Joya de Nicaragua participated in PCA 2025, showcasing its legacy as the oldest premium cigar brand from Nicaragua. This year introduced one new cigar, the Antaño CT Gran Cónsul, alongside updated Go-Packs and new packaging for existing lines. Notably, the company continues to maintain its robust presence and commitment to quality in the cigar industry.
At the PCA Convention & Trade Show, Joya de Nicaragua showcased its status as the oldest commercial premium cigar brand from Nicaragua. The engaging staff and the dynamic conversations with President Juan Ignacio Martínez contribute to a delightful experience. However, this year, the company’s booth was situated within a significant Drew Estate space, making it easy to overlook without prior knowledge of its location.
This year, Joya de Nicaragua presented several updates, particularly in packaging, yet introduced only one new cigar. The new addition is the Antaño CT Gran Cónsul, which features the blend that secured halfwheel’s 2019 Cigar of the Year title. Available exclusively through retailers participating in the Club de Amigos of JDN program, it boasts an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and fillers.
Furthermore, the Joya de Nicaragua Go-Packs provide a selection of sampler packs, with each containing five 6 x 50 toro cigars from specific brands. While a Cuatro Cinco version is not currently available, its future release is anticipated. Notably, the Rosalones Line Go-Pack will solely be offered outside the U.S. market.
In addition to the Go-Packs, the Cuatro Cinco Reserva Especial and Número Uno lines will receive new packaging. The Cuatro Cinco Reserva Especial will feature wooden separators like those in the Cinco Décadas, while the Número Uno will switch to 13-count boxes globally, enhancing its presentation and accessibility without modifying the blend or pricing.
In summary, Joya de Nicaragua continues to maintain its esteemed legacy at PCA 2025 by introducing novel offerings like the Antaño CT Gran Cónsul while updating existing lines with refined packaging. The company balances innovation with tradition, inviting cigar aficionados to explore its updated ranges, signifying its enduring commitment to quality and craftsmanship in the premium cigar market.
