The Antano is a real piece of cigar history.  As the first brand ever made in Nicaragua, Joya de Nicaragua is a favorite of aficionados who prefer cigars from this region.

Nicaragua is the fastest growing cigar manufacturing country in the world, but that has not always been the case. In 1964 the very first cigar factory opened in Nicaragua, which relative to other cigar producing nations is a late start. Joya de Nicaragua was the first real brand made in the factory and in 1970 it was the cigar of choice in the United States, smoked by the elites of society and politicians of the day. With political corruption and communism plaguing Nicaragua, production of the Joya de Nicaragua brand ground to a halt.

Joya de Nicaragua is back and the Antano is a tribute to the original blend rolled in 1970. The cigar is full bodied and full flavored, leaving nothing to the imagination. Spicy and earthy flavors hit the palate like a freight train, and the moderate finish leaves you going back for another puff. Highly rated and reviewed, this cigar has gained a dedicated following.
