Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Consul

tuxpuff · 04-30-2009, 12:46 PM

I had this one sitting around for about 6 months. Good looking cigar. Very firm with a dark oily wrapper. The cap popped off a bit which didn't pose a problem.

First third - Great initial draw with lots of chocolate notes. Very smooth with mild peppery spice which lingers on the tongue...some mild sweetness. The spice drops off a bit and the smoke turns incredibly smooth and sweet...packed with deep tobacco flavors.

Second third - Started have a burn problem which requires a fixup. Still staying very smooth with cocoa flavors. Abundant amounts of smoke. The peppery spice continues to increase.

Last third - Wow. Very powerful. I'm starting to get noticeably dizzy at this point. Strong lingering flavors on the tongue. The smoke is staying very smooth...sweet...and very strong.

Overall an impressive smoke. Quite complex with a very smooth profile. Sure to please if you are looking for something to really kick your butt!

Nice review and loved the pictures. I have heard that these are a very good cigar. I will have to look at buying a few.

I'm going to have to go get some JdN's. I keep reaing good things about them.

Good review.

Great stick....I like the whole line...They do have a "kick".....We had some nice weather in early December....in the 60's....so I decided to put up some xmas decorations and fire up a "Gran Consul", 5 x 60 I think....Anyway, I'm up on the extension ladder hanging a wreath when the "nic buzz" hit....I told my son to get outta the way....dropped the stogie and waited for my head to clear....luckily the only tragedy was a semi-wasted stick..Note to self: Only smoke at "ground level"

haha you have to be careful with these! I have a couple of belicosos (I think)...they are enormous and I'm seriously intimidated

Great cigar. The joya line seems to have a unique taste that I like. Definitely need to smoke this one slowly and relax.

Great review on an awesome stick. I have a box of these and they are my go to smoke. Atlantic Cigar has them for $51.95 a box which is great.

Yep, I go through these at a pretty rapid rate. Had one tonite in fact. Great smoke and a great deal. I really need to order some more.

If you like these, try the Omar Ortez Original. Similar flavor profile IMO.

Nice review! I really enjoy this cigar.

One of my favorites. A deliciously complex and powerful cigar, with a reasonable price as a bonus. Thanks for the review.
