HISTORY

Joya de Nicaragua, S.A are a 100% Nicaraguan-owned and operated company that develops, manufactures and markets internationally renowned cigar brands in over 40 countries. The history of Joya goes hand in hand with Nicaragua’s evolution over the last five decades as one of the most complex and enchanting countries in Latin America. The richness of their history allows them to be conscious and humbled by who they are, allowing them to talk about their experiences with authenticity.

In 2016, the Cuatro Cinco Double Robusto was the first Nicaraguan cigar to be awarded UK Cigar of the Year at a special ceremony in London. December 2018 saw Joya De Nicaragua awarded UK Cigar Producer of the Year at a prestigious ceremony. In 2018 & 2019, HalfWheel named Joya De Nicaragua Factory of the Year, and Joya De Nicaragua were awarded 2020 Large Factory of the Year by Cigar Coop.

CINCO DE CINCO

Launched to celebrate Joya de Nicaragua turning 55, Cinco de Cinco is the latest edition to the ultra premium Obras Maestras line. “This cigar was made with the people, by the people and for the people”, says Juan Ignacio Martinez, Executive President of JDN. “Our past is all about tobacco. Our bright future is all about tobacco. We are here, stronger than ever, thanks to our wonderful community of amigos.”’

The cigar box shines bright in emerald green. “An emerald symbolises love, wisdom, growth and prosperity – values very much embodied in the brand”, says Juan Martinez. “It is indeed a rare and mystical jewel.”

Joya De Nicaragua was one of the first to host private cigar blending sessions in its factory in Estelí, offering a fun and fascinating insight into blend creation. The JDN master blenders have since reviewed hundreds of blending records to build the perfect scoring recipe. Cinco de Cinco is made from ultra-vintage tobaccos, including a Mexican San Andres and Nicaraguan fillers and binders in a soft-pressed format.

It is a five out of five in profile and complexity, full-bodied and medium strength, with dark, rich flavours that offer hints of cocoa and dark chocolate.

Profile: Earthy flavours and hints of cocoa & dark chocolate.
