Joya de Nicaragua Cuatro Cinco Doble Maduro Doble Robusto

The Cuatro Cinco Doble Maduro is the bigger, bolder companion to the original Cuatro Cinco, both born from Joya de Nicaragua's 45th-anniversary project. This Doble Robusto (5 x 56) wraps specially aged Nicaraguan filler and a Dominican binder in a dark Nicaraguan Habano wrapper.

What it tastes like

Deep and brooding: leather, earth, dark chocolate, black pepper, and espresso, with the rum-barrel-aged tobacco lending a subtle sweetness beneath the power. The thick 56 ring gauge gives you a cool, smoke-filled draw. This one is firmly Full, a step up in intensity from the Reserva Especial.

Who it's for

Aimed at aficionados who want a dark, powerful, late-night cigar with depth. The short-but-thick format keeps it concentrated. If you're not yet smoking full-bodied cigars regularly, our cigar strength guide will set expectations.

That dark wrapper makes maduro vs Connecticut a natural read, and the all-out Nicaraguan character fits the Cuban vs Nicaraguan cigars comparison. Pair it with aged rum or espresso. Keep it humidor-fresh and rate it in the Casa DNC app at casadnc.com.
