JdN Antaño Dark Corojo

Xolotal Mungin · 06-02-2014, 11:08 PM

First try of this. Prelight was exciting: dark dried fruit note. Then.. I must have missed something. People like these, I know. I tasted some wood (oak?) maybe chocolate and some sweetness. Other than, nothing really. I wanted to like it, but was kind of disappointed, really. I like some other JdN offerings. What happened?

There have been a couple other recent threads on this line of cigars from jdN lately. Seems like some of us on here get more bang out of the smaller sized vitola.

The Peligroso (Corona) is the best vitola for this IMHO. I've tried the bigger ones too and the flavor is just not there for me. Generally speaking, I prefer the Antano 1970 over the Dark Corojo.

Smaller seems to be better for this one.
