Cigars from Nestor Miranda, Joya de Nicaragua, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust and Foundation

I ended up smoking some pretty great cigars over the last few days!  I started off with the Nestor Miranda Grand Reserve 2024. I have memory of smoking the 2011 and 2012 versions, which were the only other two previously released. The 2024 was released in celebration of Miami Cigar and Company’s 35th anniversary. … Continue reading »

Kristoff, Joya de Nicaragua, and Illusione Cigars

This week I smoked a bunch of cigars that I picked up at various shops in my area.  I’m fortunate, I guess, to live in an area with an abundance of cigars shops, and one of them (a chain, actually, with about five shops within a ten mile radius of my home) is a TAA member.  Every now and then I stop in one of he shops to find something new and interesting, sometimes I find both, sometimes neither! … Continue reading »

News: Joya de Nicaragua Presents Cinco De Cinco

I guess one of the things I’ll miss about not going to the PCA show this year is seeing my friends at Joya de Nicaragua.  They are attending there on their own, where in the past they were integrated into the Drew Estate booth.  I always thought they should stand alone, Drew Estate just distributes their cigars in the US.  It’s been one of my most favorite factories since my first visit back in 2011. I’m looking forward to trying this anniversary cigar, the last several they’ve put out have been exceptional!

2023 brings Joya de Nicaragua’s 55th anniversary and to mark the occasion, Nicaragua’s first cigar factory launches Cinco de Cinco, the latest edition to the ultra-premium Obras Maestras line.… Continue reading »
