We want to give a special thanks to all of our amigos who keep enjoying the flavors of Nicaragua! Your reviews are a testament to the passion and talent our people put into the making of these masterpieces. Here are the best cigars of 2019.

 

Joya Siver Corona – Top 25 by Cigar Aficionado

Our Joya Silver Corona got the 21st spot in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 annual list. This selection is made through blind-tasting, where the top-scoring cigars are smoked against each other through multiple rounds.

“It starts with an earthy core that takes on layers of dried fruit, roasted nuts and coffee bean. Overall, the cigar is medium-to-full bodied without ever losing its sense of balance or harmony and is a pleasure to smoke from first puff to last. Fans of coronas will appreciate how so much flavor can come from such a diminutive size.”

Cinco Décadas El General – Top 25 by Cigar Journal

Our Cinco Décadas El General got the 16th spot in Cigar Journal’s Top 25 annual list.

It can’t be said any other way. This cigar more than lives up to the occasion, exactly as the Joya advertising slogan says. With almost every draw, this cigar offers new experiences. Earthy, nutty and woody aromas, herbs, the freshness of aniseed, the sweetness of chocolate and coffee. It is very creamy, from time to time, fruity and continuously exciting.

The CT line was introduced earlier this year and combines the body of the Antaño line, which is the strongest in Joya de Nicaragua’s portfolio, together with the sweetness of the Connecticut Shade wrapper. Intense and masterfully balanced cigar. The characteristics of the Connecticut wrapper are supported by a blend that is nothing short of explosive.
