Review Notes: JR ran a deal a few years back, 48 Valentinos and humidor for $80. Knowing going in this was an investment I jumped on them. 3 to 4 years later it is paying great dividends. My tastes have moved to stronger smokes making this one more suited to morning coffee or an afternoon break. Flavors of toasted wheat, cedar, and nuts with hints of flora and honey. The finish becomes longer toward the halfway mark and a heavier Nic/tar influence evolves. A quick purge brings the flavor back. The humidor has served me well since day one and the cigars just keep getting better.

Review Notes: The Valentino is the big brother of the Joya's I enjoyed so much when I was bit by the cigar bug. La Finca is a reasonably priced everyday smoke that MUST be aged. The factory churns these out so fast they frequently ship off the rollers table to keep up with demand. Once allowed to mature and marry this medium bodied smoke develpos a very nice floral, toasty and sometimes peppery flavor. A good budget buy.
