New WorldAficionadosJoya de Nicaragua Cinco Décadas Diadema
A double-tapered figurado from Joya's 50th-anniversary line, honoring the first size the factory ever rolled. A 6 x 54 all-Nicaraguan puro.
The Diadema is one of the two original Cinco Décadas releases from 2018, and it carries special meaning: the diadema was the very first size rolled at the Joya de Nicaragua factory when it opened. This double-tapered figurado (6 x 54) is an all-Nicaraguan puro made from the company's top tobacco.
What it tastes like
The tapered shape concentrates the smoke and makes the draw evolve as you go: cedar, cocoa, gentle pepper, a creamy mid-palate, and oak through the finish. It's a graceful, well-mannered Medium-Full smoke that showcases craft over brute strength. As with the rest of the line, Joya doesn't publish the exact blend beyond confirming it's a Nicaraguan puro.
Who it's for
A treat for aficionados who appreciate a classic figurado and a bit of brand history. Figurados can be finicky to cut, so our how to cut a cigar guide is worth a glance before you light up.
Like the rest of Joya's catalog, it's a strong entry in the Cuban vs Nicaraguan cigars conversation. Pair it with coffee or aged rum, and log your tasting notes in the Casa DNC app at casadnc.com alongside the other Cinco Décadas El General.
