Joya De Nicaragua Antano CT Robusto

Just okay (in my subjective experience!)— I’ve enjoyed others a lot more than this stick, and was underwhelmed by the profile, which is a result of personal tastes, of course. I’ve had better connecticuts for cheaper— I found there wasn’t much depth to the particular one I had, and there weren’t many moments that piqued my interest. The thickness of the wrapper made it burn oddly, but was compounded by the fact the triple cap cracked when cut, despite being properly cared for in my humidor, leading to a deep seam split almost down to the first band— I covered the crack with my thumb in the photo before lighting it, but may have thought twice about doing so if I’d known the smoke wasn’t going to be that great. This split led to the second and last thirds being underwhelming and ruining the draw. I don’t want to say cardboard-y, but I just don’t know.

nice smoke
