Joya de Nicaragua was a part of the Drew Estate booth at the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. Joya de Nicaragua had been operating in a separate booth for the past two years. At the same time, whenever Drew Estate was at a Trade Show, Joya was also a part of the booth, regardless of whether they had a separate booth. For 2025, Joya de Nicaragua introduced a new size in the Antaño CT line, its Go-Pack series, and some packaging changes.
Antano CT Gran Cónsul
The Antaño CT gets a sixth size with the 4 3/4 x 60 Gran Cónsul size. It’s a short, stocky, bullet-shaped cigar. This size has appeared in the other three lines under Joya’s Antaño brand. Gran Cónsul will be available to Club de Amigos retailers, Joya de Nicaragua’s preferred retail arm. The cigars will be in 20-count boxes. Pricing comes in at $11.00 SRP per cigar.
Obras Maestro Packaging Changes
Regarding packaging changes, two lines under the Obras Maestro brand see changes. First, the Numero Uno line moves from 25-count boxes down to 13-count boxes. In addition, each of the cigars is now housed in individual slots. The L’Ambassadeur (SRP $19.50/cigar) and Le Premier (SRP $20.50/cigar) will see the 13-count boxes.
The Cuatro Cinco Reserva Especial remains in ten-count boxes, but the design has changed. The most notable changes are individual slots to house the cigars and a white-colored interior vista. The new design will be seen on the four sizes of its Toro (SRP $15.20/cigar), Torpedo (SRP $16.20/cigar), Doble Robusto (SRP $14.20/cigar), and Petit Corona (SRP $10.50/cigar).
