Experience the Joya Black Toro
Our staff has consistently found the Joya Black Toro to be one of the most satisfying and approachable maduros in the Joya Black series. Handrolled in Nicaragua at the Plasencia factory, the Nicaraguan Corojo maduro wrapper delivers profound richness and subtle sweetness on the cold draw, backed by a Nicaraguan binder and aged Nicaraguan long-fillers. When smoked, the first third opens boldly with dark chocolate, roasted espresso, black pepper, and sweet leather, creating a full-bodied introduction with creamy texture and voluminous smoke. By the second third, the profile transitions masterfully, intensifying the espresso and chocolate while adding toasted nuts, caramelized oak, and refined earthy sweetness while the burn remains cool and even. In the final third, it finishes strong with concentrated sweet dark chocolate, lingering coffee roast, and smooth spice, burning steadily to a solid nub with firm ash hold and no harshness. A perfect showcase of Nicaraguan puro excellence in a versatile toro format.
