Joya de Nicaragua introduces Clásico Original Green Room Selection, a tribute to the Clásico’s enduring legacy, and to every Green Room the modern smoker calls his own.
In 1968, the first premium cigar factory in Estelí, Nicaragua opened its doors, founding Joya de Nicaragua and establishing the country as a serious cigar origin. The Joya de Nicaragua Clásico became the first premium cigar produced and exported from Nicaragua, winning the hearts of American cigar lovers through the 1970s and beginning the nation’s ascent to world-class status. During that same era, Joya de Nicaragua was recognized as the foremost representative of New World cigars, offered to guests at The White House’s Green Room, where after formal dinners, politicians and diplomats would gather to
relax, drink, and smoke. It is a moment that has become part of the brand’s history: a cigar from Estelí earning its place on one of the most notable stages in the world. But the meaning of the Green Room has long since traveled beyond Washington.
Presented in one of the oldest formats hand-rolled at the Estelí factory since 1968, the 6×54 Diadema features an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over carefully aged Nicaraguan binder and fillers. Clásico Original Green Room Selection will be released in twenty count boxes with an MSRP of $13.50 per cigar and $270 per box. A total of 1,200 boxes will be produced, with 700 allocated to the U.S. and 500 to international markets.
The cigar will debut in New Orleans at the PCA Convention & Trade Show in April 2026 with shipments to retailers scheduled shortly after the show.
