Review by Puroexpress:
The Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco Corona Extra is a celebratory cigar, marking the esteemed manufacturer’s 55 years of exceptional cigar production. This box-pressed toro is elegantly cloaked in an inky Mexican wrapper, lending it a robust and captivating appearance.
From the onset, this cigar makes a profound statement. The first draws introduce a potent mix of oak and leather, establishing a rich, masculine base that sets the stage for a complex smoking journey. The introduction of toffee and coffee bean notes adds a delightful contrast, balancing the initial robustness with a smoother, sweeter tone.
As the cigar progresses, a spicy undertow of red pepper emerges, seamlessly integrating with the existing flavors to enhance the depth of the smoke. This spice is not overwhelming but serves to elevate the sensory experience, adding a dynamic layer that intrigues the palate. Cocoa powder notes soon follow, enriching the flavor profile with a subtle bitterness that complements the inherent sweetness of the toffee and coffee.
The construction of the Cinco de Cinco is impeccable, with a tight roll that ensures an even burn and a consistent draw. This technical excellence allows each nuanced flavor to be fully appreciated without distraction, from the robust start to the complex finish.
Speaking of the finish, the Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco ends on a high note with a lingering spicy kick that remains palatable and inviting, coaxing the smoker into savoring every last puff. The culmination of flavors from oak to cocoa creates a full-bodied and memorable experience that reflects Joya de Nicaragua’s dedication to crafting premium cigars.
The Cinco de Cinco is more than a cigar; it is a celebration of craftsmanship and heritage, making it a perfect choice for aficionados looking to commemorate a special occasion or simply enjoy a masterfully blended smoke.
