Joya de Nicaragua Black Robusto

The Joya Black Robusto showcases the bold, modern character of the Joya Black series in a compact and expressive format. Wrapped in a dark, oily Mexican leaf and filled with rich Nicaraguan tobaccos, this cigar delivers a fuller flavour profile while maintaining a medium-bodied strength – ideal for smokers seeking intensity without excess.

Visually striking, the near-black wrapper is complemented by Joya’s contemporary black and blue band, signalling a departure from tradition while staying true to the brand’s core identity. Construction is firm and well-made, promising an even burn and a steady draw.

Aromas from the wrapper reveal earth, leather and aged wood, while the cold draw introduces sweeter elements such as fig and cocoa, alongside a subtle savoury note. Once lit, the Robusto opens with bold spice, quickly joined by sweet fruit, cocoa and hints of aged wood and pepper. As the cigar progresses, a warm, nutty character emerges, lending depth and balance to the profile.

Through the middle portion, the cigar settles into a steady rhythm of spice, gentle sweetness and woody undertones. Toward the finish, pepper becomes more prominent, while notes of caramel linger on the palate, rounding out the experience with warmth and richness.

Modern in spirit and confident in flavour, the Joya Black Robusto is a rewarding, character-driven cigar – a natural choice for those who appreciate contemporary blends with classic Nicaraguan soul.
