Cuatro Cinco has been especially crafted to commemorate four and half decades of history of Joya de Nicaragua, its people and the city of Estelí, where it all started. Cuatro Cinco is an authentic Nicaraguan puro, hand rolled in Estelí with tobaccos grown in the region and in Jalapa, with a special 5 year-old ligero that the factory had been saving in its bodegas for this special occasion. As if time wasn’t enough, the filler tobaccos have been specially aged in oak barrels for more than a year to give them distinctive and sophisticated notes, and the silky smooth wrapper and binder are Nicaraguan grown in the Jalapa valley.
My first impression came from picking up the cigar. Large. However, this cigar was very soft to the touch. The Jalapa wrapper was very smooth, satin, and pliable, and the entire cigar was soft. It easily compressed under 2 fingers. All of the perfectly rolled leaves felt soft., not like some drum sticks I've felt before.
Big ring, big smoke. And very big and creamy smoke. It didn't have the full flavors of other JDNs I smoke, but the smoke, the smoke was excellent. The price point is a bit high, but when you smoke a cigar of this caliber, you kinda ignore that. They are limited and I think i'll get a few more for smoking at a later date.
