Joya de Nicaragua - Antaño 1970 Robusto Grande

That spice hit right away and stayed bold through the whole smoke, with a medium-to-full body that kept my interest from first light to last ash. The draw was effortless, and the robusto grande size gave me a solid hour of rich, peppery flavor without ever feeling harsh.

The burn stayed razor-sharp down to the nub, and that medium-to-full body kept things interesting without ever getting harsh. Ash held on for over an inch, which is rare for me with a robusto grande.

The spice hit is perfect right from the first draw, and the robusto grande size gives you plenty of time to enjoy it without feeling rushed. Burn was razor-sharp the whole way through, even in a bit of wind. This is my go-to when I want something with real kick.
