30 to 40 minutes.

Over the years I’ve enjoyed many cigars from Joya, this hasn’t been any exception. I found this cigar to be very medium in strength throughout, with notes of woodiness, pleasant light fruity notes also and some hints of earthiness but nothing like you’d expect traditionally from a Joya. Personally the size was what made me choose this cigar, feels good in the hand with a good size allowing a nice cool smoke, very pleasant cigar to smoke and would recommend especially for those who might seek a cigar with more delicate sweeter notes then the traditional heavier Nicaraguan cigars out there. Lasted just over an hour but felt the cigar smoked best at a slow pace which wasn’t always easy to do, for the flavours certainly made you want to puff frequently away. I’m rating 4 stars for I feel it’s a very good cigar, but not the 5 stars meaning excellent! I need not mention construction for that was perfect and consistent like every Joya I’ve ever smoked.

This little beauty sat in my humidor for three months and when I gave her a cut and a toast I was very pleasantly surprised at how much flavour and taste this well priced Connecticut had to offer. A perfect draw from the offset and a balanced light throughout. 1st third was spicy and mellow dancing on the lips and the tongue with a subtle salty retro hale that tickled with a youthful charm. 2nd third mellowed out to a very pleasant soft and creamy middle reminiscent of a coffee creme chocolate. The final third returns you to a spicy finale which once again brings your taste receptors dancing back. Give yourself a well deserved half and hour to slowly savour this delightful Connecticut.

Juliany Maduro Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Very good at that price tag. Draw was great, burn slightly uneven, but delivered nice flavors, nice nutty oily touches. A bit of bitterness here and there, but overall a very enjoyable smoke. I also tried the chisel selection from them and this is not only cheaper, its built better and delivers a lot more in a smaller package.

Received this today, having preordered a few weeks back. First impressions, the tin is beautiful. Unbesmirched by gruesomely illustrated health warnings, it really is a joy to behold. The tobacco itself looks lovely, with so many nuanced shades, if rainbows were brown, this would be one. The aroma coming from the tin is really quite gorgeous. There’s something sweet, ripe, and very inviting about it. In the pipe it lights easily, despite a fair level of moisture. I dried out a portion for about an hour, and it lit perfectly. It did not need a single relight all the way to the end. It burns evenly and slightly quicker than I expected, however I was outside and it was windy. The flavour and aroma carry through the tin-note nicely. A sweet and mellow smoke with no tongue bite. I can’t comment on the room note as I was outdoors, but I can’t imagine it would be anything other than great. A very enjoyable tobacco, and once again, great service from Cgars.
