Re: Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Consul

Nice review! This is my personal favorite. I especially like the Gran Consul size. I was really bummed recently because I had been getting these from serious cigars at $4.05 a stick, but the price shot up to $7.25/stick. But, as darkninja pointed out above, I also came across these at Atlantic Cigar and I have an order in for a box of 20 Gran Consul's @ $66.00. With shipping it comes to like $3.57/stick. Hard to beat that IMO!

Heck yeah Atlantic has amazing prices on JdN. I picked up a box of lanceros about a month ago for $60 shipped...can't beat that. Unfortunately they came in sopping wet and basically unsmokable at this point...giving them a few months to dry.

So has anybody tried the Gran Reserva variation and compared it to the original Antano's?

Yea they are still a bit too humid. Dry boxing is a great idea if I can't hold off for a few more months. The box bumped my RH by 4% when I first put it in.

They're not good fresh, but give them a year and they're pretty damned tasty.

Thanks for the nice review and photo's Luke. The Consul is my favorite and a great tasting cigar. Before the SCHIP issue, TNT had these going for $63 (but don't tell Ratters that;)).:dance:

Very nice. The Machitas are affectionately known around here as coffin nails. LOL
