Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 is a reincarnation of Joya’s famous blends from the 70’s. The Nicaraguan cigar industry planted its roots in the mid 60’s, and within a decade cigar connoisseurs recognized their production as among the best in the world. However, after years of civil war and Communist rule, the industry was all but destroyed. Joya de Nicaragua created the Antano 1970 in 2002 to celebrate its rich heritage and its successful revival onto the world scene. The robust puro even scored an impressive 91 in Cigar Insider. A Criollo wrapper encases a potent blend of Nicaraguan Ligero filler tobacco, resulting in a full-bodied, full flavored powerhouse.
