Review Notes:
I have been smoking cigars for 7 months now and I think this is the best cigar I have had so far. It is my daily smoke and easy on the pocket book. Great even burn and construction. If you like a heavy but not harsh full bodied smoke you must try one of these.

Review Notes:
I still find these to be one-dimensional and borderline harsh, even after 18 months of rest. If you like pepper, you'll love 'em. But if you're waiting for some other flavors to add some interest, you're out of luck. The Antano's draw is more consistent than the Celebracion, but otherwise I prefer the subtlety and complexity of the Celebracion line. It's not a question of "too strong" as much as it is an issue of balance. The Antano is like a Cajun dish in which the onion, garlic and celery were just replaced by more cayennes. Without belaboring the "strength vs. body/complexity" debate, I'll just say that the Antano deepens my appreciation for the blending artistry of the Bolivar RC, LTC Ann'y or Tatuaje.

Review Notes:
Hard to say if this is the best of the JdNA line ( they're all amazingly good ), but it's a close call. This cigar is just loaded with potent sweet and spicy flavors. No warnings from me. I don't think JdNAs are overwhelmingly strong. Sure, they start out very spicy, but the initial blast settles down to a true full bodied smoke that hits on all cylinders without pain to the palate or harshness. Just sit back and enjoy what may be one of the all time great values in full bodied smokes.

Review Notes:
To tell you the truth, I've been about half afraid to smoke one of these after reading the WARNING reviews. No longer. What a fabulous cigar. Yes, it was strong and full-bodied, but in no way overpowering. Despite all that, it had rich and even subtle flavors as described by previous reviewers - and a tremendous aroma. Rolled like a little tobacco log and very nice burn. My sole complaint is that the draw was kinda tight - more huffing and puffing than I prefer to yield enough smoke. But I smoked it right out of the five-pack, so hoping a little rest time will help. Again, if you like strong, flavorful smokes you should definitely try these.

Review Notes:
Sorry to disagree with reviewer Sree but he is flat wrong. I have had the opportunity to smoke many a Cuban and love the great full body smooth smoke, as he does BUT....
This Cigar has just that, an excellent full body taste, smooth start to finish. I couldn't believe it when I tried it so I aged them 6 months. Even better if possible. One of the best i've ever tasted.
Caution: these are not for the new cigar smoker, it could kill them and i dont want to live with that.
