Joya De Nicaragua Antano 1970

Tight draw not all that unusual for these. They're generally packed pretty full. I usually enjoy these, but I've never really figured them out. I'd say that across the couple dozen I've had, they're the oppposite of consistency of flavor. I don't really believe that the raw tobacco itself (or the blend) has had that much of a range, but I sure have experienced a range of tastes in these.
I suspect it is age differences; that, perhaps, the cigar changes somewhat dramatically with 6, 12, 18 months of age. But, I think that also, RH has more affect on these than most; that one kept at 62 probably tastes much different than one kept at 70. I don't know...but these tend to waver between kick in the head spicy (and sometimes harsh) to a smooth-medium/full body.
