Joya de Nicaragua Fuerte Serie B Robusto Grande

True to its name (fuerte means "strong"), the Joya de Nicaragua Fuerte is one of the brand's boldest offerings. The Serie B Robusto Grande (5.5 x 52) is built on a dark, toothy Nicaraguan-grown Colorado Shade wrapper over an aged mixture of Cuban-seed Criollo long-fillers from the Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa valleys.

What it tastes like

There's a surprising sweetness here, hints of maple syrup and smoked hickory show up even in the prelight aroma, sitting alongside heavy black pepper, earth, and leather once it's lit. It's a flavor-packed, Full-strength cigar that delivers genuine power and plenty of character.

Who it's for

Aimed squarely at aficionados who want a strong, bold Nicaraguan puro. This is not a beginner cigar, so if you're working up to full-bodied smokes, read the cigar strength guide first and smoke it on a full stomach.

As an all-out Nicaraguan powerhouse, it's a perfect reference for the Cuban vs Nicaraguan cigars comparison. Pair it with espresso or a pour of bourbon to stand up to the strength. Track it and rate it in your humidor with the Casa DNC app at casadnc.com.
