The Joya de Nicaragua Dos Cientos is a celebration of the 200th anniversary of Central America’s independence from the Spanish empire. The blend includes tobaccos from five different regions. This Gran Toro sized smoke presents a surprisingly smooth, elegant, and complex flavor profile with a reduced strength level for the region.
It delivers aromas of hazelnut, wood, leather, and coffee. The smoke is creamy, and later, notes of white pepper, cocoa, and herbs are added.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine Winter 2021 issue.
