For more than 50 years, Joya de Nicaragua has been synonymous with strength, authenticity, and Nicaraguan pride. Founded in 1968 in Estelí, the brand quickly earned international acclaim as the original Nicaraguan premium cigar house. The Antaño series became its signature—bold, uncompromising smokes that set the standard for powerhouse blends. With the Antaño Connecticut Toro, Joya adds elegance to its storied history.
At 6” x 50, the Toro offers a slow, deliberate experience that reveals layer after layer of complexity. Creamy tones of honey and toasted bread introduce the smoke before transitioning into waves of pepper, oak, and espresso. The longer format amplifies the cigar’s transitions, making it one of the most dynamic vitolas in the Antaño Connecticut lineup.
Wrapped in a golden Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf over robust Nicaraguan fillers, the Toro strikes a rare balance—refined smoothness riding alongside raw, earthy intensity. It’s a cigar that demonstrates how Joya can honor its bold legacy while reaching new audiences who might shy away from the strongest blends.
For an after-dinner indulgence or a slow weekend session, the Antaño Connecticut Toro bridges tradition and innovation. It reflects everything Joya de Nicaragua stands for: craftsmanship, heritage, and a fearless approach to flavor.
