About:
The Joya de Nicaragua cigar company has been in Estelí, Nicaragua since 1968. The company is owned by Dr. Alejandro Martinez Cuenca, and is imported and distributed exclusively in theUnited Statesby Drew Estate.

Prior to the release of the Cabinetta line, Joya de Nicaragua was probably best known for their Antaño cigars, which are very full-bodied and flavored. Check out their website for more information: http://www.joyadenicaragua.com.ni/

These cigars were actually sent out for the annual Herf hosted by Doc of the Stogie Fresh 5 Podcast. I work with Doc each year to secure sponsorship for his Herf, and I am pleased to report that Jonathan Drew really stepped up and supported the event! In the future, I will be smoking other cigars that were donated to Doc’s 5th Annual Central Coast Herf, and will be sure to identify them as such so that you can show them your support!

I agree... Plus I've always been drawn to cigars that have multiple wrappers like that.

I listened to this when it went up... great review and I like how the podcast is evolving.

I had the cigar myself one day, hanging out at the local lake and what I first thought was that this was not like the antaño, it was smooth and flavorful
is all I remember now. Now that Jose Blanco is over there, I wonder what lines will come out of the factory. Cigars like the Cabinetta or will we see
a Double Antaño...Whoa!

I don't think (and hope that we don't) see something like a Double Antaño. Blanco is a better blender than that, and is brilliant at putting sublte touches and finesse in his blends without resorting to the baseball bat to the face kind of blending we are seeing these days. (Thanks for the props btw! )
