JOYA DE NICARAGUA CIGAR (CLASICO CHURCHILL)

Let us smoke a cigar together. We will be able to do that in every corner of England especially from Taylors Tobacconists in Brighton and Hove.

The first cigar I would like to enjoy with you is an absolute classic: the Joya de Nicaragua (Clasico Churchill). It lights well in all cut variants. The first draws are a pleasure each time anew. The country’s typical peppery note resonates only discreetly in the background. Do you notice how a cool creaminess suddenly sets in after the third puff? If you find it easy to smoke retronasal, you should definitely try this.

In the first third, even a subtle vanilla note is revealed. The second third now shows the complex sweetness that is hidden in this cigar. Draw gently so that the long Churchill stays nice and cool in your hand. Smoked like this, you will discover the mild-creamy heart inherent in this cigar gently pulsating.

We have reached the halfway point of the cigar. In addition to the creaminess and sweetness, citrus notes and cedar now join. Notice how the citrus notes first become apparent in the background at the beginning of the second half and then gradually push to the fore.

In the third, the cigar reveals its Nicaraguan soul and imparts slightly stronger pepper tones. And no sooner do you realise how complex this classic actually is, a subtle bitterness joins the flavour profile.

All at once the citrus note disappears. The final flare releases some mint and a few meadow herbs. But ultimately, the bitterness of dark chocolate wins, and it is just like William Shakespeare once wrote: “ Parting is such sweet sorrow” .
