Initially provided solely to world leaders by Nicaraguan ambassadors on diplomatic missions, the Joya de Nicaragua Número Uno has actually become preferred by cigar lovers all over since its introduction in the United States in 2019. Número Uno has actually gotten many honors, ending up being Halfwheel’s leading cigar of 2018 and ranked the very best cigar of 2019 by Cigar Dojo, along with being the No. 6 cigar in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list for 2020 with a 95-point score.
Número Uno has become part of Joya de Nicaragua’s Obras Maestras line. The well-known Número Uno cigar has become readily available in 2 sizes: L’Ambassadeur (6 5/8 x 44, Lancero) and Le Premier (6 7/8 x 48, Churchill), though Joya de Nicaragua made the Número Uno L’Attaché (5 1/2 x 42, Corona) solely for an occasion at Chicago’s Up Down Cigar.
“The last three years have been an amazing journey for Número Uno. When we were thinking what was next for this cigar, we remembered the beautiful smoke experience that this vitola provided and the decision to relaunch it was made” says Daniel Barrios, Joya de Nicaragua’s Global Commercial Manager.
Evaluating Número Uno L’Attaché for Halfwheel in 2020, Brooks Whittington composed,“I had just one question going into this review, will this new vitola taste as good—or really, anywhere close to as good—as the original? Having smoked three of them, the answer is yes…”
The very first release for members of Club de Amigos, a special neighborhood developed for Joya de Nicaragua’s leading sellers, to increase their understanding about Joya de Nicaragua and its cigars, and to reward their commitment with special advantages, Número Uno L’Attache is now readily available.
“We have no words to describe the pride that Número Uno has given to Joya de Nicaragua. It feels like this cigar marked a new chapter in our history. Número Uno L’Attaché is the vitola that every cigar aficionado should be smoking this year.” adds Juan Ignacio Martinez, Executive President of Joya de Nicaragua.
According to Cigars International, “Along with earning the #6 rank on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2020, Joya de Nicaragua Número Uno was also awarded a 95-rating noting, “A blond, thin cigar topped with a pigtail cap. Its lush draw delivers plenty of creamy, toasty smoke with undertones of cinnamon, vanilla and almonds. Balanced and elegant with a luxurious texture on the palate.”
