The oldest brand still producing master cigars in Nicaragua, Joya de Nicaragua has been racking out elite cigars since 1968. Having survived such a historical timeline of events has only made the brand grow stronger and thus set them apart from other major brands. After being resurrected in 1994 by Dr. Alejandro Ernesto Martinez Cuenca, the life started flowing through the heart of the brand once again. Creating some of the best Nico puros money can buy; the brand has now been distributed in the U.S. by cigar titan Drew Estate.
