Continuing the celebration of Joya de Nicaragua’s 50th anniversary year, the company will be launching an exclusive cigar for the TAA—whom is celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2018 as well.

Each year, a collection of the industry’s biggest names gathers together for the annual TAA convention. The TAA (Tobacconists’ Association of America) represents a the industry’s most professional, experienced, and educated tobacconists. For 2018, the convention is being held from April 29th to May 3rd, located in Casa de Campo, La Romana in the Dominican Republic.

At the event, many manufacturers (such as Joya de Nicaragua) will unveil unique sizes and/or blends that will be offered solely to TAA-certified retailers. Joya has announced that they will debut the Antaño Gran Reserva Presidente to coincide with the two company’s 50th anniversaries.

When I requested the Gran Reserva blend in the Presidente size, it immediately became my private smoke. This is by far my personal vitola and the one that I request the factory for my daily smokes.
