It's a bit spicier than the Noellas IMO. I think they're fabulous. Went through a box and I wish I had more!
The ligero wrapper is aged for a bit, and I think it definitely shows. Not quite as punchy as it could be, but the flavor is all there. Not sure how much the wrapper was aged, tho. The J 21 is proof that a ligero-wrapped cigar can still be pretty complex and flavorful without being too strong and overpowering.
The first few puffs might be a bit strong, tho! But it doesn't stay like that throughout the entire stick.
