Joya de Nicaragua is known for their well made STRONG cigars. Recently they have made a lot of news because they are hiring a lot of people from their competitors or bringing them out of retirement. That can only add to their excellent line of cigars. I have long enjoyed the regular Antano line and was excited to try the dark.

Appearance: The wrapper was a near black, toothy gem of a leaf. It seems well made and has a nice looking gold and black band. 9/10
Construction: Seemingly well made with no soft spots and densely packed with tobacco. There were a couple of spots where the wrapper seems to be unraveling (maybe it is just the pectin coming apart). All in all, not bad but I am worried about the wrapper. 7/10
Burn: My concerns were unfounded. This burned with a great line and it needed no touchups. 9/10
Aroma: Nice barnyard aroma with a hint of sweetness that smells like hard candy. 8/10
Draw: Draws exceptionally well. 10/10
Flavor: Bold and powerful but not OVER-powerful. There is a sweetness on the back end that reminds me of sweet tea. Very unique. 10/10
Availability: You can find these anywhere. I got mine from Alcorns for about $8.00. I certainly think this is a smoke worth the price. 10/10
Personal Overall Experience: I don’t know if this will make any top ten lists, but this is a good cigar that sits just right at the end of the day. I could smoke these every weekend. Nicely made, good price point and a very unique sweet and spicy flavor. 27/30
Total: 90/100
