Joya de Nicaragua Black Nocturno

Joya de Nicaragua is the oldest operating cigar factory in Nicaragua, with a history that predates Estelí’s modern cigar boom and bears the physical marks of the country’s turbulent past. From weathering the Sandinista era to evolving into a globally respected name, Joya’s story is one of resilience, craftsmanship and constant refinement. The Joya Black series represents a bold step forward for the brand — modern in look, richer in flavour and confident in attitude.

The Joya Black Nocturno is particularly significant as it marks the first time Joya de Nicaragua used a Mexican wrapper. This dark, expressive leaf is paired with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, creating a blend that is both contemporary and unmistakably Nicaraguan at heart. Medium-bodied yet full in flavour, it was designed for smokers who want depth and character without overwhelming strength.

On the palate, the Nocturno opens with notes of black cherry and cocoa, setting a rich and slightly sweet foundation. As the cigar develops, these flavours give way to leather and soft nougat, creating a smooth, layered profile that remains engaging throughout. The slimmer ring gauge enhances the wrapper’s influence, delivering a focused and refined smoking experience.

With its modern black-and-blue band and clean presentation, the Joya Black Nocturno reflects the brand’s evolution while staying rooted in tradition. A balanced, complex cigar that rewards attention, it is an excellent choice for those looking to explore modern Nicaraguan blends with a touch of Mexican richness.
