"Other then the occasional cardboard taste that would pop in it was a great smoke. An interesting profile that had several profile changes kept me engaged till the end. I would smoke it again and hope that the paper flavor wasn't present." -Alan (Eulogy)

·"Wow, this is world class stick. Never have I had such a well balanced, nuanced, medium bodied smoke. The three transitions provided a ménage à trois of deliciousness that would satisfy any hardened and seasoned cigar smoker. I am floored by the quality of this cigar. BOX WORTHY. " -John A.

Joya de Nicaragua has announced a new vitola to their Cuatro Cinco blend, a Belicoso. The blend was originally released in 2013 in 4 vitolas: Torpedo 6 x 52, Toro 6½ x 50, Doble Robusto 5 x 56, and Petit Corona 4½ x 46. This new vitola will be available only at Drew Diplomat (DDRP) events from June through end of the year.
This year, Joya de Nicaragua has shipped two TAA exclusive cigars: Antaño Gran Reserva Presidente and Selección de Torcedor. The Antaño Gran Reserva Presidente returns from 2018 unchanged. The Selección de Torcedor is a new release but is only available with the purchase of the Gran Reserva as a 5-pack.
As the oldest and first premium cigar factory in Nicaragua, Joya de Nicaragua already has a phenomenal legacy. In 2018, they will bolster that legacy with the introduction of Cinco Décadas. This is a very special cigar made with an exclusive blend of tobaccos, and the 50 years of dedication and knowledge of the wonderful people at Joya de Nicaragua.

·"If you are a fan of mild cigars this is a real winner. The depth of flavors were terrific, smoke output was phenomenal, and profile changes kept me engaged. I would certainly smoke this again and again. " -Alan (Eulogy)

·Overall, this was an enjoyable cigar. Usually I don’t smoke milder sticks since they have a tendency to go sour halfway through, however this stick held its ground and provided ample amounts of body with enjoyable flavors! Definitely try out the Joya No. 1 before you count it out because of a Connecticut wrapper.
Joya de Nicaragua will expand their modern Joya cigar lineup at the upcoming 2018 IPCPR trade show. The new addition is called Joya Silver, and it will join Joya Red, Joya Black, and Joya Cabinetta in the line. It is the first box pressed entry in this line, and features a wrapper that Joya de Nicaragua classifies as an Oscuro upper-priming wrapper grown in Ecuador. It rounds out with a binder from Mexico and filler leaves from Nicaragua.
