    Tl;DR: A well packed petite corona-esque firecracker packed with spice, oak, and chocolate. Construction of the Machito is very well done (sorry no pics)- the wrapper was not veiny and the cigar was well packed. The wrapper was cocoa brown in hue and a little bit of textured. This stick showed...

    I smoked one of these when I was a cigar newbie and barely survived, it was that strong. I have learned to never smoke a muscle cigar untill it has... Read the full review here: Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Gran Consul Cigar Review - A Strong, Sweet Cigar

    I was really excited to try this cigar after hearing all the good reviews. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. I'll start with the good first: The construction was great, and the burn required few touch-ups. The draw was also great, and the cigar produced an above-average amount of smoke...
  5. Cigar Questions
    Anyone try all or most sizes in the Antano line -- both the DARK COROJO and the 1970 ANTANO? Looking for recommendations or favorite sizes in each line. In dark corojo, was considering the pesadilla and in the 1970 the Gran Consul (the thick 4.75x60) but wanted some opinions on these chunky...

    Have about 10 of the Consul and like them. Spice bomb the whole way. Was wondering how the others sizes compare. Do they mellow out at all in the other sizes? More or less flavors? Anyone know if there is a sample box with the various sizes? Looked at a few sites and didn't see one but that...

    I had surgery about 2 weeks ago and haven’t been able to smoke since then until tonight, so I wanted to light up something special to celebrate the fact that I’m feeling better (and didn’t kick the bucket on the operating table! – relatively minor surgery, but I was scared to death of being put...

    My first photo review for puff.com! This afternoon and evening I braved the elements to smoke a JdN 1970 Gran Consul. It is a beautiful short torpedo, 4.7x60. The stick had rested for a couple weeks in 65% rh. The short, thick stick had a sweet earthy smell from the foot, and I lit before...

    Alright guys, this is my first review so bear with me. It's been a brisk 30 something in the afternoon here in Seoul, so I've kept my smoking to about a stick every 7 to 10 days or so. Today was an especially stressful day with the lunar new year traffic and the payday rush on base (let's see...

    This cigar reminded me a lot of the regular antano line, which I really enjoy. It did have a little sweeter taste with some coco hints. Unlike th... Read the full review here: Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo Azarosa Cigar Review - Packs a punch

    Picked up some of these last week at a great price and sparked one up tonight. This is one tasty stick. A very nice spicy-chocolaty combo kick with some pepper thrown at you here and there. I'm really liking it since there's a ton going on here with plentiful flavors but isn't just crazy...

    Ran out of my JDN Antano Churchills (nice cigar for the $$). Anyhow was about to order another box but was thinking about doing the Belicoso's instead this time. Good decision of not? Also, are the Belicoso's cello wrapped? The Churchills aren't. Doesn't matter to me, just wondering.

    Okay. You guys are probably tired of these ROTT Joya de Nicaragua reviews, but I have one more for today. The weather is just too nice and I won't have more time until next weekend, which is a holiday weekend and all the chaos that comes with it. After feeling let down with the...

    With the Antano Dark Corojo el Martillo still fresh in mind mind I couldn't resist having another JdN this evening. On a recent purchase I picked up a five pack of the Antano 1970 Consul. It is a 4.5x52, perfect for about an hour of smoking pleasure. These were delivered just two days ago, so...

    As a newbie I have been branching out from a lot of the low cost bundles and dipping my toes in some of the better sticks. One of the brands that I was recently introduced to was Joya de Nicaragua. In the coming weeks I hope to review just about all of the JdNs I can get my hands on. Up until...

    Never had these before and decided to torch up a Church about 45 minutes ago. Not bad! Kind of a chocolaty-spicy taste, probably a little above medium bodied and quite different. Very thick, tasty and chewy smoke that's going well with my brandy. The first half canoed a bit but not that...
