A full Nicaraguan puro built entirely from Nicaraguan harvested tobaccos distinguishes the Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Robusto Grande, a full strength 5 1/2 x 52 cigar made by hand in Nicaragua.
The wrapper is Nicaraguan Habano Criollo, and the binder and filler are also Nicaraguan, so every leaf in the blend comes from the same country. The filler draws on tobacco from Jalapa, Condega and Estelí, three of Nicaragua’s best known growing regions. Because nothing from outside Nicaragua is added, the blend shows the character of the country’s tobacco, and Joya de Nicaragua rates the strength 5 out of 5.
Spicy and robust describes the profile, with an earthy finish. The body and aroma are described as unbridled, so this cigar is aimed at smokers who already enjoy fuller bodied Nicaraguan blends. It is a bold, straightforward smoke, with no infusions or added flavours.
The Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Robusto Grande format pairs a five and a half inch length with a 52 ring gauge. That is slightly longer and wider than a standard Robusto, giving a more substantial smoke without moving up to a Churchill or a Gordo. It sits between the shorter Cónsul and the longer Alisado in the Antaño range.
Bundle of 20 cigars

Thanks for carrying this brand which in my opinion is the best cigar under $50 anywhere. These are strong cigars for sure but they are so smooth that you hardly notice the strength, these cigars can easily be enjoyed by relatively new cigar smokers. These are fabulous and thanks again for carrying them.

Although rated as a full strength cigar I found it to be a smooth tasty smoke.To me it was more like smoking a tasty medium strength cigar. My only criticism was the smoke output was a bit lacklustre and the draw could have been a bit easier. Otherwise it was a great cigar and one that I will be ordering again.

Thank you very much for carrying these cigars! Very smooth smoke, tasty strong cigar for sure! Hardly noticed the strength until about the end. I found the draw to be easy and the smoke output was phenomenal along with a nice even burn. Great cigars under $20. Easily enjoyable for relatively new smokers, definitely going to be ordering more.

Like the other reviews mentioned would not have pegged this as a full strength. Great flavor, had trouble putting it down. Razor sharp burn line, solid ash, superb draw, smoke output was hit and miss at first but seemed to correct itself 1/3 down. Definitely box worthy

Great cigar for the price. Like the other reviews rated as full strength but found it to be in my preference of medium smooth. Good draw, even burn start to finish with plenty of smoke. Taste was enjoyable with no burn for last third. Will definitely buy again. Cuban cigars take notice Nicaragua leaf is taking over. my only recommendation is to let sit for at least 6 months as a bit fresh out of the box.

New at the cigar game, but I’ve definitely been spoiled with these gems.
As others have said above, medium to strong,smooth; amazing on their own & full of flavour right to the end .
I’ve had others including higher priced Cubans,but I keep coming back to these.
Blair’s comment above nailed it

Full strength, not for begginners, a little uneven burn but manageable.
