Antaño CT delivers a medium to full body strength, with dynamic creaminess and intense spicy notes, intentionally pungent to showcase the contrasts between the expected subtleties of the CT shade, and the rich and potent flavors of Nicaraguan tobacco. With its silky-smooth Connecticut shade wrapper, it may seem tamer than its bolder Antaño brethren, but Antaño CT is a masterful and paradoxical blend of what a cigar with attitude can be. The first blend of the Antaño family was released almost 20 years ago as a tribute to the power and the essence of "The True Nicaraguan Puro", and this characteristic power and essence made Joya de Nicaragua the most sought-after cigar in the US during the 1970s post-Cuban embargo. Antaño CT, with its Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, and Nicaraguan fillers and binder, represents the brand's interpretation of what a Connecticut wrapped cigar should be, maintaining the authentic Nicaraguan character that has defined Joya de Nicaragua for over five decades. Recently it was selected as part of Cigar Aficionado's "The 16 Best Cigar You Need for the Fall", with reviewers noting a lively, sweet-and-spicy interplay of graham cracker, red and black pepper and some boozy, rum barrel notes. Professional reviewers have described the flavor as full, body as full and strength as medium-full, making this a cigar that defies expectations; a smoke for those with defying souls.
