Overall, the Joya de Nicaragua Clásico Original Green Room Selection is a good cigar, capturing a good amount of complexities to never bore the palate. The combination of spice, wood, natural sweet creaminess and a mouth coating oiliness worked really well. It's not the typical profile that I gravitate towards but I respect and enjoyed the blend.
The Joya de Nicaragua Clásico Medio Siglo Robusto had a nice start, with a bold and interesting flavor profile. It dropped down in the second third as the black pepper began to fade and maintained that level the rest of the way. This is an interesting cigar for the brand that carries a very nice price point. While I wouldn't see coming back to this often, I would be interested in trying some of the other vitolas to see if there is one that shines a bit more.
The Joya de Nicaragua Clasico Número 6 had a bit more black pepper spice to it than most newly marketed Equadorian Connecticut shade wrapped cigars, in which I found it to be a pleasant surprise. I'm looking forward to smoking the remaining sizes in the lineup to especially gauge how much spice each vitola delivers.
