Review Notes: For such a small stick, this Joya burns slow, mellow, and quite enjoyably. I'm a fan of the line, particularly of the Bellicose, and after a disappointing experience with their Gran Reserva, I'm happy to have another great smoke from this company. A bit spicy and with a heavy body despite being easy on the palate. The aroma IS very strong and those around you may not fancy it, so beware. This cigar is packed tight and it's packed with excellence so enjoy.
