Montecristo Joyita LLN NOV04

[Roy R. Frush]

It was a beautiful day in NYC, so I decided to have a quick smoke on the roof of my building. I had less than an hour to spare before the baseball game. What better choice than a Joyita?

This was a nicely constructed cigar. It started off with fireworks of cocoa and chocolate. I had dryboxed this specimen which contributed to increased smoke production.

Chocolate core remained consistent throughout, with some nutty hints thrown in as well.

Got a bit hot in the final third but I was smoking it relatively quickly so I could catch the start of the Cubs game. It was still good for over forty minutes of smoking pleasure. This diminutive stick displayed all the good stuff this marca is known for. I always enjoy these, but this happens to be an exceptionally tasty box.

94/100

Nice review Roy,

IMHO The Montecristo Joyita is an often over looked cigar because of its size and ring gauge. Big Mistake for those that over look it. Packed full of rich flavor and a truly enjoyable cigar!

Great review, this cigar has great Monte taste, but it is generally overpriced-- like the Cohiba Exquisito, great tasty thin ring gauge cigar but requires paying a premium for a short smoke.
