Review Notes: The Joyas are the easiest to like of all the La Finca models. Beginning with the 2005's, the wrapper is a bit different than what I have been getting the past few years; but it is still a great, low-cost smoke. No trace of the heavy/bitter taste that you get with the Valentinos. If you let them age a few months, they get really, really, nice.

Review Notes: if you buy the ammo box with 91 toros from jr, you will be getting the absolute best value i've ever found for a longfiller handmade smoke. less than 60.00 for the box . these are really good smokes, not great, but value wise they can't be beat.

Review Notes: I smoked my first Joya a couple of weeks ago, after being given it by an aquaintence. I could not believe that they cost about a dollar. The cigar had been aged for a while. Even burn, taste to my liking and an easy draw. Instead of clipping, use a tooth-pick and pierce about five or six holes. This keeps the wrapper in order and allows plenty of air through this hand rolled cigar. I bought a box and smoked a couple in the first week, good value cigar that needs to cure for a while

Review Notes: The color of the cigars is pretty consistent within the box. The cigar feels a little bit soft, the wrapper of the cigar does not have any thick vines, and if feels a little bit silky. The construction of the cap is pretty good, but it is very hard to clip the cigar. It is very easy to light the cigar, and the draw is surprisingly easy, very easy. The color of the ash is gray, but has a light brown tone in the ash. The cigar burns a little bit uneven, the ash is very flaky, but it is quite firm. Smoke is creamy, smooth, and it is a mild to medium cigar (for me). Aroma of the cigar smells smooth, and pleasant. I cannot not sense any flavor in this cigar, except a light woody taste and a very light sweetness . At the last third of the cigar, the cigar became too harsh, yet flavorless (the burning of the tobacco and bitterness can be tasted). When the cigar burns to about half an inch from the band, the wrapper began to crisp and start to break down (that¡¦s when I stop smoking it), and it takes me about an hour to finish the cigar. The cigars have been in the humidor for 6 weeks, I guess the rest of the Fincas should stay in the humidor for a longer period of time for them to age even more. I would recommend this cigar as an everyday smoke (age in humidor for a period of time may be required), for it is a good cigar with a very good price.

Review Notes: Yup, let them set a while and burn while doing chores. Complex and tastey for a cheap gar.
