Cigars from Around the World

Inspired by Amigos. Made by Maestros. Handcrafted for those is the know.

Launched to celebrate Joya De Nicaragua turning 55, Cinco de Cinco is the latest edition to the ultra premium Obras Maestras line. 'This cigars 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'

Joya De Nicaragua was one of the first to host private cigar blending sessions in its factory in Esteli, 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 wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers and binders in a soft pressed format. It is a five out of five in profile & complexity, full bodied and medium strength, with dark rich flavours that offer hints of cocoa and dark chocolate.

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'. Cinco de Cinco come in 10 count boxes and the Robusto vitola is an exclusive release for Europe and international markets.

Joya de Nicaragua Cinco Decadas Diadema

The Cigar

Back in 2018, Joya de Nicaragua celebrated its 50th anniversary how many cigar companies celebrate anniversaries, with a new cigar line. This one was called Cinco Décadas, a new limited production line and it would become the company’s most esteemed offering.

But beyond just using the Cinco Décadas line to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, Joya de Nicaragua has been using it to celebrate and honor some key people and a key thing in the company’s history

Esteli, Nicaragua - The 1980s were a critical decade for Nicaragua and Nicaraguan cigars. Two events were fundamental in shaping the country’s history during that decade: the civil war and the economic embargo, declared by the United States against the Central  American nation in 1985. The embargo became an enormous obstacle for Nicaraguan products, as they were prohibited from entering the US Market, and its citizens could no longer enjoy Nicaraguan crafted cigars. But once more from obstacles came opportunity.

With its primary market forbidden indefinitely, Joya de Nicaragua had to seek alternatives to sell its cigars. This is how Joya de Nicaragua found in Europe one of its greatest allies, emerging as the first brand of   Nicaraguan cigars to be enjoyed in the old world, and eventually becoming one of the best known Nicaraguan brands around the globe.

“Cinco Decadas pays tribute to our milestones as a company; the events that have made and shaped who we are today. But not all of the occasions were positive, some of them were paramount challenges. The embargo was one of those hard situations we confronted, but one that in retrospect allowed Joya de Nicaragua to establish itself as a truly global brand. Another great example of how the tough moments in life can actually make us better and stronger. With El Embargo, we bring to our European friends a token of gratitude for opening their arms to us during those years” said Dr Alejandro Martinez Cuenca, Chairman of Joya de Nicaragua S.A

Commemorating the resisliency of Joya de Nicaragua thirty five years ago, the company is proud to introduce Cinco Decadas El Embargo, a limited edition 6 x 60 box pressed gigante with only 500 boxes of 10 cigars produced. Respecting its origin, it will not be available for sale in the USA 

Strength: Medium to Full

Profile: Unparalleled elegance

Joya de Nicaragua Joya Numero Uno L'Ambassador

The Cigar

Número Uno was originally blended for World Leaders. Handed by Nicaraguan ambassadors on official missions around the world. In 2018, we gifted some to media and special audiences and got our highest rating in 50 years. We are now officially releasing it as part of Obras Maestras, the designation of our ultra-premium family of cigars.

This ‘masterpiece’ cigar provides medium body and strength, in a smoke that is refined, complex and elegant. Creaminess complemented with light pepper notes, making it a top-ranked, exclusive, diplomat lifestyle experience. Literally.

The Ultimate Jewel Collection from Joya De Nicaragua was inspired by an exchange between a visitor to the Joya factory in Esteli, Nicaragua and Master bochero Aristo Torres. When asked ‘what exactly do you do?’ his brilliant response was ‘I am a jeweller. But not just any jeweller. Each of my hand-rolled creations is a man’s best friend. It’s not just a cigar; it’s an experience, each puff a story unfolding’

This seemingly trivial exchange sparked the inspiration behind the Ultimate Jewel Collection. A remarkable sampler of Joya De Nicaragua’s top creations providing a journey into the craftmanship of its blenders and master makers through time. An insight into the work of Aristo, who humbly and confidently, has been perfecting his craft at the factory for the past 30 years and counting.

The Ultimate Jewel Collection features fourteen exceptional cigars, each from one of JDN’s family of brands in its line’s best-selling vitola. The selection also spans launches from 1968 all the way to 2023, from when Joya initiated the Nicaraguan cigar industry, to the commemorative 55th Anniversary blend. The cigars will provide a deep insight into the wide range of flavour profiles, complexities and strengths mastered throughout the years.

Joya de Nicaragua literally translates to the ‘Jewel of Nicaragua’ An unequivocal link to luxury, but one that by belief is unpretentious. Instead of delighting boasters, this jewel stands for craftsmanship, heritage and quality, with the sole purpose of crafting great cigars for those in the know. Every puff is a story, a legacy passed through smoke and fire. Imagine unwrapping this box, each cigar a hidden gem revealing itself. The tobacco leaves? Chosen with the precision of a jeweller, aged to perfection, hand-rolled into what Joya like to call a smokeable masterpiece.
