Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 is a cigar created as a tribute to the Nicaraguan puro of yesteryear, a cigar so good that it had been chosen to replace the Cuban cigars in the White House after the Cuban embargo. This is a powerhouse of a smoke, handmade with all Nicaraguan tobacco that is robust and spicy. Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 has been aged to develop a complex flavor profile that tantalizes the seasoned cigar smoker with notes of pepper, almond, coffee, cocoa and cedar. The cigar is made by Alejandro Martinez Cuenca, the man who brought back Nicaragua's oldest cigar brand, Joya de Nicaragua.
