Factory: Tabacalera Joya de Nicaragua – Estelí, Nicaragua
Size: 6” x 52
Strength: Medium-plus
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Sun-grown Criollo
Binder & Filler: Nicaragua (Esteli, Jalapa)
Dominant Flavors: cashew, citrus, earth, pepper, coffee bean, sweet spice
Where it’s at: The dark Criollo wrapper is flawless, oily, and one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Solidly-built with stunning precision, TLD opens with a nutty, cashew-like flavor and pepper. The smoke is uber-creamy with a citrusy tang and light pepper on the finish. The cigar smokes long enough to discover a virtual bacchanal of delicacies. Coffee bean, cinnamon, prime rib (seriously!), and other sweet seasonings convene at the mid-section, then journey forth in a harmonious juxtaposition of sweetness and spice. This cigar should be personally experienced to utterly appreciate its outstanding qualities.
