The Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Connecticut Robusto is a cigar that honors tradition while rewriting the rules. As Nicaragua’s very first premium cigar manufacturer, Joya de Nicaragua has been crafting bold, uncompromising smokes since 1968, earning its reputation as the benchmark for Nicaraguan tobacco. With the Antaño Connecticut line, the brand offers a surprising twist on its powerhouse legacy.
This 5” x 52 Robusto wears a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper that softens the edges without dulling the punch. Creamy notes of cedar and nuts greet the palate, soon joined by pepper, earth, and the unmistakable strength that defines the Antaño name. It’s a reminder that even a Connecticut can deliver the raw energy that made Joya de Nicaragua a legend.
Medium-to-full in body, the Robusto is masterfully balanced—smooth enough for a morning smoke, yet bold enough to satisfy veterans who crave strength. Each draw showcases the blending expertise that has kept Joya de Nicaragua relevant for over five decades.
Whether paired with a rich coffee or an oaky bourbon, the Antaño Connecticut Robusto proves that heritage and innovation can coexist. It’s the perfect introduction to Joya’s historic brand for newer smokers, and a refreshing change of pace for loyal fans of their fuller-bodied classics.
