Joya de Nicaragua Black Nocturno
Rich, well-balanced flavours. Its fatty cap offers aromas of chocolate and warm earth, while the tripe brings a peppery start and woody scents.
The Joya de Nicaragua Black Nocturno offers a rich and profound tasting experience. With its dark, slightly ribbed Mexican wrapper with chocolate highlights and its black and midnight-blue ring, it invites us on an intense sensory journey.
Produced from Nicaraguan tobacco grown in their own fields, then aged and rolled in one of the country's oldest factories, the tripe reflects the passion and quality of the work produced by everyone involved. "From seed to smoke!
Tasting note
Notes
The fat cape offers us its aromas of chocolate and warm earth. For this module, choose a straight cut. Uncooked, the draught is rather tight, but delivers notes similar to those of the cape.
As soon as it is lit, a touch of black pepper accompanies the woody scents and immediately gives an interesting depth to the tasting.
At the end of the first third, the pepper notes fade and give way once again to the initial woody aromas. These aromas evolve relatively little until the finish. At this point, the wine takes on a slightly softer hue, with notes of roasted nuts and nougat.
Despite its rather narrow format, the Nicaragua Black Noturno Joya produced a generous smoke during our 45-minute experience, highlighting its rich, balanced flavours. The burn is excellent and uniform, with a slightly fluffy white ash that holds remarkably well.
Pairing
As an aperitif, a rather light red humagne will go well with this cigar. The aromas of burnt wood and pepper present in this type of grape will echo the cigar.
In the afternoon, a double espresso will be the ideal companion.
