Cigar aficionado ratings:    2018 Rating: 90    2019 Rating: 90    2021 Rating: 92    2022 Rating: 93     Made by Joya de Nicaragua Cigars, S.A.

Joya de Nicaragua, the oldest handmade cigar maker in Nicaragua, has been crafting cigars for over 50 years, focusing primarily on Nicaraguan tobacco to create what they consider the epitome of Nicaraguan cigars. However, with the introduction of Joya Silver, the company ventures into new territory by incorporating tobaccos from other regions to cater to the evolving tastes of today's cigar enthusiasts.

While Joya Silver maintains its Nicaraguan roots with entirely Nicaraguan filler tobacco, it introduces a Mexican binder and an Ecuador Havana wrapper. This blend offers a departure from Joya's traditional offerings, adding depth and complexity to the smoking experience.

In the Robusto variant of Joya Silver, smokers can expect a dynamic flavor profile. Initial notes of earth and cocoa pave the way for a burst of flavors reminiscent of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and dark fruits. The smoke is described as intense, yet balanced by an elegant crème brûlée sweetness, resulting in a harmonious and satisfying smoking experience.

This blend represents a new chapter in Joya de Nicaragua's storied history, showcasing their ability to adapt to contemporary preferences while maintaining the essence of Nicaraguan craftsmanship and flavor.
