Numero Uno Le Premier

The Joya de Nicaragua Número Uno series is one of the brand’s most historically significant and prestigious lines, originally created as an official diplomatic cigar for the President of Nicaragua and special state occasions.

First introduced in the 1960s as a private reserve cigar for diplomatic use, Número Uno remained exclusive for decades. Today, it is handcrafted at Joya de Nicaragua’s factory in Estelí using carefully selected and extensively aged Nicaraguan tobaccos. The Estelí region is globally recognized for its volcanic soil and ideal climate, producing tobaccos with exceptional structure and complexity.

Número Uno delivers a refined and balanced flavor profile, featuring elegant notes of cedar, cream, toasted nuts, and subtle spice, complemented by natural sweetness and a smooth finish. Medium in strength, the series emphasizes finesse, balance, and complexity, representing a more elegant expression of Nicaraguan tobacco.

The series has received 90+ ratings from the internationally respected publication Cigar Aficionado, reinforcing its position among the finest premium cigars from Nicaragua.

Among cigar enthusiasts worldwide, Número Uno is often regarded as one of the most refined expressions of Nicaraguan tobacco. Smokers frequently praise its smooth construction and balanced complexity, offering a more elegant and nuanced profile compared to the typically bold character associated with Nicaraguan cigars.
