Joya Silver Robusto

The Joya Silver Robusto opens with a vibrant mix of sweet cedar, dark chocolate, and a lively peppery spice that sets an energetic medium-full tone. The retrohale delivers a sharp white pepper kick, balanced by underlying notes of roasted nuts and a subtle caramel sweetness. As the cigar transitions into the second third, flavors of espresso crema, charred oak, and a hint of cinnamon develop, adding depth while maintaining a rich, bold character. The final third intensifies with notes of bittersweet cocoa, leather, and a lingering molasses finish, offering a robust yet smooth smoking experience with a refined edge.
