Joya de Nicaragua is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, and the company has created a new cigar line called Cinco de Cinco that was inspired by the hundreds of blending records gathered during private blending sessions so that the company’s master blenders could build what it calls “the perfect scoring recipe.”
That blend features tobacco that the company describes as being “ultra-vintage,” starting with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, while the binder and fillers come from Nicaragua. The company calls it a five-out-of-five in profile and complexity, full-bodied and medium strength with hints of cocoa and dark chocolate.
