Joya de Nicaragua announces the release of Cuatro Cinco Secret Cask. The 6 x 54 box-pressed cigar ($18.95) features Nicaraguan wrapper, binder, and filler tobaccos, aged in charred oak barrels once used for spirits.
“In 2013, we set aside a few barrels of aging tobacco for a future purpose, in a room that feels almost sacred within our factory,” Juan Ignacio Martínez, Joya de Nicaragua´s executive president, said in a press release. “We began calling it the Secret Cask — a sanctuary where temperature and humidity are carefully regulated, and where time itself becomes an ingredient. These barrels have cradled the finest, most carefully selected leaves, whispering their secrets into the tobacco, deepening its soul, and weaving an unparalleled richness into every note. Now, years later, the Secret Cask is no longer a secret — its treasure is ready to be revealed.”
