Joya de Nicaragua

Cinco Decadas

This one didn't impress me as much as I expected it to. Although the profile brought notes of leather, sweet chocolate, and a little bit of earth, the overall flavor was incredibly weak. The draw was a little too open, but the burn was almost perfect. Just wanted a little bit more from this cigar.

I was expecting alot from this cigar for $22.... Sadly I was disappointed. It wasn't a bad smoke, I was expecting a very complex blend with different notes during the smoke and it just wasn't there. The first 4 of 6 inches were fairly generic, the last 2 the blend really showed up and the taste was phenomenal. Too little, too late for me.

Really hard to light. The draw was very tight and I had to keep cutting back further and further. Once lit, it smoked well but needed a few touch ups.
