Joya de Nicaragua Silver Robusto

Joya Silver represents the next chapter in Joya de Nicaragua’s modern evolution — a cigar designed for those who want more intensity, more complexity and a broader flavour spectrum, while still retaining the soul of Nicaraguan cigar-making. Created to commemorate the brand’s 50th anniversary, Joya Silver marks a confident step beyond an all-Nicaraguan blend, introducing complementary tobaccos to meet the tastes of today’s discerning smokers.

The Robusto features a rich Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, paired with a Mexican San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan fillers. This carefully balanced combination brings together refined sweetness, earthy depth and vibrant spice in a medium-bodied profile that shines with character. Presented in a box-pressed format, the cigar offers a controlled draw and a steady, even burn, allowing the blend to express itself fully.

From the first light, the Joya Silver Robusto delivers bold notes of earth and cocoa, quickly joined by roasted coffee and dark chocolate. As the cigar develops, darker fruit notes — including cherry — emerge, adding richness and contrast. Fresh spice lifts the profile, while a subtle crème brûlée sweetness smooths the edges and ties the flavours together elegantly.

The oscuro upper-priming wrapper plays a key role in this dynamic complexity, perfectly complementing the robustness of the Nicaraguan fillers with the refined sweetness of Ecuador-grown leaf. Intense yet polished, the smoke remains engaging and well-balanced from start to finish.

With a strength rating of 3/5, the Joya Silver Robusto sits comfortably between Joya Red and Joya Black, making it an ideal choice for smokers looking to explore deeper flavours without venturing into full-bodied territory. Its quality and appeal were recognised with a 93-point rating and a Top 25 ranking by Cigar Aficionado in 2021 — a testament to its craftsmanship and balance.

Confident, expressive and unmistakably modern, the Joya Silver Robusto is a cigar that truly lives up to its name.
