Joya De Nicaragua Antano 1970
$131.20 – $195.9850 years ago this old soldier was considered one of the world’s best cigar with a reputation as a true cuban style “He Man” stick. If you’re a fan of mild smokes stand clear of this 90+ rated long time full bodied old school favorite. While this brand style remains one of my favorites with whiskey, if you search the name you’ll see a bunch of new styles to the line added by Drew Estate who now owns this great brand.
Origin – Nicaragua
Filler – Nicaraguan

Joya De Nicaragua Antano Gran Reserva
$164.00 – $188.6050 years ago this brands Original entry (featured on our site) 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. It still remains one of my favorites with whiskey.
Drew Estate acquired the brand in 2018 and it wasn’t long before they began reinventing this iconic brand. After launching the Red and Black editions (listed on our site) they turned to the Original and did what I never thought they could. In 2018 the Gran Reserva line was rated 93 and placed #16 as one of the best cigars of the year! While this stick has the same overall blend used in the Original, all the leaves were allowed to age a long, long time. The results are all the characteristics of the Original with a smoother, medium bodied taste creating a tamer, friendlier smoke that everyone can enjoy.
Origin – Nicaragua
Filler – Nicaraguan
Binder – Nicaraguan
Wrapper Type – Nicaraguan Corojo
