Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco Corona Extra

The Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco was created to celebrate a remarkable milestone – 55 years of continuous cigar production by Nicaragua’s oldest operating cigar factory. More than a commemorative release, it stands as a tribute to the people, friendships and shared passion that have shaped Joya de Nicaragua’s journey for over five decades.

Seeking boldness and brilliance, Joya’s master blenders revisited hundreds of blending records developed during private factory sessions with consumers and visiting aficionados. Through careful tabulation and collaboration, one blend rose above the rest – a recipe described as “perfect scoring” in both profile and complexity. Inspired by amigos, blended by maestros, and crafted for those in the know, Cinco de Cinco embodies the heart of the brand.

The Corona Extra is presented in a soft-pressed format and built around an ultra-prime vintage Mexican San Andrés wrapper, prized for its richness and depth. This dark, expressive leaf encases Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, delivering a medium to full-bodied smoking experience with exceptional balance and refinement.

From the first light, the cigar reveals deep, earthy flavours layered with notes of cocoa and dark chocolate. As it develops, subtle creaminess and warming spice emerge, adding dimension without overpowering the core profile. The smoke remains harmonious and engaging throughout, evolving naturally while maintaining a confident, composed character.

With its strength rated at 4/5 and a flavour profile that leans rich yet controlled, the Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco Corona Extra is a cigar designed for experienced smokers who appreciate depth, structure and story in equal measure. A fitting tribute to Joya’s past, and a confident statement of where the brand continues to go.
