Joya de Nicaragua Antano? Celebracion?

[Emjaysmash]

One of my absolute favorite Cigars is the JdN Antano. great Body, great flavor. A+ in my book.

Depends on whether you are looking for a Full or a Med/full smoke. Antano is the full. Celebracion is the same blend with a different wrapper.

I don't think so. Tha Antano Serie C is the same blend with a different wrapper. The Celebracion doesn't taste at all like the Antano, IMO.

Joya de Nicaragua Celebracion

Say hello to Antano’s new brother, Celebracion!

Joya de Nicaragua Celebracion is the latest premium from the makers of Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 – one of the hottest, strongest smokes on the market. Using the same Nicaraguan grown Habana-seed fillers and binders utilized by Antano, the Celebracion sports a super smooth, aged Habana-seed Criollo wrapper leaf. The end result is a complex, flavorful, medium to full-bodied cigar that’s easier on the palate than its older brother. A must try cigar, that’s priced just right.

From the CI catalog.

Hmm...learn something new every day...

The Celebracion I had was Connecticut-shade-wrapped. So why the Antano Serie C?

My understanding is that the serie C is CT Shade
the Celebracion is criollo like bobarian just pointed out
and in response to the original question go with the antono it's my fave of the line

Yeah, and I was confused about the Criollo wrapper, because I'll be damned if the ones I've got aren't Connecticut shade...
