Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Original 1970 Magnum
6 x 60 | Box of 20 Cigars
The Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Original 1970 Magnum is one of the boldest large-ring vitolas in the iconic Antaño lineup. Inspired by the powerful Nicaraguan puros that made the brand famous in the 1970s, the Antaño 1970 series is renowned for its robust strength, peppery character, and old-school Nicaraguan intensity. The Magnum format delivers that classic profile in a thick 60-ring-gauge cigar that emphasizes richness, smoke volume, and a cooler burn. [smokingpipes.com], [neptunecigar.com]

Blend & Heritage
The Antaño 1970 blend was created to honor the "true Nicaraguan puro" style that helped establish Joya de Nicaragua as one of the world's most respected cigar manufacturers. Made entirely from Nicaraguan tobaccos and wrapped in a flavorful Criollo leaf, it remains one of the benchmark full-bodied cigars in the industry. [neptunecigar.com]
The Magnum's larger diameter places more emphasis on the filler blend, creating a richer and slightly creamier interpretation of the classic Antaño recipe. [neptunecigar.com], [atlanticcigar.com]
