Originally gifted exclusively to world leaders by Nicaraguan ambassadors on official missions, Joya de Nicaragua’s Número Uno became a favorite of cigar enthusiasts since it was first smoked as an event-exclusive cigar in the United States in 2018.
Número Uno has received numerous accolades, becoming Halfwheel’s Top Cigar of 2018; it was rated the Best Cigar of 2019 by Cigar Dojo, and it became the No. 6 cigar in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list for 2020 with a 95-point rating. Stogie Press rated it a solid 97.
To commemorate the five years since this exceptional cigar was enjoyed by cigar lovers, we are delighted to announce the “Joya de Nicaragua Número Uno Deluxe Humidor”. This stylish and elegant blue-masterpiece humidor highlights the attributes of Número Uno, adorned by the unique “Obras Maestras” badge and the iconic JDN tobacco leaves. This humidor includes 150 Número Uno Cigars (75 L’Ambassadeur 6 ⅝ x 44 and 75 Le Premier 6 ⅞ x 48). It is a collector’s piece, with only 400 units produced, 300 for the United States and 100 for the rest of the world. This is an exclusive one-time release.
This 150 cigar capacity humidor was first previewed at the Tobacco Plus Expo (TPE) in Las Vegas on February 2023. It will be available for ordering in the first weeks of June 2023. The MSRP for the “NÚMERO UNO DELUXE HUMIDOR” is $2,850 and will ship to stores July 2023.
Número Uno is part of Joya de Nicaragua’s “Obras Maestras” line; the designation for our ultra-premium family of cigars. The highly acclaimed Número Uno cigar has mostly been available in two sizes: L’Ambassadeur (6 ⅝ x 44, Lancero) and Le Premier (6 ⅞ x 48, Churchill). It features a smooth, Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos to create a mellow to medium- bodied and flavorful smoking experience with lots of rich creaminess.
Stogie Press Noted:
“The Joya De Nicaruagua Número Uno was a spectacular cigar which I can understand why it was given to world leaders by Nicaraguan ambassadors. It started with an intriguing pre-light set of aromas and flavors and once the flame was set to the foot it only got better with swirling and shifting aromas and flavors that took you on a journey that only the best can do. Considering this was a Connecticut shade, there was no discernible bitterness at all. There was even a core of sweetness that added to the pleasure in various stages of the burn.“
Cigar Aficionado’s Número Uno L’Ambassadeur Review in 2020.
“The draw here is impeccable, imparting a creamy, toasty smoke that speaks softly of vanilla, almonds and cinnamon. No flavor is competing for dominance on the palate. Rather, each note dances delicately like a well-choreographed ballet suite.” Cigar Aficionado’s Número Uno L’Ambassadeur Review in 2020.
This JDN Número Uno Deluxe Humidor was created for our amigos, the real cigar connoisseurs. This is the piece that every Joya de Nicaragua lover should have in their sacred space. This humidor will become the crowning jewel in any cigar collection. It is a beautiful and functional piece that will show off your authentic love of cigars.”
