Joya Cabinetta Corona Gorda

Size: 5¼" × 46
Box Count: 20 Cigars
Factory: Joya de Nicaragua, Estelí, Nicaragua [joyacigars.com], [cigargrail.com]

The Joya Cabinetta Corona Gorda is one of the most distinctive cigars in the Joya portfolio. Unlike the brand's traditionally bold and full-bodied offerings, the Cabinetta line was blended to provide a smoother, creamier, mild-to-medium-bodied smoking experience.

What makes this cigar unique is its dual-wrapper design. The body is wrapped in Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade, while the head is finished with a cap of Nicaraguan H. Criollo, creating a two-tone appearance and a gradual evolution of flavor throughout the smoke. [joyacigars.com], [cigargrail.com]
