Joya de Nicaragua

Founded in 1968 by Simón Camacho and Juan Francisco Bermejo, the factory was originally named the “Nicaragua Cigar Company”. As one of the very first companies to process tobacco, it weathered the Sandinista revolution and the civil war, during which its premises were set alight and bombs were dropped on its roof.

Once the revolution was over and reconstruction complete, the company returned to private ownership and a new era began.

Under the influence of Dr Cuenca (and now his son), the company regained its footing and earned its current reputation by supplying a wide range of hand-rolled cigars that delight even the most seasoned connoisseurs.
