2022 Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Robusto Grande
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper Color: Dark brown Colorado maduro Wrapper type: Nicaraguan Criollo Filler: Nicaraguan Binder: Nicaraguan Vitola: Robusto Humidimeter Reading: 73% Environment: Temperature: 79 degrees Humidity: 33% Wind: 12mph Special Note: Although dramatically different vitolas, (4.75x60 vs 5.5x52) this is the closest I have ever come to having both a recent production (this review) and a well aged stick (2002 Gran Consul just below) to compare them, which is the only reason I’m reviewing this stick. Will be very interesting, for me at least, lol. Eta: Nearly aborted this due to the Humidimeter reading, but decided to go forward anyway. A 5.5x52 Robusto Grande, Nicaraguan puro, of fine, smooth texture, smooth, long cap, and firm bunch. A slightly uneven burn, short conical coal, flakey, mottled grey ash and perfect draw. Ample smoke volume and a strong, fragrant aroma. Of excellent richness, generous body, full strength and perfect balance of herbal and floral flavors and a medium finish of the same. No sweetness, bitterness, burn on the tongue, sharpness or saltiness. Of outstanding character and overall an outstanding cigar with a final score of 95 out of 100, compared to 84 for the 2002 Gran Consul. Major difference was an increase in every category, especially construction, strength, richness and body. I friggin love cigars I friggin love cigars |
