Rediscovering Joya in 2014 Joya de Nicaragua developed Joya Red through collaboration between a younger executive team and experienced factory blenders. The original four-format launch sought a lively, balanced alternative to the factory’s stronger historical reputation. Half Corona later expanded the current roster to five formats, so launch and current lineups should remain distinguishable.
A Claro Nicaraguan Puro
The official recipe lists Nicaraguan H. Criollo claro wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan filler. Joya de Nicaragua places strength at 2.5 out of 5. The company’s launch history further identifies tobacco from Estelí, Jalapa and Condega. Five Current Formats Half Corona measures 3 3/4 x 46, Short Churchill 4 3/4 x 48, Robusto 5 1/4 x 50, Cañonazo 5 1/2 x 54 and Toro 6 x 52. Each format should retain independent construction, availability and evaluation evidence.
