Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Consul Review

[dadof3illinois]

These are a pretty good solid smoke, not too harsh but do carry a pretty good kick with lots of spice. Pickup several and put some away for a year and you'll see a big difference.

This is my "comfort cigar", when in doubt I always go to these. I love the spicy notes throughout and they seem to always burn so beautifully, I have yet to get one that I have a lot of trouble with burning down. (Not to say it won't ever happen..it does)

I strongly recommend these guys, as far as strength and getting sick, this is one of the first cigars I ever liked, the lady at the 'gar shop tried to talk me out of it when I told her I was looking for something that didn't taste bland. It was strong but it didn't set me on my ass like others do. (Again, have yet to have that happen but I'm sure it will) If you are an ubernewb to cigars and you like spicy, I'd say try it, you don't always have to smoke the whole cigar, unless it's a macho man thing..then you can just smoke it alone and no one will ever know

I go after the Machito more times than not when dealing with this line.

Just had my first one last week, the Gran Consul (sp?) I believe. Very full bodied, lots of complexity and great spicy flavors! Burn was true, ton's of smoke & that wrapper is glorious. Smoke them slowly and you will be rewarded with an outstanding NC smoke! I will be buying boxes of these.

Just smoked a 2 year old one last night. Very pleasant smoke. I can't say it was still the powerhouse it was but it was very nice now.
