Cigar Reviewed: Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970

Smoked at: Alabama

My first one of these recently was plugged with a very hard draw so I gave it another try.

Prelight: sweet earthy

1/3: Sweet medium woody flavor

2/3: Floral and sweet earth. This is one of the few sticks in which I’ve tasted floral notes which is nice.

3/3: Sweet wood and floral notes.

Draw and construction were great unlike the first I tried from the 5 pack. I will say that I had some of these in the 2006-2008 time period and they were much more flavorful and spicy back then. These were more medium profile, not bland, but definitely not standouts like they were in the mid 2000’s.
