Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Big Bull 7" * 60

Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 is a cigar created as a tribute to the Nicaraguan puro of yesteryear, a cigar so good that it had been chosen to replace the Cuban cigars in the White House after the Cuban embargo. This is a powerhouse of a smoke, handmade with all Nicaraguan tobacco that is robust and spicy. Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 has been aged to develop a complex flavor profile that tantalizes the seasoned cigar smoker with notes of pepper, almond, coffee, cocoa and cedar. The cigar is made by Alejandro Martinez Cuenca, the man who brought back Nicaragua's oldest cigar brand, Joya de Nicaragua.

Double Coronas are usually 6.75 to 8 inches long by a 49 to 54 ring.

Most cigars are round in shape, as this is how the cigars are rolled by the torcedor.

This cigar is 7 inches long, or 177.8 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 60, so his diameter is 60/64 inches or 23.88 mm.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Colorado is a medium brown color also known as EMS or English Market Selection as this used to be the color with more popularity in England than in America.

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

Joya de Nicaragua was founded in 1968, the first factory to make premium handmade cigars in Nicaragua. Located in Esteli and now owned by Dr. Alejandro Martinez Cuenca, the Fabrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. is 100% Nicaraguan owned and operated.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Nicaraguan cigar wrappers are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Wrappers grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro wrappers are all produced in Nicaragua.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
