Favilli has released a new line of cigars named Ladrillos. Ladrillos, meaning tile in Spanish is a brand which celebrates the artisanal handmade concrete tiles of Mario Favilli. Mario opened his tile factory in 1915 and instantly began adding artistic quality to floors across Latin America. When completing his home in 1925, now the Favilli mansion and Favilli cigar factory, Mario chose his favorite designs to adorn his rooms and walkways. Ladrillos, a 5” x 52 box-press was designed to celebrate those favorite tiles handmade by Mario Favilli. 

Favilli has used the geometric square shape quality of the box-press to bring to life the square tiles, where each cigars ring is different tile design with a blend of colors from the mansions architectural color palette. The first run of the new brand will be released under Favilli’s “Enviro-Pack” program in an artistic six count box. The brand is set to begin shipping in September of this year.

And so the final results are in. The last round of the Cigar Smoking World Championship qualification season was the one in Estonia, and it was a festive one as it was combined with the ten year anniversary of Tallinn Cigar Club. Cigar aficionados from ten different countries had gathered in the Estonian capital to celebrate, some of who also participated in the competition.

The winner was Dimitrijs Smirnovs from the Riga Cigar Club in Latvia at 1 hour 55 minutes and 50 seconds, followed by Vladimir Smirnoff and Magnus Nilsson.

The celebration and qualification took place at the Al Capone restaurant in Tallinn and even rendered an article in the popular gossip magazine Kroonika.

In November 2013, Joya de Nicaragua released Cuatro Cinco Edición Limitada, which commemorated the 45th anniversary of the company. Since its release, Cuatro Cinco has been highly-rated and a fan-favorite cigar in the industry, being awarded Cigar of The Year in the U.K., in the Boisdale Cigar Awards 2016. In the last 9 years, this amazing cigar has been produced in six vitolas (Toro 6 1?4×50, Belicoso 6×54, Torpedo 6×52, Doble Robusto 5×56, Petit Corona 41?4×46 and Belicoso Gordo). 

Since its release, Joya de Nicaragua has launched two regional editions of Cuatro Cinco in places where the brand has deep and strong relationships, Cuatro Cinco Edición Asia for the Asian market in 2020 and Cuatro Cinco Edición Americana for the United States in 2021. 

To continue building on Cuatro Cinco’s legacy, Joya de Nicaragua introduced Cuatro Cinco Edición Europa, a special edition that honors the strong relations that Joya de Nicaragua built with Europe during the most difficult times of its history. 

Cuatro Cinco Edición Europa comes in a 7×52 Doble Corona box- pressed format and is limited to just 500 10-count boxes. This blend features a Nicaraguan Criollo wrapper and selected Grade A filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The finished cigars are aged for at least one year in white oak vintage barrels, which were previously used inside a world-renowned rum distillery. We hope that our European amigos will enjoy the taste of the Joya de Nicaragua experience once again.
