Joya De Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo Robusto cigar review

The cigar really surprised me. Its not often i smoke a full bodied cigar but still smooth like a medium bodied cigar. Incredibly hard to explain. A perfect cigar for those who don’t smoke full bodied cigars but are curious about them.

Construction

The cigar was firmly rolled and had a completely matte feel to it

Wrapper: Nicaragua – Binder: Nicaragua – Filler: Nicaragua

Scent and cold draw

The scent I felt on the wrapper was hay and farm while the filler smelled of hay and ground coffee. The cold draft was incredible, it was almost like sitting in a coffee shop with a chocolate pastry. The cold draft I felt acted like an appetizer. A cold draft that could be enjoyed long before lighting the cigar.

1/3 Lets light up the Joya De Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo Robusto

Joya De Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo started off with a thick and creamy texture. The flavors I felt were a combination of dark chocolate with a hint of hazelnut, espresso with a dark syrupy sweetness, nuttiness with a lighter hint of cashews, spiciness and sweet fresh woodiness. In the background were flavors of raisins, brown sugar and an incredibly light metallic flavor. Retrohalation tickled to a little light in the nose and gave nuances of hay and light pepperiness. What was incredibly interesting was that between the puffs there was a lighter taste of hickory.

2/3 of the cigar shows a lovely complexity

The texture of the cigar was still creamy but not as robust as before. The flavors I felt were Sweet fresh woodiness, hickory, raisins, hay and dark chocolate combined with cacao. In the background there were nuances of saltiness, dark syrup-like sweetness, nuttiness in the direction of Hazelnut and lighter metallic nuances. Retrohalation was reminiscent of the beginning and tickled a little lightly in the nose and gave nuances of hay and pepperiness.

3/3 The cigar ends in a good way

The texture was creamy with a slight dryness. The flavors I felt were a little more robust than before and finished the cigar in a good way. The dominant flavors were Cacao, pine needles, hay and dark woodiness. In the background there were flavors of raisins, espresso with syrupy sweetness, saltiness and earthiness. I had expected the retrohale to be the same as before but it became smoother and gave nuances of hay.
