Joya de Nicaragua Releasing Humidor Packed With Número Uno Cigars
It’s been half a decade since the release of the Joya de Nicaragua Número Uno line, and to honor the five-year anniversary, Joya has created the Número Uno Deluxe Humidor, stocked with 150 Número Uno cigars. It will ship to retailers next month.
The limited-edition humidor has an air of elegance with its glossy blue lacquer finish, reminiscent of the brand’s cigar box design, along with gold trim and a decorative border of Joya de Nicaragua’s tobacco leaf logos. The humidor holds 150 cigars: 75 Le Premiers, a Churchill that measures 6 7/8 inches by 48 ring gauge, and 75 of the L’Ambassadeur, a lonsdale-size smoke (6 5/8 by 44) that was also named Cigar Aficionado’s No. 6 cigar of 2020. The suggested retail price for the fully-stocked humidor is $2,850.
Each cigar is topped with a pigtail cap and made in Nicaragua with mostly Nicaraguan tobacco, save for the light, Ecuadoran Connecticut wrapper.
Joya de Nicaragua has been growing tobacco and producing cigars in Nicaragua since 1968, making it the country’s oldest producer of premium cigars. According to the Número Uno origin story, the cigar brand was originally unavailable commercially, designated specifically as a diplomatic gift for visiting dignitaries. The background story is similar to that of the Cuban Trinidad and Cohiba brands, which also started as diplomatic gifts before they were commercialized.
The Joya de Nicaragua Número Uno Deluxe Humidor will be available as part of a one-time release with just 400 units produced in total, 300 of which are designated for the U.S. while the rest are intended for international markets.
