Every year like clockwork the top retailers in the USA that make up the TAA (Tobacconist Association of America) get together with the top manufacturers for a yearly retreat. One of the perks for cigar smokers is the release of special limited edition cigars just for this group.

The Cuatro Cinco comes Joya de Nicaragua which is the oldest operating cigar factory in the Central American country.

It’s a 6 x 54 box-pressed torpedo that uses a criollo wrapper from Jalapa, Nicaragua over a Dominican binder and fillers from Nicaragua. The cigars are rolled and then aged for a year within spent white oak barrels.

This balanced yet complex full bodied blend offers a rustic profile with notes of leather, earth and spice. It's classic Joya de Nicaragua and should not be missed!
