Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco Corona Extra

The Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco Corona Extra is a celebratory cigar crafted to mark the brand’s 55th anniversary. This Corona Extra (6 1/4" x 46) is meticulously hand-rolled at the Fábrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua. Featuring an ultra-vintage Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, the cigar is soft box-pressed for an elegant presentation and optimal draw. The blend was developed through a collaborative process, drawing inspiration from hundreds of blending sessions with aficionados and experts. The result is a cigar that delivers a five-out-of-five rating in both profile and complexity, balancing full flavour with medium strength for a rich, satisfying experience. Rich, earthy flavours and hints of cocoa and dark chocolate. 

Cigar Aficionado: 'A box-pressed cigar draped in an inky cover leaf. Big notes of oak and leather are supported by a range of toffee, coffee bean, red pepper and cocoa powder tones, all culminating in a spicy finish.' 

Joya de Nicaragua is Nicaragua’s oldest premium cigar brand, established in 1968 in the city of Estelí. The brand was founded during a period of political change and quickly became the official diplomatic gift of the Nicaraguan government, presented to visiting dignitaries and heads of state. Joya de Nicaragua is credited with pioneering the Nicaraguan cigar industry and is renowned for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship, quality, and innovation. Today, the brand stands as a symbol of Nicaraguan heritage and is celebrated worldwide for its rich, complex blends and artisanal approach.
