  • Cigar Review – Joya Cabinetta Lancero by Joya de Nicaragua

    Full disclosure time, I’m a longtime fan of the Cabinetta series. It’s not only a regular rotation smoke for me, but it has proven to be an outstanding cigar to hand out to novice smokers over the years. There’s nothing scary about the Cabinetta as it’s always a smooth,...
