Joya de Nicaragua Brings Cinco de Cinco Corona Doble to the U.S.

Joya de Nicaragua is expanding one of its most celebrated anniversary blends, and this time, it’s finally landing stateside.

The company has announced that the Cinco de Cinco Corona Doble (7 x 54) — previously a non-U.S. exclusive — will now be available in the American market, giving more smokers access to one of the brand’s most talked-about releases.

Originally introduced in 2023 to celebrate Joya de Nicaragua’s 55th anniversary, Cinco de Cinco wasn’t just another commemorative cigar — it was built from the preferences of cigar smokers themselves.

A Blend Built by the People

To create Cinco de Cinco, Joya de Nicaragua’s master blenders went back through years of data collected during factory tours. By analyzing which tobaccos visitors consistently rated the highest, they developed a blend that reflects what smokers actually love.

The name “Cinco de Cinco” — meaning “Five out of Five” — comes from that concept. Every component of the cigar is based on top-rated selections from enthusiasts who visited the factory.

It’s essentially a crowd-sourced blend built at the factory level, which is a pretty unique story in today’s market.
