JOYA DE NICARAGUA 

50 years ago, Joya de Nicaragua pioneered an industry by crafting the first cigars to ever come out of Nicaragua. Today, they are thriving like never before, thanks to their skilful and resilient people. For JDN, quality is not an obligation, it is their highest commitment.

NUMERO UNO

Número Uno was originally blended for World Leaders. Handed by Nicaraguan ambassadors on official missions around the world. In 2018, we gifted some to media and special audiences and got our highest rating in 50 years. We are now officially releasing it as part of Obras Maestras, the designation of our ultra-premium family of cigars.

Tasting Notes

This ‘masterpiece’ cigar provides medium body and strength, in a smoke that is refined, complex and elegant. Creaminess complemented with light pepper notes, making it a top-ranked, exclusive, diplomat lifestyle experience. Literally.

#6 Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of 2020 

"Although it’s certainly easy to make a mild cigar, it’s difficult to make a mild smoke that’s actually interesting and flavorful. Joya De Nicaragua, Nicaragua’s oldest producer of premium cigars, has accomplished this blending feat with its Número Uno L’Ambassadeur, a light cigar of both character and understatement..."

This Joya perfectly captures the bold, earthy character that Nicaraguan cigars are known for. As someone still learning the nuances of cigar profiles, I’ve found Joya to be one of the most consistent and rewarding brands to explore. Every cigar in their range feels thoughtfully made, with reliable construction and a clear sense of identity. The overall flavor profile leans toward rich, full-bodied notes—earth, spice, coffee, and cocoa—balanced by subtle sweetness and depth. Even their lighter offerings, like the Cabinetta, carry a distinct Nicaraguan warmth, while blends such as the Red, Black, and Antaño showcase increasing layers of strength and complexity. What stands out most is how each cigar seems to build upon the next, offering a clear path of progression for anyone developing their palate. Draws are typically smooth, the smoke output generous, and the burn performance consistently reliable. Joya cigars invite you to slow down and appreciate the craftsmanship behind every leaf. For me, the brand represents confidence and authenticity—bold flavors without pretense, and quality that never feels inaccessible. Rating: 8/10

No where near worth the money. I?d pay ?15 tops for this. Barely any flavours to discern although there were rare hints of real smooth creaminess which would have made the cigar sublime had they been more consistent. First third was very underwhelming - however it did improve after that. It kept going out really quick. Had to relight around 10 times. Won?t buy again.

This incredibly smooth, creamy cigar is currently my favourite out of the C.Gar range Ive tried so far. Sublime, light to medium strength, burn is dependable & even. So much smoke from this all the way down past the label. I always have a couple in my stock. Not had a bad one yet & I have gone through many over the summer months.

To start its a real eye pleaser, lovely thick creamy smoke from light up.A very pleasurable hour plus smoke, definitely buy a few more for the Humidor.
