Joya De Nicaragua Dark Corojo Poderoso Cigars
The Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo Poderoso is the intensified successor to the legendary Antano 1970—a cigar once widely considered the strongest in the world. Released a decade later to "kick things up a notch," the Dark Corojo takes the raw power of its predecessor and refines it into a sophisticated, aficionado-style experience. Handcrafted in Estelí and marketed under the Drew Estate umbrella, this top-shelf masterpiece is a Nicaraguan puro featuring aged fillers from the country's three premier growing regions, a spicy Nicaraguan binder, and a near-black Nicaraguan Corojo Oscuro wrapper. The Poderoso, a 6” x 54 Torpedo, is the line's most celebrated vitola, representing a blend that has reached distinguished ratings as high as 91 from Cigar Aficionado.
The visual appeal of the Poderoso is striking; its 3-year-aged wrapper is so rich with oils that it nearly glistens against the luxurious black and gold bands. The construction is rugged yet seamless, producing a slow, cool burn that unleashes an immediate rush of cedar, earth, and spicy white pepper. As the smoke develops, the palate is layered with notes of dark chocolate, toffee, and leather, finishing with a signature sweet-and-spicy character. While the flavor profile is remarkably broad, the strength is uncompromising—sitting at the absolute top of the fullness scale.
This is not a cigar for the uninitiated; Joya de Nicaragua specifically engineered the Antaño Dark Corojo for the seasoned connoisseur and strongly recommends enjoying it on a full stomach. It serves as the ultimate "finishing touch" to a heavy steak dinner, pairing exquisitely with espresso, port wine, or a bold peated scotch. If you are a devotee of the original Antaño 1970 or simply demand the pinnacle of Nicaraguan power, the Poderoso stands as the definitive modern heritage smoke.
Obviously Antano Dark Corojo isn’t a beginners’ cigar. Heck, it isn’t even a cigar for a seasoned enthusiast. But then again, it was never meant to be. The good people at Joya Cigars specifically intended Antano Dark Corojo to be for experienced connoisseurs. In addition, even those experienced connoisseurs should never smoke Antano Dark Corojo on an empty stomach. In fact, it makes a great finishing touch to a steak dinner, especially paired with espresso or port wine. If you enjoyed the original Antano 1970, or are just a fan of extremely full-bodied cigars in general, there’s no reason not to try this amazing offering from Joya Cigars. The “Yesteryear Cigar” has been revived, updated, and overhauled. Now it’s better than ever. Don’t take our word for it, though. Try a Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo Poderoso today and taste for yourself the true heritage of Nicaraguan cigars.
