JDN PRESENTS CUATRO CINCO SECRET CASK
From Barrel to Legend:
CUATRO CINCO SECRET CASK
Estelí, Nicaragua — In 2013, the premise was simple: to commemorate Joya de Nicaragua’s 45th anniversary with something truly exceptional. From that vision, Cuatro Cinco “Edición Limitada” was born, the very first in our Obras Maestras ultra-premium family of cigars — crafted with meticulously selected, barrel-aged tobaccos. Featuring 100% Nicaraguan fillers, including five-year-aged ligeros matured in whiskey-rum white oak casks, this limited edition of only 4,500 boxes delivered a uniquely seductive taste and an enchanting aroma that captivated cigar lovers worldwide, selling out within just a few weeks. A carefully modified blend then later became Cuatro Cinco “Reserva Especial”.
…But enthusiasts never forgot the original Cuatro Cinco “Edición Limitada”.
More than a decade later, filled with nostalgia and memories of those first Cuatro Cinco smokes, we unveil Cuatro Cinco “Secret Cask.” A tribute to years of milestones, accolades, and unforgettable shared moments. Expertly crafted with our finest tobaccos, extra-aged in charred oak barrels that once held exceptional spirits, Cuatro Cinco “Secret Cask” is rich in character and complexity — born from a secret cask hidden at the heart of the Joya de Nicaragua factory and destined for this very purpose.
““In 2013, we set aside a few barrels of aging tobacco for a future purpose, in a room that feels almost sacred within our factory. We began calling it the Secret Cask — a sanctuary where temperature and humidity are carefully regulated, and where time itself becomes an ingredient. These barrels have cradled the finest, most carefully selected leaves, whispering their secrets into the tobacco, deepening its soul, and weaving an unparalleled richness into every note. Now, years later, the Secret Cask is no longer a secret — its treasure is ready to be revealed.”

The “Secret Cask” at The Joya De Nicaragua Factory
With a total production of 1,500 boxes — 700 destined for the U.S. and 800 for the rest of the world — Cuatro Cinco “Secret Cask” uses the same blend of the original Edición Limitada: 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos in its wrapper, binder, and fillers. Presented in the same elegant 6x54 box-pressed format that debuted in 2013.
Each 10-count box includes a mini-casket containing filler tobaccos that replicate the unique Secret Cask aging process. Rolled exclusively by our most experienced torcedores, this medium-to-full-bodied cigar offers rich complexity, with subtle woody and sweet undertones, and an exquisitely velvety finish.
This highly anticipated release will begin shipping to stores in early November 2025.
