The cigar was not particularly complex and could be divided into two parts. The flavors in the other hand were quite unique.
Construction
The feeling I got when I held the cigar was a relaxed everyday cigar. A cigar that comes out on sunny days when going for a walk or sitting on the balcony after a long day at work. The cigar was a little uneven and had some soft parts along the entire length of the cigar. The wrapper had a matte feel to it.
Wrapper:Ecuador – Mexico – Filler: Nicaragua
Scent and cold draw
The wrapper had a lighter scent of leather while the filler had a scent of farm yard. The cold draft gave me flavors of maltiness with a lighter hint of hay.
1/2 Lets light up the Joya De Nicaragua silver robusto
It all started with a faint buttery texture and the dominant flavors I felt were hay, fruitiness with a hint of cherry, nuttiness, sweet herbs, breadiness and general sweetness. In the background were flavors of milk chocolate, citrus and general spiciness. The retrohalation was smooth and gave nuances of hay and spiciness.
2/2 the cigar showed a minor complexity
As I entered the second part of the cigar, the texture became creamy and the dominant flavors I felt were fresh herbs, nuttiness towards almonds, a fruitiness that was difficult to explain, the easiest is that it reminded me of creamy red grapes and sweet floral nuances combined. In the background there were nuances of citrus peel, cacao and butter. The retrohalation was smooth and gave nuances of hay.

Conclusion
Joya de nicaragua silver robusto has a rather unique fruitiness combined with florality that makes it interesting. It is not particularly complex but flavorful. I had to correct the cigar a bit from the beginning. The body, which is on the medium side, makes it suitable for most aficionados and especially for those who have recently started their cigar journey. If I compare price vs taste vs quality, I think it is where it should have been thought that a lot of correction was required.
