Joya De Nicaragua Tor...Robust....Robusoro?

Picked up 10 of these about a year ago after reading a lot about them....they definitely have an interesting history and there are clearly many fans of this cigar...buuuut i don't think I'm among them. I do, however, like the strength, and at times I can appreciate *some* of the notes in the profile, but overall it maintains a floral-sweetness that is rather off-putting to me.
Would I smoke one if it were offered to me?
Sure....
Would I buy and age a box?

Just finished the one you sent me Michael! Thanks so much!! Ash lasted half the stick! It was good enjoyed the strength but I think I agree with you on id smoke more but not a box. For me it was okay first third and half way through the second it got a good notch in flavor which brought up my ranking on it and lasted through the last third! Thanks again! Lasted a hour and 45 minutes or so.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

I like the Antano, but I wish it were more consistent. I've had some that are excellent and more than a few that were meh. I did order some new Antano CT's though, so I hope those are good.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Oh good, I'm glad you got around to checking it out! And yeah I agree the last 1/2 is superior to the beginning of the cigar...

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

@ Ray I haven't had the Antano CT yet but have you ever had Joya's Cabinetta? Wooo buddy they are a tasty stick...for what I don't like about the Antano, Joya sure makes up for with their Cabinetta...

As for today -

Crowned Heads Headley Grange Toro - very nice, I actually think I'll leave a review on this one today!

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

No I have not tried that one yet....I'll have to though. Regular Antanos are hit or miss for me.....more miss I guess, but sometimes I find a real good'n.

Right now I'm smoking a Tat 2017 Monster. I had a full, unopened box in the humi that I completely forgot about.

DPG Black 1979 Robusto - man oh man what a great cigar, each time I smoke one, I love this blend even more. Something so subtle & sublime about it. Easily in my top 10 favorites, and you can bet the farm that I'll be buying many more.

Casa Fernandez Aniversario 2014 Toro - this cigar was sent to me by Tio Gato, a fellow inmate with clearly great taste in cigars! This one is a pretty solid medium body but has lots of flavor, making for an excellent AM cigar with my coffee!

AJF New World Cameroon Torpedo - first off, this cigar seems more narrow than it should be, but personally I like that, I'm not a fan of larger ring gauges that are longer than traditional robustos.
Had this resting for about 1.5 months which has proved sufficient, but I'd recommend letting it rest 2-3 months if you get any for yourself.
Peppery start, then a familiar New World profile follows, accented by notes of wood, caramel & spice. Pretty much a textbook Cameroon, in other words. Lacks the sophistication of the original New World Oscuro imo. I'll be revisiting this one in another month or so.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Oh and hey Clay looks like Tom hasn't seen your question yet, the brand he is smoking appears to be La Flor Dominicana, if you look for that brand online Im sure you can find the corresponding band/blend. :tu

Oliveros Gran Retorno 2 Toro - first time trying one of these and it's really good! Medium-full, Light pepper and some good spices, smokes way above its price point imo.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Smoked an Opus X Lost City tonight. Came from a box I bought a few years ago and I must say that these have not been worth the coin. Good cigars, but not $30 a pop good.

Dunbarton Umbagog Toro - I read this was named for being too ugly, but the wrapper looks beautiful to me! Personally, I think they named it after what you say when you see a beautiful woman walk past you! (Thanks folks - I'll be here all week, please remember to tip the staff...)
Back to the point, the Umbagog is great. Definitely more on the medium side of medium-full, if it was only a little stronger I'd think it was an ace. That said it is immensely flavorful and if you like the Mi Quierda (supposedly a similar blend) then you'll love this one, they are absolutely similar. So yeah I'd recommend this stick, but if you are a full bodied smoker I'd definitely plan on saving these for a breakfast smokes only.
