Selección de Torcedor is a new program that Joya de Nicaragua is launching in 2019 in cooperation with their TAA partners.  From 2019 on,
Joya de Nicaragua’s torcedores will select a special blend and size to share with a selected group of retailers around the world. The company notes, ‘this will make it easier for our workers to give our friends around the world a favorite from the factory floor’.

The company plans to use the Selección de Torcedor process as a way to collect information on how well the product is accepted by consumers and test if it is attractive enough to become a year-round offering.

The blend in Selección de Torcedor 2019 is decribed as a very approachable smoke, smooth yet flavorful, and with a selection of tobacco especially conceived as a cigar that reflects the historic ties between Nicaragua and the US.

In today’s press release, Mario Pérez, Joya de Nicaragua’s Factory Manager stated:

“We are very excited that consumers in the US will enjoy Dr. Cuenca’s favorite vitola, along with an additional distinguished selection from the factory. I’m sure they’ll enjoy this 6×52 toro as much as we do in the factory”
