The famous Joya de Nicaragua 1970 Antaño cigar is not only one of the strongest that I have ever smoked, it also happens to be one of the most refined and complex. This all-Nicaraguan puro, made from the best tobaccos the nation has to offer, features a stunning reddish-brown wrapper that is very thick and oily. Brace yourself; once lit, Antaño unleashes its fury with powerful notes of black pepper, earth, and chocolate, with some spicy sweetness in the background. I suggest that a brave newbie tackle these bad boys on a full stomach; as for me, Joya de Nicaragua Antaño is the perfect nightcap smoke after a busy day of herfing.
