Joya de Nicaragua Antano Connecticut Cigars

Joya de Nicaragua’s Antaño brand will now be offered in Connecticut. But don't be fooled by the use of a Connecticut wrapper, these cigars still utilizes fuller tobaccos for both the binder and fillers. Antaño is known for its strength, something that is generally seen as the opposite of a lighter Connecticut shade-wrapped cigar, though Joya de Nicaragua describes this blend as medium-full. It uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. The cigar delivers rich tobacco flavors, while slightly taming down the nicaraguan tobaccos compared to the Original Antaño.

Covered in a golden-hued wrapper leaf grown in Ecuador, Joya de Nicaragua Antano Connecticut is not your usual Connecticut Shade cigar. Medium to full-bodied and quite robust, this blend employs a solid combination of skillfully-aged Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, delivering notes of roasted almonds, white pepper, and cedar wood. This Nicaraguan-rolled treat is significantly bolder than most Connecticut-wrapped cigars. 

The newest member of the Joyo de Nicaragua portfolio wears a silky smooth Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, but don’t let the light color fool you - this cigar is all Joyo. The Nicaraguan filler & binder work with the wrapper to create a medium-full bodied powerhouse of a profile. It’s rare to see a Connecticut shade wrapper exhibit this much body & flavor, but the minds at JdN refused to compromise until they got the blend exactly how they wanted it. Lighting up, you’ll be greeted to an intensely peppery, rich profile with notes of toast, cedar, and leather, and you’ll be hooked before you even make it halfway. It’s not long before this release is showered with accolades and becomes a bit scarce, so don’t hesitate to try this game-changing Connecticut.

Good news! Joya de Nicaragua Antano Connecticut has received an impressive 93-point rating, noting: “Rolled in a clean wrapper with an oily gleam, this robusto shows a lively, sweet-and-spicy interplay of graham cracker, red and black pepper and some boozy, rum barrel notes. A touch of dark chocolate appears on the palate as well. The draw and burn remain even.”
