Video review HERE.
Número Uno was originally blended for World Leaders. Handed out by Nicaraguan ambassadors on official missions around the world. We are now releasing it nationwide as part of Obras Maestras, the designation of our ultra-premium family of cigars.
“Número Uno was developed as a unique gift and later an event-exclusive cigar, and although it wasn’t the original intention, we decided to make Número Uno available to a bigger audience. However it will remain as something exclusive, as production will be limited to 1,500 boxes a year for the global market and will be available only in selected retailers around the globe”, said Dr. Alejandro Martínez Cuenca, Chairman of Joya de Nicaragua.
This blend comes in only one vitola, L’Ambassadeur, a parejo 6 5/8 x 44 tailed lonsdale. In the United States, it will be available only at DDRP brick and mortar stores, in 25 count boxes, with an MSRP of $15.00 per stick. Número Uno uses a silky and delicate Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers.

The cigar has an obvious Connecticut wrapper. It is well made and has a nice feel in the hand.
The cap is finished in a pigtail.
The test draw was a little tight after cutting just beyond the pigtail cap so I used my PerfecDraw tool to improve the draw. The initial flavors at light up were a candy-like pink grapefruit, lots of cinnamon, some brown sugar, quite a bit of cream, and an underlying earthy nutmeg/coffee flavor. There was an average amount of black pepper rated at 7.
