Medio Siglo means half a century. It nods to the Clásico, the cigar that became the White House cigar under Nixon in the 1970s, and to more than 55 years of Nicaraguan cigarmaking at Joya. The blend keeps the Clásico's balance and turns it bolder, built on a Criollo wrapper, the leaf Joya's main brand ran on until the late 1990s. It reached Europe in 2021 and made its U.S. debut at PCA 2024 through Club de Amigos.
