Ambrosia Tikis get a 5 star rating from me. Because of the wonderful aromas on the retrohale and the nice tobacco taste, typically lost in most infused sticks. Right away, before light-up, the wrapper and foot smell of baking spice (Ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg) as well as an earthy aroma. once you fire it up, it just floods your head with relaxation. For me, it just tastes like nice sweet tobacco at first, with those baking spices, and the retrohale is VERY mild... Until you get right to the band of the stick. Then the retrohale finally gives you those wonderful spices, first smelled before lighting the cigar. What I loved was being able to detect the tobacco taste and smell, the whole time those spices were present, and the cap wasn't too sweet. Only downside was how squishy it gets down towards the nub. But... most cigarillos do that in my experiences anyway. Just wish I didn't have to wait until towards the end of the stick, for the full-bodiedness. Still gets 5 stars from me.

Joya Black are amazing. I've had 2 so far and they did not disappoint. Construction was flawless, flavors/aromas were delicious, & the look of the cigar was very nice and on point. It packs a punch in such a little stick! Leather, wood, cayenne and black pepper. Retrohale definitely wakes ya up! It stayed firm down to the nub too, where most cigarillos tend to get squishy towards the end. It's 5 stars from me.
