The Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco line celebrates the 55th anniversary of Nicaragua’s oldest cigar brand. It is part of their premium collection known as Obras Maestras. The blend was inspired by the numerous blending records collected during exclusive blending sessions. This commemorating smoke delivers a broad and rich flavor profile.
It immediately brings aromas of baking spices, earth, and wood to the palate, with a hint of licorice lingering in the background. A vegetal nuance is added further into the smoke, which turns balsamic towards the end.

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 are 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, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
