NUMERO UNO
Número Uno was originally blended for world leaders; they were only handed out by Nicaraguan ambassadors on official missions around the world. In 2018, to commemorate their 50th Anniversary, Joya gifted some to the media and special audiences and got their highest rating in 50 years! They are now officially releasing it as part of Obras Maestras, the designation of their ultra-premium family of cigars.
This ‘masterpiece’ cigar provides medium body and strength, in a smoke that is refined, complex and elegant. Creaminess is complemented with light pepper notes, making it a top-ranked, exclusive, diplomat lifestyle experience. Literally.
