Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970 robusto

I'm a cigar newbie. I'm not very good at picking out individual flavors, but i'll take a stab at a review.

Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: You guessed it, Nicaraguan

Construction: Toothy, dark, oily. Very inviting. Nice and firm.

Prelight: Very spicy. A little cedary.

Burn: Started off a little uneven. I attribute that to my lack of experience. It evened itself out quickly.

Draw: Easy with a touch of tightness. Very smooth.

Smoking notes: Very spicy for the first quarter inch or so. After an inch it was very smooth.

Overall impression: I got this one in a sampler. I picked it for the first one because it was really short and I was short on time. I should have done a little more research. This one is not for the faint hearted (read: myself). After the first bit of spiciness, which I enjoyed, it smoothed out. Very rich and smoky. I really wasn't prepared for this one. Someone with an experienced palate would really enjoy this one.
