Beautiful little stick, but for the most part, I must say that Montecristo Joyitas was on the disappointing side, at least mostly.

Appearance :
Likely the most positive aspect of this stick was the appearance. This little cutie had no lumps and the veins only served to add character. The Montecristo Joyitas gave the visual of a high-profile smoke with a little bit of an old-school feel.

Construction :
The draw was far too difficult in the beginning. The tight looking construction appears to have been at the cost of the draw…
 
Flavor :
It started far too mild at the beginning. The draw was so difficult that I suspect that this was the cause. As I neared the second third, It began to strengthen a bit. I was able to begin to taste the berry tinge. Mildly satisfying, but not enough to make me want to toss my Robustos. I felt that the final third would be the fantastic sensation. It was as I thought, truly enjoyable, but one can’t help but regret having to smoke 2/3’s of the cigar to get to the good stuff.

Value :
The price seems fair for the ingredients, but for the actual experience, I would definitely not go this high.

Overall Rating :
It’s a decent cigar, I suppose, if you are wanting something that will not distract you. I suspect that this would be an amazing smoke if it weren’t stuffed so tight. I suppose it could be just the one I smoked, but I’d hate to risk it.
