Joya de Nicaragua has never been shy about pushing boundaries—especially when it comes to the Antaño series. With the Antaño CT Gran Cónsul cigar, the brand continues its tradition of flipping expectations on their head, this time by wrapping a chunky 60-ring-gauge short figurado in a silky Connecticut leaf. This isn’t your average shade cigar. It’s bold, creamy, and limited to just 250 boxes—reserved exclusively for Joya's top retail accounts.
The blend is built around Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, delivering the rich body and volcanic spice that made the Antaño name famous. But with the addition of an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, the experience gains a layer of sophistication—bringing balance to the brawn. The Gran Cónsul format, already a fan favorite in other Antaño lines, makes its CT debut here, offering a stout, flavor-packed smoke with surprising finesse.
What does the Joya Antaño CT Gran Cónsul cigar taste like?
Expect a medium-plus profile that kicks off with creamy cedar and white pepper, gradually deepening into roasted nuts, graham cracker, and toasted spice. The short, thick format concentrates the flavor without rushing it, like a tight set list that still brings the encore.
