50 years ago this brand was considered one of the world’s best cigars with a reputation as a true cuban style “He Man” stick. If you’re a fan of mild smokes you would have stood clear of this 90+ rated long time full bodied old school favorite. This beautifully boxed sampler’s contents still remain as one of the gold standards for complex, strong cigars. The Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Sampler Box contains:
1 – Antano 1970 Gran Consul
1 – Antano 1970 Robusto Grande
1 – Antano 1970 Belicoso
1 – Antano 1970 Churchill
1 – Antano 1970 Machito

Drew Estate acquired Joya in 2008 and it wasn’t long before they began reinventing this iconic brand. When this very unique 90 rated cigar launched in 2119 most of us did a double take! As the picture shows, this stick has two wrappers.
The darker Nicaraguan Criollo leaf towards the cap is combined with a lighter Connecticut seed Ecuadorian Shade one for the main body of the cigar. The result is a smooth, medium bodied smoke that will gain intensity should you decide to keep going past the band! This is yet another Joya offering for many smokers to enjoy the rich heritage of this great brand.

Drew Estate acquired the brand several years ago and it wasn’t long before they began to reinvent the line. Their first edition of Joya Red (listed on our site) was a huge success. When Black hit the scene in 2018, not only did it get a 93 rating, it was also named one of the top 25 cigars of the year! The addition of a San Andreas Mexican wrapper made this medium bodied, slow burning stick a huge hit at a very friendly price.

In 2015 the brand began reinventing itself reaching out to appeal to more smokers. This 90 rated first Red edition showed all of us they were on the right track! While retaining the Original brand’s robust character, this stick steered towards the middle realm of the taste scale. Well made with a perfect draw, it didn’t take long for this stick to gain major traction with countless smokers that enjoy medium bodied cigars.
