Let me preface this by stating that I am normally not a big Joya de Nicaragua fan.
I find their cigars good, but not something I generally reach for.
But this Rosalones is a very well made, mild to medium body, even though some state medium body I'd lean more toward the lighter side of medium.
The wrapper is a dark brown criollo. Very nice looking cigar.
It has a bit of pepper/spice to it, but it is not overpowering and has an almost cameroon taste to it, which I think is why I found this cigar to be very much to my liking.
This is one of those cigars that caught me off guard. I wasn't prepared to like this cigar, but I sure do. I wouldn't consider it as sweet as a cameroon, but it has a lot of the same notes of a cameroon.
It is definitely one that I will look for getting more of.
If you've tried it, I'd sure like to know what you thought of it.
Remember, I'm still trying to understand how to "review" the cigars, so be kind when you make judgement of this short review.

Join the club in not knowing how. I always say my reviews are more for me than for someone else, but I'm happy to share if someone finds them entertaining or useful.
I think I might have to try one of these based on your review. It seems like cameroon is seeing an upswing in popularity right now. I see it mentioned a LOT on the interwebs. I've enjoyed some but not so much others, but I feel the same way about criollo. I don't think "Cameroon" is monolithic anymore than I think any other wrapper moniker could be. It's a generalization. I tend to like Criollo, so I'm interested in this one. I'm intrigued by the JdN in part because I've enjoyed other JdN, especially the Celebracion, but would like a hint of the spice removed and a touch more sweetness. If the Rosalones does this and keeps the complexity, I'd really like it.
