Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Machito Review

[smokemifyagotem]

Smoked my first one of these the other day. Maybe the strongest cigar I've ever had.
Even before lighting the cigar made my lips sting and there was a distinct taste of nail polish remover which initially worried me.....
After lighting though the nail polish taste was gone and I was off to nicotine buzz heaven. As far as flavor goes it had a pretty straight forward taste of tabacco and a hint of chocolate - overall not a bad flavor. What made me like it so much was the power!! Ashton VSG's have nothing on these little guys in the power dept.
Definetly not an everyday smoke, but would be great after a big steak dinner.
ps - Do not, I repeat DO NOT smoke on an empty stomach no matter how seasoned a smoker you are or else

These stix go nice w/coffee just before a round of golf. Not as much kick as the Gran Consul. Nevertheless a great daily smoke!
