Joya de Nicaragua is well known for crafting cigars that excel at delivering loads of power, but with the Red they've turned their blenders onto the task of creating a cool-smoking stick that can be picked up by nearly anyone and at any time of the day. Using lower priming tobaccos, Red has the same core flavors of rich Nicaraguan goodness the brand displays in their other cigars, like roasted pepper, toasted peanut, burnt sugar, thick leather, dark roasted coffee bean, and hickory, but in a dialed-back medium strength format.
