The Joya de Nicaragua Cabinetta Toro is one of the most distinctive cigars in the Joya portfolio. Unlike traditional blends, it features a unique two-wrapper design: a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper covers the first portion of the cigar, while a darker Nicaraguan Criollo leaf wraps the final third. This construction creates a noticeable evolution in flavor as the smoke progresses. [smokingpipes.com], [atlanticcigar.com]
