News: Joya de Nicaragua Launches TAA Retailer Exclusive Cuatro Cinco Edición Americana

I got behind on some news items this week , so I’m going to post a few on this rainy Saturday. This is one from Joya. This is one of my favorite blends from them. Typically TAA exclusives aren’t all that exciting to me, but this one has potential. I’m to understand that only 5000 cigars are being made available in this release. I’m going to have to get my hands on a few.  

Since its founding in 1968 as the first premium cigar company in Nicaragua, Joya de Nicaragua has enjoyed strong ties with American cigar lovers and their retailers.

News: Joya de Nicaragua to Celebrate Central America’s Bicentennial with Limited Edition Cigar: Dos Cientos

I’m being lazy tonight and posting a news item. I spent the evening as a guest on the Smokin’ Tabacco show with Matt Tabacco and Jon Carney. I think I didn’t make a huge fool of myself, so if you didn’t watch live, check it out on YouTube or listen to the podcast (like I do). I feel compelled to share news from the folks at Joya de Nicaragua, as it’s one of my favorite companies.  They always make great cigars and my two visits to their factory have been some of my favorite times. I can’t believe it’s been nearly eight years since my last visit! … Continue reading »
